I suggest to re-install the demo once more. The file should be present. If this doesn't help, feel free to post again. The full error message will help us, too.

"I really think something is wrong with either Aaron or SEV. If i wouldnt knew it better, i would think he is ignoring his testers. I found so many, many flaws i can hardly believe it."

From the sound of Mephisto's first response, I'd say the logical conclusion is that the beta testers are/were being ignored. Which begs the question, why have beta testers if you're just going to ignore their reports/suggestions?

Sometimes this randomally happens because the file is so large. If you close and restart it will be ok.

Can somebody solve my problem?

I download from 3dgamers and strategy first with and without download accelerator but this problem still exists.

I'm sorry, Goodship, I have no clue how to fix it. Make sure to contact Aaron about this bug.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall a couple of times from 2 different downloads and i still experienced that problem

My System is P3 500 Mhz and 512 MB RAM + Running Win XP SP1 with a GeForce 6200 Graphic Card and the latest DirectX driver Installed

Has there been any concrete indication that MM is fixing these and all the other numerous bugs and the UI before the final version is released?

I'm a bit bummed becuase my dissappointment in SEV has been growing, comensurate with all the hope I had for it in the build up to it's release. Really looking for some omen or sign from above that Aaron is interested in fixing the game to make it playable etc. before release.

Tks,

AMF

Concrete? There has been at least one beta build since the demo. No idea what it fixed or added.

Non-concrete? Check out the SE4 history.txt sometime.
