mcleod_69_69_69 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi, I am having problems with my game, It keeps crashing every time I try and load the game. I tried to uninstall the game but it doesn't uninstall fully, I also put the activation code in on the website but it says no game with that code has been activated. The crashing only began after I used the editor. I put Julian Dicks as manager of Wivenhoe and then the game just stopped working. Any help to try uninstall the game fully would be helpful.

jod123 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Can you load a database other than your edited one? How far have you got with uninstalling? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcleod_69_69_69 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I can even get the game running, I click on the icon and it just says an unexpected error occurred (I'm using a Mac). I uninstalled the game apart from the editor files and the archive files. It wont let me do any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Try removing every trace of FM from your computer i.e. every file and folder. Back up your saved games, graphics and all those type of things. Then reinstall and let me know how you get on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcleod_69_69_69 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Already tried that and still get the same message "unexpected error". Will try it again now though just to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcleod_69_69_69 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Did exactly the same thing, just keeps crashing as soon as I try and open it and when I try to uninstall it using the uninstaller is keeps telling me it couldn't delete certain files (pretty much all of them...)

jod123 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 What fm files and folders do you still have on your system? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcleod_69_69_69 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 the uninstallation tool took some of the files and what was left were editor files and archive files, I think. So I dragged them in the trash and deleted them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Have you deleted your cache folder. That is a hidden folder. And have you cleared registry entries? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcleod_69_69_69 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I have had a look in the cache files and can't see anything and I am not sure how to look for the registry entries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 So you are on a Mac? There seem to be a few people with this problem. Have a look at this thread that I have been posting in. Nobody else in there seems to have found the solution yet but hopefully something in there may help you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
