Installation Troubles R2.6.15

Recommended Posts

Everyonewith download errors, use attached program, and select the downloaded exe.

It should give the value 0D 7E F1 A2

Also, check the Blitzkrieg2.exe, it should give the value 24 55 9B CF

 

If you still have an error, mention the following:

Source of download. Where did you download the mod?

Full or Patch. Did you select the Full version, or the patch?

Zero Hour or The First Decade. Do you have Zero Hour or The First Decade

.Net 2.0 Framework. Did you get the .Net Framework message during installing?

Download it here, and try the installer again.

Language. Which language version of Zero Hour are you using?

Crash during launch?. Please post the contents of the ReleaseCrashInfo, to be found in the Your Documents/Zero Hour Folder.

I am having a problem launching the game. When I try it says "launcher has encountered problem needs to close."

 

I downloaded the file from derelect

I downloaded the full install

I have zero hour

I did install .Net 2.0 when I got the message

 

I preceded all this buy doing a fresh install of zero hour and installing the 1.4 patch.

 

Should I try and install the older blitz file and try the patch instead or is thier another way to clear up the problem? Thanks for the help.

Did you CRC the install file and Blitzkrieg2 file?

 

Can you look at your my documents folder, there is a Zero Hour folder there.

Post the contents of ReleaseCrashInfo here please.

 

O, and which language are you using?

In the single player skirmish, all bots immediately surrender upon starting. Also, the Russian mission (Kursk) does not finish even when all enemy tanks have been destroyed.

 

I downloaded the file form the derelict studios mirror

I downloaded the full install

I have zero hour

I did intall .Net2.0 after i recieved the message

 

I've never had any problems before in Blitzkrieg 2.5 and am using the English version.

I am using the English patch if that is what you are referring to. I am not up with all of the lingo, what do you mean by, CRC the install file. Again thanks for the help.

I also had a few problems and this is how I fixed things:

 

1. Remove Blitz.

2. Remove ZH.

3. Install ZH.

4. Patch ZH to 1.04.

5. Install Blitz v.2.6. (Also install Net 2.0 Framework if this pops up)

6. Start Blitz and have fun.

See the top of the post.

 

For the immediate ending for Skirmish and the no ending for Kursk (which difficulty?), they are probably related. We'll try to fix it in a week or 2.

 

This does not mean that R2.6 will have a functional AI. Functional AI is only expected for R3!

I cannot open the attatched crc32 file at the top pf the page. Windows does not open it. I am still not understanding how to check the values of the files. What am I looking for exactly. How does this relate to the game not wanting to launch?

Do you have winrar installed?

 

If not get it here.

 

I need to check if the installer is downloaded correctly. If it was corrupted, it could explain why your game isn't launching. Please understand, everything we know from your problem is from the info you give us.

If you don't give us much information, we don't have much options or reasons why the launcher wouldn't work.

The difficulty was "greenhorn," and a possible problem may have been that the focke wulf's were still actively attacking (just a suggestion.)

Thanks, we'll check it.

 

I actually had the same problem, but it was fixed in a later version. We'll check it out.

I understand Phoib and thanks for your help. All I know is that I have never had a problem like this with any game. I played the othert blitz mods with no problem.

Everything loads fine but it continues to say error with launcher and that it needs to close. I will check out the files with winrar ad see what that says.

 

How do I use the winrar? Do I put the blitz.exe in winrar and check it? The same with download.exe? Where is download.exe located? Where do I find the values at?

I have the CRC checker, how do I use it. I can find the blitz.exe in the zero hour folder, where is the download.exe? I am still not sure how to properly use the CRC.

What is the difference between winrar and the CRC checker?

Downloaded it (also hosting it) Installed it (along with .net 2.0) and it works great but there are some serious problems

 

The troops don't move correctly all the time (click on a AA gun and they never actually go to it)

if something is in the way, they won't always go around it, but run into it and stop

they don't stop moving always have the running animation on

 

I don't know if I am seeing things, naming things that are already identified / never got fixed / haven;t been fixed yet - just calling some of the things I seen

 

Also, the AI auto surrenders during a skirmish - but other then that the maps / missions are great :D nice work

@Hellfurt - Just overwrite the final.bmp thing, thats what I did. It works fine ;) Its not exactly a vital file.

 

GUYS-> THE AI DOES NOT WORK: ITS NOT MEANT TO WORK.

 

@Tycoon - AA guns built by workers? Yah, they're immobile. The deployed AT guns can move, very very slowly. And yes, in general the ZH pathfinding is shite; probably my biggest bugbear with the game.

 

@Nate - WinRAR is a bit like WinZip, it compresses files to make them smaller, for easier storage/transfer etc. So you have to use that to unpack the CRC program that Phoib posted above. Once you've unpacked it, double click on it to start it. It should then install the CRC programme on your PC. When it has installed, go to the folder where it installed to (OR look on the Start menu for it) and run CRC. It's a very basic interface, just listing the drives available etc. Just keep double-clikcing on the right names to take it to the Blitz .exe file in the ZH folder, then double click again, and it'll pop-up with the check-code. Check this with what Phoib has said it should be. Then do the same for the big (189mb i think off my head) file you downloaded initially for the mod, and check the check-code with the one Phoib gave. If either is different then you may have a corrupted download.

We cannot write a new AI with the many chances we are planning. The AI is very delicate. Change one thing, and you mess up all the scripts. EG, adding the V2 to the build list severly fubared the German AI.

No AI probably till R3, which is going to be the final version?

Final.BMP is the image you see before you get inbame but after the launching of the program. The tiger tank in teh snow :).

On skirmish (with all ai on my team, to prevent them surrendering) when the field guns are destroyed while deployed, the animation for their destruction includes their towing vehical.
