Game crashes online [WIN8.1]
Posted: Mon May 11, 2015 8:10 pm
I'm trying to play with a friend via direct connection. As soon as i click to Start Game, my game crashes to the desktop with a message saying 'EmpireEarth.exe stopped working.'
I am using Windows 8.1 64bit. Both our games are updated to 2.0 + NeoEE's patch. Possible solutions i have tried:
Compatibility Mode - Win95 : It makes the game crash on start-up.
Compatibilty Mode - Win98/ME/XP/Vista: Game freezes if i try to change any settings. Crashes on Start Game aswell.
Compatibility Mode - Win7
Tried with all resolutions, they didn't fix.
Disabled/Enabled V-Sync.
Changed 3D Acceleration types.
I may have tried other solutions, but i can't remember them now.
Here's the catch:
The game used to work before, in the same system. It didn't work at first, but then i did some of the steps above and it started working.
My friend started having some issues when installing the game and applying the patches, so i decided to do a clean re-install to help him troubleshoot his problem. Since then, i haven't been able to play online again.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Thank you.
