Problem with starting a game
« on: October 17, 2010, 06:21:33 pm »
If I click "Host new Campaign", the screen goes black, but the music still plays. If I open the task manager (I'm on Windows Vista) It gives me the error below. If I close the game window I get no error.

Never mind! Apparently I enabled the new expansion when I didn't have it ><. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

Actually, this is still a very important report, as enabling an expansion shouldn't crash the game. Simply put it in TRIAL mode.
