[Question] Anybody have any ideas...?

Hi, have just joined the forum as I'm having some major problems with RO and DH...Basically I can not get either to launch but up until yesterday they worked fine!!!

I have checked the integrity of the cache on both, both are succesful. I have un-installed and then re-installed both ( a pain in the rear end! ) but I am still getting this following error..

Build RedOrchestra_Build_[2005-11-27_10.48]

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

OK so I have uninstalled again and am now waiting on steam's slow as hell servers. I think if it doesnt work this time around I will just not bother installing again. As it's keeping me from playing other games on steam due to you not being able to DL and play at the same time. BORED!!!!

For what its worth your error last time was that some data was corrupted. So if you get the same error again try manually deleting the KF system folder and verifying the integrity of the game cache.

Thanks for the help Zetsumei.
Where is the KF system folder? I went into steam/steamapps/common/red orchestra/system but could not find it?
Strangely though I just noticed that the game is in the "common" folder and not the folder with my account name. I am having a similar problem with company of heroes and this too is in the common folder. Could this be why I am having issues? I removed the game last night and re-downloaded but got the exact same error message

Just to add to this I have installed on drive F/: is this likely to cause any problems? I used to run it on C/: but purchased a SATA drive to install all of my games on as my C/: is only a 74GB raptor and was choked with all my steam games. I have managed to get CS:S and DoD running from the F/: drive np, but RO and CoH just would not load. Splash screen and error for RO and absoloubtly nothing for CoH....

Have just removed steam and all games and am dl (again) RO...wish me luck!!

If Steam is on the C drive then RO has to be on the C drive as well, inside the SteamApps/Common folder

Thanks for the heads up Major Day.

Steam is also installed on the F/: drive. I have, I think managed to fix the problem now. I had to reformat the drive and so far I have managed to both launch and play RO I forgot how bloody difficult it is though :S

I guess this thread can now be locked/closed.

Cheers guys hopefully you will see me online my ID is Spotty_Bollocks or Spider Nipples. If you see me on one of your games say Hi
