The installation took a while for me cause the steam need to update its platform first which took me about 1 hour or so (some internet problem). but i cant remember got the "failed to run install script". After past thru the steam update, its a smooth sailing for me.

Yea i have to restart a few time. the steam at first show 0% for half an hour on updating the platform, then when i restart it suddenly show 28% going to 32% then stop again. after few restart it managed to continue from 28% and finished the updating and installation. doh.gif

one question, did any player here experience during the campaign, the game crash out to windows?

Yea, the crashing out to desktop issue is starting to get into my nerve. after updating, my latest save game can't get pass that turn (can't remember the turn number) think is some where around 1722.

Yap, the crash to desktop is really my biggest issue at the moment and completely stopped me in my tracks in enjoying the game.

Yesterday I wanted to start a new campain... thinking of doing again Britain since I enjoyed them but:

- I know they are going to bug out with the Huron or the Inuits at one moment or another.
- AI so far in 99% of the case will not transport troops by ships so will never try to invade UK... so kinda "cheesing" it and not fun

So I started with France but I was really "meh" with it, I played 3-4 turns then left the game to do something else.

It's defeating the purpose of the game to not be able to go through a whole campain... or at least fearing the crashes at any time.

I am sure once the patches are out and stability great the game will keep me busy for a long time, but now I feel cheated to have paid to do beta testing

totally agreed. they should properly test the game out before release. Although no game is perfect / bug free. but this crashing out issue is beyond acceptable standard and i buy the special force edition... doh.gif

My suggestion for you is to hold the purchase of the game since the game currently is basically unplayable. maybe wait till the proper updates is available

funny, i had no encounter with any bugs tat really ruined my gameplay, except the part where u need to move soldiers into a port to chase out the enemy ships occupying it
in fact, i just completed great britain grand campaign 3 hours back, demolishing france, 13th colonies and half of india along the way.
had a general that died at the ripe old age of 90+, leading the charge across 3 continents

how about CTD? none at all during gameplay?

Yar, these battles are really long.
Now my new campain is also crashing to desktop (the "normal" whitescreen then windows shit)

I think I am just not going to touch ETW until they fixed that, it's just a steaming pile of bug right now for me...  mad.gif

before the update i can still play the games, but now even my new campaign also CTD from the start. vmad.gif cry.gif

Nice picture Kianweic  wink.gif

Boon.fong: I am personally hoping big on the patch CA is supposed to release early next week (from their announcements), it seems to be slightly bigger than the one we had last week. If that one does not fix the white-scree-crashes-to-desktop I might just give up on the game and come back to it in few months once they settle down.

yea Gomaz, i sure hope so. i also about to run out off patience on this bug. one question, if i uninstall the game will it be able to reinstall back with this steam already activate the game?
