Problems downloading WATG

[rbodleyscott]

I'm having the same problem.

Note: I downloaded v5.1.12 today (02-Jun) from this link http://www.slitherine.com/members/publicDL.asp?gid=651
Is the correct version because I'm Still getting the same problems (does not show up in game, says there is a new version still).

Or do I now have to uninstall the game and re-install with this new "30-May" version in the "members area link"?

You could try z1812z's suggestion above first, otherwise uninstalling and reinstalling as VPaulus advised.

In other words, please try the following:

1. Uninstall the game
2. Download the last game installer file v1.5.12. from the Member's Area
3. Install the game
4. When asked to insert the serial number, please click in the drop down menu "Select a New Product to Install... " and select "Field of Glory II".
Type your "Field of Glory"serial number.
5. Click in the button "Check Serial".
You should see then the name "Field of Glory" being added to the list of games displayed in the box named "Setup as detected a valid serial number for:".
6. Do the same in step 4 and 5 for unlocking all your other DLCs.
7. Then click on the "Next" button in order to proceed with the installation of the base game and your DLCs.

Note that you want the installer (not the updater) from here:

The /Documents/MyGames/FieldOfGlory2 folder is not part of the game build, and does not come from STEAM. You should not delete it when you update or reinstall the game if you want your previous options to be applied, or if you want to be able to access your old saved games, or previously downloaded user scenarios or mods, because it is where those things are stored. If it isn’t there at all, the game should create it automatically, I am not sure why it hasn't done so - I suspected something like a Firewall or Antivirus might be preventing the game from creating it.

If you have already tried it without any Firewall or Antivirus, you should check out the folder permissions on your machine, as that might be the reason the game has not succeeded in creating the folder.

You could also manually create the folder, which might (or might not) allow the game to access it.

C:\Users\[you]\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2

Note that it is "My Games" and not "MyGames"

On some older versions of Windows it will be "My Documents" rather than "Documents".

I am at the limit of my expertise here, so I recommend emailing support@Slitherine.co.uk for further technical help.

Meanwhile I will ask PipFromSlitherine if he can figure it out.

Dear Rbodleyscott,
thank you very much for your advice!

But it hasn't helped to solve this problem.

Of course, I have the folder with .../Documents/My Games/...with currently "Commander The Great War", "MareNostrvm", "PSCAMP" and "Strategic Command WWII - World at War" in it. But no FieldOfGlory2 !!!

Also I have the same PC with all the software and hardware, on what I have successfully played FoG2 on the 29.05.2019 (I couldn't wait for WATG ).

The only problem is with the absence of C:\Users\[you]\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2 folder.

Today I have played several battles in the Viking campaign. But on the middle of campaign I tried to save my progress => no possibility to save the game. I think this is due to the absence of the ...\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\... on my PC.

I tried to copy all the subfolders from ...\Documents\My Games\PSCAMP\..., but FoG2 cannot accept it.

Wherefrom can I get the ...\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2 folder to my PC, if this folder is not in the Steam version of FoG2?

As RBS says, the folder is created by the game when you run it. If that is failing to happen the most likely causes are (1) an AV program that is running or (2) something has altered the permissions of the folder and that prevents the game from creating the folder. I just did a fresh install and removed the folder and it was created as intended, so the base functionality is working correctly.

You might try this https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/hel ... iles-and-f

this will allow you to check the ownership of the folders at issue (specifically My Games). Is it possible that you have run a game recently in Admin mode which could have messed with the permissions?

Cheers
