Having trouble - Graeme - 01-30-2012 Hi Everyone I have the original "Bull Run" by Talonsoft. I install the latest 2 patches BGBR_102.EXE and bgr_dll. The game starts, when I chose a scenario I receive a meesage "error reading from map file: main map. Can anyone help. Ray RE: Having trouble - agmoss99 - 01-31-2012 You may have to download the patch from one of the websites. Basically as I understand it, the official patch from Talonsoft is incompatible with the Upgrade dlll files. So download patch again; install; check it works; install upgrade patch and check again. Alternatively if you are trying to run the original Talonsoft game on Win7/Vista, you can't - you'll have to buy the game again at Matrix. That's my best guess as to what the problem is. Unless you have modified any files or downloaded any mods. RE: Having trouble - Graeme - 02-01-2012 Hi Agmoss99 Thanks for the advice Ray RE: Having trouble - Weasel - 06-15-2012 (01-31-2012, 11:21 PM)agmoss99 Wrote: Alternatively if you are trying to run the original Talonsoft game on Win7/Vista, you can't - you'll have to buy the game again at Matrix. I have the old 16bit versions and wanted to play them again this week but they wouldn't run. I installed the XP mode virtual pc from Microsoft and was able to install all of the games. I then installed the 32bit patches from the ACW website and copied the game folders into my normal drive from the "virtual" drive, they now work fine under windows 7. A real pain in the butt, but it is better then buying the games twice. |
