Hello,

I've just bought Field of Glory 2 Medieval with the first three DLC. I can install everything fine and the game runs after initial install. However, once I've patched it to the newest version, I always get a Script Error at start and the game won't launch.

I've re-installed twice already and it's always the same. Any idea what to do?

The error message is attached.

Thanks for any help!

I've just added the error.log, too.

This means that you have an old version of the file /Data/scripts/Macros.bsf from prior to v1.4.x of the game.

Unless you are using an out of date mod, that means that something has gone wrong with your installation and update.

If you are using a global mod, turn that off.

If not, then you may have installed the game with an old version of the installer. (The updater will only correctly update the game from the previous release version, not from a version earlier than that). You should uninstall the game and reinstall using the latest full installer, FOG2Medieval-SetupRelease-v1.05.06.01.exe. You will find a zipped version of this on the File Downloads page on Field of Glory 2 Medieval on My Page on Slitherine.com.

You do not need to run the updater as well.

Thank you for your quick reply and help. I haven't installed any mods. The problem was indeed that I've downloaded the main game some time ago and therefore the installer wasn't up to date. I didn't think that would be a problem since the patch installed without any problems. But after re-installing with the newest installer everything's working fine as it seems. So thanks again for the quick help!

Glad to hear it.
