Problem with Play.exe

03/31/2010 04:44 stryke3wice#1
No point asking on the CO forums, they're never any help. Basically when I use Conquer.exe to open my client, it says "Conquer Online has stopped working". I'm guessing there is something wrong with my play.exe? It's very annoying to keep opening Conquer with autopatch.exe.exe. It also prevents me from trying out bots and stuff if they can't open it normally.

Reinstall conquer.

download the latest patch pack from [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and see if the problem still remains, also i doubt its something wrong with the play.exe when this is just a luncher and got noting to do with the conquer.exe Cept it got the possibility to start it.

Reinstalled, didn't help.
Re-patched, didn't help either :s

I made a new shortcut and added "blacknull" to the end, that works, however it will still prevent me from using programs like CBO since it needs the original Conquer.exe to work. Leveling a ninja is so boring :(.

Still doesn't work. If I open Conquer.exe now from program files, it works because it's a multi client, however if I use play.exe, it crashes still. This is still gonna cause problems for using programs, also sometimes I get unable to read "version.dat" for CBO.

I use Windows 7 now, I still have to use autopatch.exe.exe to open Conquer, otherwise it will just close without saying anything.
