Sorry you are having problems. This is very odd. Can you take a screenshot and show us what you see before you start the game.

Have tried uninstalling. Thought i would install main programme and then install individual army packs one at a time and check that one worked before installing the other. Didn't work, on updating main programe both packs loaded and I have the same problem.

Cannot seem to get screenshot into post, but all I get is the game menu and no matter what game i select the game that opens is Gaza 312BC. There are no error messages.

Good job they are digital download, if i had disks they would be used as frisbees

This is a bit odd - what version do you currently have installed?

I had got v 1.6.0, I then downloaded and ran the two army packs. This resulted in my only game availability being Gaza 312BC regardless of which game i selected.

As stated earlier I have uninstalled and started from scratch from disc, unfortunately despite everything working before adding the army packs all I get now with the original disc programme is Gaza 312BC.

I have tried restoring to before i downloaded the army packs but no progress.

Following my last uninstall and reinstall the programme doesn’t go beyond the initial screen and I get the following error message and nothing happens until I select close.

Error Message:-

This is very odd. Something has obviously become corrupt on your PC and unfortunately the only thing to do is remove it all and start again.

I think you need to
* Uninstall the game
* Delete the entire install folder from your PC - usually Program Files\Slitherine\Field of Glory
* Reinstall the game and try it. Check it all works.
* Reinstall an army pack. Check it all works.

Ok - so I've taken everything related to FoG of my computer and installed from the disk v1.1.2. When I select a game, I get the message "Sorry the file 'game title' does not seem to be valid"

Which disk are you trying to install - it sounds like a patch not the full game.

You must install the base game before you try and patch it.
