Game Crashes?

[Chatterer]

Well I have tried every way i can think of to download the beta and i just cant get it to work. i have asked for help from many people in the community.

My problem is that when i download the game it all goes fine and when i open the new beta everything looks like it should. but when i start the new campaign it crashes after the text runs through.

The error message says unable to find game data. aborting.

I'm kinda upset I really want to play the beta.

Kinda helps if you tell us your system specs ect. And did you try start a skirmish map by any chance? Does that chrash?

[Chatterer]

Well I dont exactly know what you know by specs. and i tried skirmish it crashes also.

Try to uninstall the game and remove data and configuration directories, then install the game again.

[The Commander]

You dont know any of your computer specs? wtf.
Is is Xp, Vista? Surely you must know this at least.

[doom3r]

Meh, maybe he just don't know how to look at them... In that case, Chatterer, you should go to start-control panel-system-hardware. Take a look there...

[Chatterer]

Well thanks you for being understanding doom3r.

Intel(R)
Celeron(R) CPU 2.00 GHz
2.00GHz 224MB of RAM

is this what your talking about?

And I have tried completely removing all my warzone files and reinstalling the whole game like 3 times. it does the same thing.

Crap  224mb/ram? Weird... Usualy PC detects 256mb/ram...
What OS you runing? + please add crash report to post dude!

P.S If you so n**b, just use "Everest" it tells everything about your machine  ;D

224MiB of RAM makes sense.

If the system has an embedded graphics card with no memory of its own, it will use the systems memory. So if he has 256MiB of RAM and 32MiB is used by the graphics card then we are left with 224MiB.

Although that is not a lot, and could cause problems, I do not think it is the cause of the problem he is experiencing.

I bet he had either S3/Via or Intel gfx, and the drivers are less than good.
That is the #1 cause of issues that I have found if the game crashes on startup or runs very slow.

[Chatterer]

so your saying the game is to good for my crappy graphics card and that is the reason it is crashing?

the error message says "game data not found.aborting"

[ouch]

sounds to me like your user account doesn't have the proper file permitions.

try installing the game onto your desktop once.

No, I am not saying that.

I am saying that it is one possibility.

However, the above error message points out that it can't find the game data, so it quits.

Where is it installed at, and what is the default language for your OS?
