The above is what I get exactly. Can any one fix this so I can get back to playing the games? OR could I just redownload all the games like when I first bought them, without having to buy them all again?
Maybe Slitherine could send me a disc with all the games on it and I could download it all to my hard drive and get everything working that way? :( :? Okie

This is not a problem with the game installation. This is due to an error in a mod.

You need to delete the MP TT Mod folder:

C:/Users/Steve/Documents/My Games/FieldOFGlory2/Multiplayer//TT_MOD_MP_CUSTUM_BATTLES

That should hopefully fix the issue, and then you can try and redownload the Mod.

There is nothing special about the folder, it is just a normal folder in your documents in

/Documents/My Games/Field of Glory 2/ Multiplayer/

You probably don't need to uninstall/reinstall the game. Uninstalling the game would not delete the contents of the above folder anyway.

Hi Richard,

What has happened here?

Has Okie's download of the mod become corrupted, or have I done something wrong with this file? Surely if something was wrong with the mod everyone would have this issue?

Since when was the mod name spelt CUSTUM anyway, when I last looked it was spelt CUSTOM. Or has Okie merely typed it out wrong?

cheers

Good questions.

I also cannot think of any reason why Okie cannot find the mod to delete it.

I have just been conversing with another player on the Steam forums, who had exactly the same error message.

He reported that the Text1.txt in his version of the TT Mod was totally blank. It should of course have text in it. Which makes me think that the download may have been corrupted. Probably the best thing is to download the mod again.
