Main executable problem
 

Hey!

I bought my game from steam and I can't launch it. I get an error message
like Main executable had an error.

error message:
AppName: mow.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.0 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 01fd99a4

weird that appver is 1.0 since steam says its v1.11.3

please help me fix this problem.

log file tells this.. dont know if it helps

I have the same problem and same log, doesnt work on steam, same goes for original men of war.

have you tried latest multiplayer patch. I can play with that without any problems. Still no single player.

I also foundout that there is no folder for any of my stuff in my games windows folder. Men of war demo has it.

solved it!

So I gave up and thought to myself I could just download trough torrent, I see no moral error since I bought the game. I downloaded russian version and installed, cracked and all that stuff but then it would crash when I tried to load the first mission.
So then I took the redtide.exe file I got from that game folder and pasted it into the redtide steam folder and now it works fine =).

I have this same problem, but I don't know how to download this torrent, and I'm slightly wary of the legal consequences.

I have messaged both the posters on this page?

Can anyone help, please let me know!!!

Validated game file, working properly now.

This was done through steam.
