Empires is not launched after ending FOGII exported battle

Post by Gudadantza »

I am running the GOG version of both games. Into Empire I can export a battle to FOGII and the game is launched fine letting me to fight the battle. When the battle ends I can export the result and FOGII closes itself but Empire is not launched automatically by itself as intended.

I can say that the battle is exported correctly because when I run Empire manually the battle import button is there

What can be happening?

Can you please let us know the various platforms (e.g. Steam/GOG/Slitherine) that each game was purchased from. Generally all you should need to do is run each game once and then it should all work.

Note that using beta and non-beta versions together may cause some confusion for the system.

Cheers

Both games were purchased in GOG, being FOGII the older/former one with 50 hours of play, so obviously It ran at least once. Both are up to date because they were installed via Galaxy.

From Empires the game is exported fine and FOGII is autolaunched fine. Once the battle is finished the game is also exported fine to Empires, FOGII closes itself but Empire does not open itself as intended. But the exported battle is there if I open Empires manually

One more detail but it is not so important to me, maybe it is normal. If I run Empires via Galaxy, after the export and later FOGII opening, the latter is not launched using Galaxy, but as I mentioned it runs and opens itself fine.

Have you ever been involved in a beta test for either game?

No, If I am not wrong The beta versions are not available vía the GOG Galaxy, but I will check it to be sure

Anyways I checked FOGII files via the GOG Galaxy to be safe because I had it already installed for a long time and something could have been corrupted. The result was the same.
But considering that Empires is the game not properly launched after the exporting I guess I has more to do with Empires.

About Empires, it is a new fresh installation, less than a week

I'm going to necro this thread I found from google after having the same issue. Both games bought from GOG, no beta versions. Empires can open FoG2 but FoG2 can't open Empires. I've contacted Slitherine for help, but no response yet. Did you ever find a fix for this?
