Possible solution: Spooky paran. prog. termination

[Darkshade]

If your GhostError.log looks like this:
file: C:\ghostsource\Ghost\win\wininit.cpp line: 87 function: Assert Fired

Spooky paranormal program termination:

Illegal memory read 0xc
The execution address was 0x47593d ref points CritErrStr 0x924e90, OurHWExceptionHandler 0x4b0c90
then the game-path isn't setup correctly in the registry.
Or maybe it looks like this:
Couldn't open file E:\GhostMaster\GhostData\text\english.ut8
Spooky paranormal program termination:

Illegal memory read 0x0
The execution address was 0x453150 ref points CritErrStr 0x924e90, OurHWExceptionHandler 0x4b0c90
then your language isn't setup correctly.

For both cases create a new .txt file with the following content:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Empire Interactive\GhostMaster\1.00.000]
"Install Path"="E:\\GhostMaster"
"Source Path"="E:\\GhostMaster"
"Language"=dword:00000007
"Windwalker"=dword:00000000
Where Install Path and Source Path refers to your game dir (yes, there must be two backslahes \\ ).
Then change the Language dword according to your needs:
9 = english
7 = german
40c = french (not sure)

Save the file as ghost.reg and doubleclick on it.
You'll be asked if you want to add it to your registry.
Confirm that and you'd be ready to play the game properly.

Hi !

After doubleclicking on the ghost.reg file and pressing "yes" to install it into the registry, there appears a message, that it can´t be installed because the ghost.reg file isn´t a registration file ?!?

Maybe you forgot the quotes in some of the lines?

Post your edited .reg so I can tell you.

I had the second error (THe language one)
I did the reg patch no w/ no problems it installed fine
when I went to run the game I get the same error in the same place

"Couldn't open file C:\GhostMaster\GhostData\text\english.ut8"

any Ideas? THe demo ran fine if that helps...all the latest drivers and way above min specs

Well I figured a little work around....kinda weird but....

I installed the demo, in a temp dir, then installed the my full game. I then combined them and used any neccesary full game files as overwrites on the demo. I also edited the demo's English text file and added all the relveant info from the full game's file

I then applied Darkshades reg patch just to be sure and....voila

strange but it works....I should also mention that the game installed and ran fine on my other cpu...so I guess it just had issues with my tower......anyways great game worth the whole $49.99 I dropped for it

Thanks for the suggestion Darkshade
