Thanks for your answer AHO. I read that solution on Moddb and tried that but it still won't work. I'm still getting the same black screen

How did you do the installations process exactly?

1. Installed DtS
2. Used VFS unpacker to unpack the archives, one at a time, everything without a problem
3. Unpacked the add-on, incl. english texts
4. Used backup.bat to backup the original files
5. Started the game with and without your avi's

As far as I know I didn't start the game before applying the add-on

Hmm, thats all correct...

That does'nt matter...


Do you a have a special version of the game (e.g. Gold Edition) or something like that. Perhaps a digital download version?

No just the basic retail version. I'll try to install everything again and see if I have any luck :)

Does this addon work with the Gold Edition?

I have followed the instructions to the letter but the game just loads as regular vanilla. It isn't acknowledging the modifications.

Attached below is how my DtS area appears having attempted to install the mod.

As well as the message that appears when running the backup.bats.

Have I done anything wrong?

Alive and kicking...
