I cant boot my game anymore or AKA shoot myself in the foot.

[NickalusFlemmal]

I got into to trouble recording some game play with OSB and i ended up opening the game twice and could not close the 2 game sessions and ended up rebooting me pc. When I tried to start up HOI3 it gives me 2 errors at "Loading Database". I thought I corrupted a game file so I uninstalled from Steam and reinstalled the game. That did not help I still get the same error. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ 10 but that did not help. The odd thing is that there is a Hoi3game.exe and it works fine the 3.05 version but the hoi3_tfh.exe does not give that same error which is the 4.02 i am guessing.

First error box- File exception: Exception in: virtualfilesystem.ccp line:624 Description: the system cannot find the file specificied.

Second error box- Runtime Error! program,,,86)Steam\SteamApps\common\Hearts of Iron 3\Hoi3_tfh.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an ususual way. Please contact application's support tema for more information.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Did you contact the application's support team for more information?

No I thought the game being so old they would not want to waste time on my problem.

This is the solution to the first problem.

SOLUTION


Finally got it, maybe you can sticky this somewhere...


First, I founded this thread : http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum....cpp-line-624.-SOLUTION&highlight=virtualfile


Then I followed the solution described at the end of that thread, e.g. deleting the map cache folder (content of it, not the folder itself).


The trick is, with the new TFH, under STEAM, you have now 2 Map Cache Folders... So you have to delete the content in both of them for this to work !!!


The usual one...

(1) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\hearts of iron 3\map\cache

and this new one...

(2) C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III\map\cache


If you forget to clean any one of the two (like I did for like an hour or so, making me wondering if death was a preferable ending to this than living life wihtout HoI3), you will still get that popup "popup: "Virtualfilesystem.cpp, line; 624. Description; the system cannot found file". If you've done it right, you should get your game back on track.


Last thing: don't forget to run your game twice (load-quit-load), to get the right checksum...
