Game runs only in background

Post by McLeoudX »

After a long time of dis interest (4months) I started the game a few days ago to continue the fight.
But only the the starter started correct.
The game itself was only as task in the background to see (in task manager)!
And it seems, that something with steam is wrong, but I couldn't get it out.


Check the OPTIONS.TXT file in My Documents/My Games/
BBCBA. <--- could not be found!
E:\Users\name\My Games\BA2 <--- this my path.

The options file you include is not from BA. You do need to go to the correct folder (which will be Documents/My Games/BBCBA - where Documents is the link from the left side of your explorer window, or alternatively C:/Users/yourname/Documents/My Games/BBCBA). If this does not exist it means that something is killing off the game before it even manages to start. Please confirm whether the folder exists.

Cheers

Hi Pip!

I have searched for this folder, but it doesn't exist in the whole user-directory and all of it it's under folders!
The only one is the BA2 (not BA) folder!
And I don't know who or what has killed it (because I know, I'm the only one, who uses this PC).
And as I just for fun renamed it (the BA2) to BBCBA - The game didn't start, but it automatically renewed (downloaded it) the old folder named "BA2" !
Perhaps am I in the wrong support forum ?
Because you talk from BA (like Battle Academy) and I talk from BA2 = Battle Academy 2 : Battle of Kursk !
Greetings !

If you are playing BA2 then the folder will indeed be named BA2. You posted in the Battle Academy forum, rather than the BA2 forum.
