Windows 10

[Galaad]

you got to go to Search and type in cmd or command prompt there.

I gave no greater wish than to go back to Win 7 or even better XP, but it ain't easy on a laptop, with no cd/dvd drive.. (just buy a portable DVD drive.. Sure, who expects it to be standard anway, surely they soon produce laptops without incorporated screen.. Sigh

Sorry I missed that part, you can also install from USB.

[Karmakeld]

I know, just being annoyed that the drive is missing, but thats a long story..

[Panda Tar]

Ok, that image has now burned my retina.

Personally I find nothing more annoying than being forced to use an OS you don't want to, especially when it's a piece of **** like win8/10. It's worth the bother to USB install IMO.

I get it some/many of you are not happy with windows 10 and you have had your say. This thread is about getting help with Windows 10 issues; specifically the Equilibris editor. Rolling back to an earlier O/S is not happening; your advice for others may be the best solution; so thank you for that input. I would like to return to my campaign and finish it, but I can't until the issue is resolved. I have delayed so long I can happily just leave it undone. Unfortunately I have had little luck with the H-7 editor and do not have a functioning version (another thread for the H-7 editor please). So please let's keep the thread on topic as getting the Equilibris editor working is the only option for me, and I don't want to weed through pointless posts. I will not let this thread become hijacked by a bashing of Microsoft or Windows 10; even if deserved and perhaps they do deserve it; do it in another thread. If this become hijacked. It will be closed.

1. Go to the folder <System disk>:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue.
2. Find in this folder sybfolder such as "c_e_mod..."
3. Add this sybfolder to archive (zip, rar).
4. If achive size less 100Mb, download this archive to the Internet and give me link.

Well I found the directory when trying windows 10 and the editor on my newer laptop; but it was empty without a ReportQueue. The new event log read.

Faulting application name: c_e_mod.exe, version: 3.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x3e025dba

Probably of not more help; if the WER folder populates I will let you know.

[Galaad]

Sure thing sorry about that, I was through anyway.

I read back in the earlier pages that you say you have problems using virtual machines? For old games there shouldn't be any issue, I suggest VMWARE WORKSTATION, it's very good, I could even run H5 with it so no doubt it works for Equilibris. User-friendly and customizable so you can adjust settings for your needs. If you really want to have it work natively on win10 I'm afraid I can't help more for reason that seems awfully clear.

Anyway good luck.

[jeff]

It's ok and I agree with much that you said, and you had the right to say it. I am just very frustrated that WoW, the WoW editor and Equilibris are running, but I need the Equilibris editor to run. If someday I have the time I may take your suggestion. Perhaps SP1 will accidently fix the problem.

[jeff]

Ok I found a wer report hopefully this will help

[Koni]

hi jeff, just want to tell you that I feel with you, may you find a solution for the problem in 2016! Best wishes!!

[Karmakeld]

Now that's a good idea for a new years resolution find a way to make Equilibris editor run on win 10. Anyway I second Koni's post.
@PandaTar, have you tried running the equi editor on win 10?

[Panda Tar]

Nope, Karmakeld. I didn't touch much my notebook the last days. I was off in a sort of small vacations with my family on a neighboring town, and my boss died in the meantime. So, I'll be a bit off the records when it comes to gaming for a while as we settle things here regarding work.

As soon as I get back to H4, I'll see how editor fares.

[Karmakeld]

Ouw sorry to hear. I shalln't bother asking you about yoyr playtesting progress then..

[Panda Tar]

I'll keep you posted, don't you worry. But I don't have an exact schedule as for now.

Is work the Equilibris editor, if Windows loading in safe mode?

[jeff]

No, the editor showed the same error message.

[Max_HMMI]

jeff
Well, another 2 variants:
1. Try to use DxWnd programm.
2. Try to use the affinity of a Campagn Editor.

[Dalai]

it ain't easy on a laptop, with no cd/dvd drive.. (just buy a portable DVD drive.. Sure, who expects it to be standard anway, surely they soon produce laptops without incorporated screen.. Sigh

Come on, Win7 is very easy to install using thumb drive. You don't need portable DVD drive for this. Just google it.

[Karmakeld]

I'm no wiz when it comes to computer solutions, so I thank you for that useful advise, Dalai. Also welcome back, it's great to once again see you're posting.

[Dalai]

Thanks, Karmakeld. I see that I missed a lot, now it's time to catch up.
