Hi there ChezJfrey! Hope you're doing well buddy.

It's been over 2 years since I played ERAS and I've come back to conquer the Caribbean once more. :)

I just updated the Maelstrom and the ERAS II automatically, and when I launch Maelstrom and click on ERAS II, it shows me this:


Any suggestion on how I may fix it? Tyvm.

I don't see anything...no image or message.  Without knowing the exact error, be sure to install the 2019VCRun installation for the Microsoft VC runtimes.  Also be sure that the DirectX 9 is the latest update with either directx_Jun2010_redist.exe, or the Microsoft web installer dxwebsetup, because 9.1c43 is needed.

Oh, strange - I pasted an image screenshot, it doesn't appear to you?
Let me follow your instructions first, then I'll report back to see if it works. Ty for the reply dude.

Update: I have deleted everything and started installing everything anew. Will redo the entire installation instructions then let you know how it goes. I also renamed the Maelstrom engine folder to Maelstrom as shown in the PDF file.

Alrighty! After I dont know how many GB worth of downloads, installs, reinstalls, and uninstalls, and 2 whole days of playing around, I finally figured out the problem.

The shortcut of the Maelstrom ERAS II game had invalid path so I just had to change that in the properties tab.. that's all!

If only I worked this hard in school...
