Yet another patch problem.

[Darkdragoness]

So... first I got the d3dx9 error, then after downloading everything I got ANOTHER one -




"This application has failed to start because binkw32.dll was not found. etc etc.."




What the heck is THAT?

[camelwalk]

It would help to say what version of the game you have meaning wheter it is direct2drive etc.

[camelwalk]

By most errors with that file are due to pirated copies of games.

If you don't have a pirated copy. Reinstall the game either from the disc or the legit download site for example steam.

[Darkdragoness]

I don't have a pirated copy... I bought it at Walmart a looong time ago.

I'll try reinstalling and see what happens... *sigh*

Warcraft just released a patch as well and it's also causing more problems than it solved... Must be an epidemic.

After installation,there should be a binkw32.dll file located in the same directory as the Children of the Nile executable (usually "C:\Program Files\Tilted Mill\Children of the Nile" or "C:\Program Files\SEGA\Immortal Cities") -- do you see one there?

[Darkdragoness]

I fixed it --- no idea how, though...

Yes, the file was there, I guess my game just freaked out or something. *shrug*

I have had the sme problems. First of all the version was unknown - but I had the wrong patch, I needed the British one. Don't know why.
Then I had the error message saying a file was missing. Bugger. So I uninstalled the whole programme and started it again.
Thshi time it got as far as the "please wait" screen. And it stopped there, with about 2 mm of progress on the bar.
Anyone else had that? I've no idea what to do now - the computer just freezes. No error messgae, nothing. Just stops.

[Purple Jo]

Me again. I'm downloading another version of Direct X and hope that will solve the problem, although I had thought my version was fairly up to date. Will complain again soon if it doesn't work... if I go quiet you can imagine me happily building pyramids.

[Purple Jo]

Nope, same problems.
Grrr.
Ideas?
