EHM crashes when selecting a database for a new game

[The Avenger]

I can't do it,i can't even get the patch to work. It says there is no install directory, what a mess!

[batdad]

DUde. Start all over. It is just copy and paste once you download stuff. Patch will go into game....nothing else does. If it is SI it goes in (patch 3.04). If it is not...you have to extract to a folder (i do it on desktop) and then copy and paste the stuff into the appropriate areas.

There is a read me file attached to virtually every download on this site.

Wow..if I can do it, anyone can.

Error: v1.0.4 langlib..cpp 528

Game Config::Constructor(): Unable to locate the main language database

Wow..if I can do it, anyone can.

That made me giggle

I deleted and uninstalled everything EHM. Re-installed EHM, downloaded Min 4.1b roster update and 3.04 patch, i can't even get past the patch. I followed the link that was in this forum to use.....

[batdad]

Read the directions that come in the read me for the

1. patch.
2. the game itself
3. everything you download.

Other than that I cannot help you. Someone else may come over to your house and do it for you, but it won't be me.

I figure that if old men like CeeBee and I can handle this new fangled 6 year old technology...anyone can.

Okay. Where is your EHM install folder?

Place your database to: (EHM install folder)\data\database\

Patch should automatically load files into the correct folder if you've installed the game correctly using the setup file (456.exe). After that update the game (469.exe).

It asks : choose a program you want to open this file


thats for the patch

It's an .exe file. All that needs to be done is double click on it. If not, then I don't know...

[The Avenger]

Here's the folders currently inside my EHM folder:

data
debug
prefs
saved games
temp
hm1 (non-folder)
readme_eng
readme+fre

No double click, just pick the file open, then it asks me to choose program to open this file

[The Avenger]

READ THE DIRECTIONS.

come on now, no need for this. I did follow and my situation can not be formally fixed but what previously posted.....

[Tasku]

Like I said. If it won't work on double click, I don't know. What comes to mind, maybe your puter has it mixed up with a .zip or .rar file and you need to extract it. But in that case, it's not working as it should, because that's not what the file is. I'm afraid you might be on your own on this. There's no way for an outsider to know what to do with your puter, cause we can't get there and try different things out. You might have to figure it out yourself. Sorry.

[The Avenger]

This is the patch i downloaded

Download: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =82&t=6627

once its done, i can pick open or open with/

it then asks me to choose the program i want to use to open that file

[Tasku]

In the thread for that file here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =82&t=6627 someone has a similar situation, and they just simply add the extension .exe to the file, which makes it work. Maybe that's what you need to do. Try adding ".exe" to the end of the file. Maybe it doesn't know it's an .exe file.

Just shooting blindly here, but you never know...

[batdad]

Yes we know that is the patch. You and every other user of this site has downloaded that patch. And we have it in our game and working.
Now that file you have...has a readme file. I guess either your computer does not like you, or you did not read the patch directions on your own. It should just automatically go into the game as .exe as Tasku just said.

I'm deleting and unistalling every thing again (for the 3rd time)

I will down load the patch from that link 1st

I will install the game

I will download roster update and (move data folder from 4.1b into EHM data folder)

All should be good to go?

[Tasku]

Patch after install. And you should be all set.

[The Avenger]

Patch after install. And you should be all set.

ok, re-installed

clicked patch link, clicked down load

do i want to "open, save, save as or save and open"? those are my options

[The Avenger]

This forum needs a live fourm chat....

[Tasku]

save the patch on your puter and then run it

[nino33]

Here's the folders currently inside my EHM folder:

data
debug
prefs
saved games
temp
hm1 (non-folder)
readme_eng
readme+fre

What a strange collection of folders.....
I've never heard of a folder (or file) titled "debug" before.......or "temp".......and I've never heard of a file named "hm1"



I am running EHM07 using Windows 7, and inside my EHM folder (located at C Drive/Program Files (x86)/Sports Interactive/) I have only two folders, data & manuals. Also visible are the readme files, the changelist (from the patch) and the actual game itself ("File Name" EHM 2007, File Type "Application")

And saved games are not located inside my EHM folder where the game is actually located, my saved games are located in My Documents/Sports interactive/EHM 2007/games

My various databases (such as the Manimal 4.1b database) are located at C Drive/Program Files (x86)/Sports Interactive/data/database.

do i want to "open, save, save as or save and open"? those are my options

For me I'd save it in C Drive/Program Files (x86)/Sports Interactive/data.......then I'd go in and double-cick on it

[Tasku]

I have data, manuals, prefs, saves and temp folder, but no debug, hm1 or readme folders. Also the saves folder is there only because I specifically chose this location thru the game preferences, where the game asks for your saves folder.

Not sure what to think of all those folders though...

Dear Avenger,

It might be good if you begin with stating, as clearly as possible, all the steps you take. What files you are downloading, what do you get when you download them, what files are you trying to open, step by step. I presume we're talking about EHM 2007 and your computer is running some version of MS Windows.

We all here would really like to help, but as of now all we can do is guess. A little more coherence might be helpful.

Like I said. If it won't work on double click, I don't know. What comes to mind, maybe your puter has it mixed up with a .zip or .rar file and you need to extract it. But in that case, it's not working as it should, because that's not what the file is. I'm afraid you might be on your own on this. There's no way for an outsider to know what to do with your puter, cause we can't get there and try different things out. You might have to figure it out yourself. Sorry. :dunno

What the heck is a puter? All I found is "a male turkey" in German. (link)
