english civil war

[bones65]

Hi, I've bought 'English civil war' ..
I get 'critical error, Profiler,DLog: Error Accessing file. Sorry, the application will quit.

Most probably this error occurred because your user account has not write access to the program directory. Please run the game with administrator rights. '

i'm a panzercorps player, trying my best to make headway with this pretty involved (to say the least!) game.. and it's shut me out of the tutorial 3 or 4 times! i'm afraid to try the actual game for fear of wasting 30 mins on a turn , to be shut out again ! also clicking on the parliamentary flag in top left of screen doesn't centre the screen on London as it says it will in the tutorial.
i'm pretty useless when it comes to installing games , let alone anything more 'computer involved' .. is there a patch /update for this that I can just download?
on the plus side, it's teaching me English geography and history ..pretty ironic since i'm from England lol!
..

really looking forward to panzercorps 2 btw ..really hope it caters more for multiplayer ..with lots of maps.


cheers

here you go, just a link to support posts posted on Matrix

but does solve any issues with installing / running the game, and you are correct, there a permission one

Try the following:

1. Uninstall the game if you have installed the game in the default installation folder at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Games\English Civil War". If not go to step 3.

2. Reinstall the game, but this time install in a different folder than the default one. Install instead the game in for example "C:\Games\English Civil War".

3. Open the game installation folder, find a file named "Userpath.ini" and delete it.

4. Don't load your previous games, start a new game and check if the crashes are persisting.
