Unable to create new games on Windows 10

Post by Satyr »

Not sure if it is the switch to Windows 10 which causes this, but I downloaded the 7.4 database yesterday, it all went well and I could start a new game with this database, but as soon as I hit continue game, the game quits.

The 7.3 databases do not work either... :(

It seems to work ok following my upgrade to Windows 10.

Perhaps try uninstalling and reinstalling the game?

You might have to verify your file cache through the steam launcher. I had to do this for my X-Com Enemy Within game.

Also if its playing the games, another issue could be your Documents folder. Apparently after Windows 10 is installed it grants your user account read only access to your Documents folder. This doesn't happen to everyone, but it did happen to my Music folder. I had to reset the rights.

Hey man, I had the same issue. I had to find the .exe file in the Steam/EHM folder and run it in Windows 8 compatability mode. This fixed it for me.

I have the same problem, but on EHM 2007, just installed the game and copied over some Blueline-databases, but it seems I can't play them. Any ideas?
