Hi,

I have updated Men of War: Assault Squad to the above patchs, no mods have been installed, now every time I start the game I get the following error in my log file:-

Had been working great up until the update.. any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

mg34_dot2 doesnt exist in stock game of mowas, so u either have some modded files under \resource\ or u have a mod thats loaded through options.set in your profile folder under my documents\my games\ and when it tries to load it crashes.

However just to be sure make sure you are using correct patch because there are 2 patches for v2.05.13. one is for normal version and another for goty version. U will notice 2 different 2.05.13 patches there http://www.1cfiles.com/MoWAS_patch/

However, your issue looks more like you have added modified files under your root game folders or u have mod still being loaded, if thats the case you can edit options.set to make sure no mods are loaded. otherwise you may have to reinstall game.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me, nope, nothing loaded in my options file.. so I guess a re-install...

Thanks though...

Hello,

I seem to have the same problem after 2.05.13 update.

Cannot link not game_entity object (egameentityplacer.cpp, 696)
------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>>> main
>>>>> mp.thread_single.exec
>>>> thread.exec
>>> clockThreadnExecute
>> scene:init
> spawn dot_desert4{0x20fa}

( I checked the log and it's the same "can't spawn entity mg34_dot2 (eentityspawn.cpp, 171)" )

This happens when loading Iwo Jima mission. And it doesn't matter whether it's SP or MP skirmish. I tried opening it via editor too and the same thing happens.

I tried deleting my profile in My Documents, completely reinstalling the game. Also I have never installed a mod. I hope there is a way to fix it.

again mg34_dot2 doesnt exist in stock mowas (no mods). However make sure you used correct patch for your game. There are 2 patches one is for normal edition and another for GOTY edition. But I already stated this before. http://www.1cfiles.com/MoWAS_patch/

However, again mg34_dot2 doesnt exist in stock game nor iwo jima scripts or map file so either u have bad game version, badly patched or have some mods left over or modified game files maybe something under resource\ folder. Which patch did you use on that site?

[DavidT]

Since it's not GOTY edition, I used "mow-as-update-setup-en-2.05.13-full.zip".

Awkward. I don't know. I'll try reinstalling it again and see how it goes without a patch.

EDIT #01: Ok, so I reinstalled and ran it without patching and everything works fine. But once I update it to 2.05.13. Same thing happens. Don't know. xD I'll see how it runs on previous versions.

When you reinstall, VERIFY all the previous files are gone after you uninstall, manully go into the folder where mowas was installed and make sure all the files are gone, then go to my documents\my games \ men of war assault squad and delete everything there. Then reinstall the game. Where did you buy your game from? The retail patch is not the issue because you 2 are the only ones that have problems patching while masses of people who have retail and also used patch are fine. So either some files are left over even when you reinstall or your operating system having problems when running the patcher, but the error is weird because as I said official game doesnt have that mg entity in it, it exists in men of war and other men of war games but not assault squad, mabye the patch applies itself to wrong game? lol just taking guess stabs here, you could try registering your game with steam if you can use steam at all then steam would auto update you.
