Game isn’t loading

[Mark]

What is the location of the files you looked up earlier. Where you replace the .exe file

[Reshiram666]

Program Files

[Mark]

It cannot be.

 

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

 

The game is thinking your basedirectory is c:\users\mohin\Downloads\

 

Can you try installing the game again and making sure it installs to the Program Files(x86) folder. Run the exe from there and see if works.

[Reshiram666]

OK, I will install it again.

[Reshiram666]

Should I replace the exe with the file from before that gives the error logs?

[Mark]

Yeah wont do any harm

[Mark]

I think this is a admin rights thing

[Reshiram666]

I opened it up, it did not crash, but it still stuck at the load new database. Where do I find this base Directory? The game is currently in the Program Files (x86) though.

[Reshiram666]

It could be because whenever I had tried to install it, it would always tell me that it does not trust and that it should be allowed to run.

[Mark]

Thats normal windows bahaviour. Basically when you run the installer without admin rights on your account it wont install it correctly.

 

Ive attached a quck app I wrote (code below) which will msgbox you the base.

 

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        MsgBox(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory)

    End Sub

 

Just place in game directory and run.

 

Can you check and make sure there is not a game directory in your downloads folder too.

[Reshiram666]

What do you mean by game directory? Where is that?

[Mark]

Where the exe file is and all those others files. Its the base where the program is based.

[Reshiram666]

It told me my base was C:\Program Files (x86)\The Road 2 Success Game\

[Mark]

When you ran the install did you right click and select as administrator?

 

If this doesnt work ill make a custom exe to spit out where it thinks the database is.

[Mark]

New exe to try if fails. This one will write to the errorlog saying where it thinks the database is and what new db is it creating

[Reshiram666]

When I installed the game, I did not run it as an administrator and I just did but it is still stuck on that screen.

[Mark]

My idea is it is mixed up. If you account does not have admin rights then uninstall and reinstall with admin rights. TO do this, uninstall, delete folder. Then right click the setup and select run as administrator.

 

If that doesnt work

http://www.theroad2success.co.uk/Game/Updates/Files/Road2Success.exe

 

This will write the details in the errorlog.

[Reshiram666]

There is no error log showing up, and it is still stuck at the load new database.

[Reshiram666]

Its ok, I will just find a way. Thanks for staying up so long. I really appreciate the help. I will just reset my computer or something

You dont need to reset your computer. I just tried with a non admin account and worked when put in admin password. There has to be another reason. Let me try one more exe file

[Mark]

Ok try this one

Hi, after being investigating for a while, I noticed that when I try to locate a database, they will not appear because the game is actually looking for .r2s files, could it be the problem? that the game can't find the db? here's a screenshot.

This is just the filter for the file locate.

 

The Exe i have uploaed will write some locations into the errorlog when starting a new game.

[iblamejay]

got this

[Mark]

So was this with the exe I provided above?

[iblamejay]

Yes I replaced it in the game folder

[Mark]

Yes I replaced it in the game folder

 

Wasnt anymore there? Did the text file go further down?

 

Can you now try

I am going to bed now but if you can try this one it might work. I will pick this up again in the morning as its nearly 3am!

To get it to work, all you had to do was use the exe you posted? I’ve tried it on my computer but it’s just stuck at “Loading New Database”

 

[iblamejay]

tried again and got a new one
