Well, I don't know if I lost my game forever, or if i'm missing something. I've been playing the original Men of War recently, and it's been running just fine, but one day I tried installing a mod and once I activated it, my game froze up (I've used the mod before, it never did this). So I ended up having to restart my computer since nothing would work. When I tried to load my game up again, I got this;

Exception

String expected! (esdlreader.cpp, 287)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
>>main
>file "@/profiles/lastuser"

Men of War: Assault Squad - v1.90.4 - standard
*current date* - 0x00000000


So, after getting that, I looked up solutions online. One of the solutions were to delete the 'lastuser' folder in My Documents, so I did that. Still didn't work, so I tried another suggestion which was to just delete the entire "profiles" folder, but everytime I started up my game it would just restore the profiles, as well as the corrupted lastuser.

I've reinstalled the game on Steam twice, first time I just deleted local content, but second time I deleted both the Men of War documents folder and the Steam Men of War folder, but it's still not working. Can anyone help me with this?

Same here. Men Of War doesn't start. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it again and again, still, it won't start. But you say yours started. How did that happen. Did you do anything that I should know? :-(
