Men of War: Assault Squad crashing

[geo686]

Activating it through Steam resolved the problem.
Thanks!

Word for others on this:
The "key code" it wants from your standalone version is the one the game calls
""Multi-player" key, not the one you used to activate the game stand alone (without Steam).

I really wanted this outside of Steam as I bought it but oh well.

Thanks for the help!

After playing in Steam I copied the steam files inside
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Men of War Assault Squad"
and over-wrote the local install in "C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Company\Men of War. Assault Squad" I had and now the local copy plays outside of Steam.

I did NOT copy the mow_assault_squad.exe or the mow_assault_squad_ed.exe since I was sure those were Steam specific. I was correct.

oh man wait... Have you patched by steam and then used steam files for already installed non steam version and it works? Do I understand well? If yes, how your multiplayer works? And what files exactly have you taken from steam aps?

Yes, I activated, downloaded and played briefly by steam and then copied steam files for the already installed non steam version and it works.
I copied/overwrote all files except the "mow_assault_squad.exe" and the mow_assault_squad_ed.exe, since I noticed the files sizes were different I expected Steam version to have a special exe. I guessed right.

I have NOT tried multi-player yet.
As long as you don't uninstall the Steam APPS files you have nothing to lose trying.
The Steam copy still plays in Steam, although I don't play it through Steam now .
