Hello,

When I start Eras game crashes at start, sometimes wont even open, but mostly game open to main menu and after 1 second crush without any error, game just turn off. The same thing with gof 2.5. I did everythng that is writen in instalment instruction, and I want to add that 1 year ago I played eras without any problems. I have windows 7. Any ideas what that can be ?

Post system.log, compile.log and if it exists, error.log files

There is no error.log

Those look fine so far.  First make sure that a file named, "Buccaneer's Reef" with no extension is present in the same directory that Maelstrom.exe is, and also in the root ERAS mod folder, if that is a different directory than where Maelstrom is.

I have that file in both folders, in eras folder and in maelstrom 32 bit folder.

OK, let's see if this is an actual crash, or exit.  Launch the game, wait for the disappearance, then check Windows Event Viewer, Application for an error:


(1 edit)

I tried open the game like 4-5 times, after that I opened this event viewer but there was nothing recorded.

OK, so it is not actually crashing, but somehow exiting.  I will need to make some special logs to see launch progress that will write to system.log to figure out where this is happening.  Send me an email to chezjfrey@hotmail.com.  I will add that logging to the .exe, then send you a direct message to obtain it and you will run it and send me the system.logs.
