Help, my SEIV Program is choking
Whenever I try to start SEIV, it starts to load and hangs up at 4%. I have to End Program to get it to unlock. Do any computer gurus out there have any suggestions?

Re: Help, my SEIV Program is choking
Make sure Path.txt is set to none.
Move the contents of the Space Empires/temp folder to another place. Don't delete them just yet, see if that fixes it first.
If neither of those work I'd be thinking about reinstalling, unless someone else has an idea.

And I thought I was the only one having such a problem. Glad to know I have company. But why would re-installing help? I mean, you'll have to re-install all of the mods too. I don't see how that would cure anything. |

Well, if the path.txt file is set to none, I would guess the problem is not a mod. Reinstalling would overwrite all the stock files and shouldn't affect the mods at all unless you uninstall first, which I don't suggest without at least trying a reinstall over the top once to see if it works. Of course don't forget to repatch to 1.84 after reinstalling.

Re: Help, my SEIV Program is choking
Uninstalling a program (especially a game) rarely deletes customized files. I don't know about the case of SE4, but I would imagine that Aaron would not be mean and forcibly delete the folder SE4 was installed into if doing so deletes customized files.

Re: Help, my SEIV Program is choking
This is a shot in the dark, but I seem to remember having the same kind of problem.
Make sure you have no cd in your cd drive. See if that helps with the locking up at 4%. I realize that you have fixed it, but in case someone else looks at this thread on a search...

Re: Help, my SEIV Program is choking
Did anybody bother to look at malfador's Troubleshooting page?
Cause the solutions to GW's are listed there, under number 7.
