I uninstalled WOFF UE from my c:\ drive. Rebooted.

Reinstalled WOFF UE on my d:\ drive. Installed official Music and Skins patches. Installed latest 4.17 patch.

Whenever I try and launch into a mission either in Campaign or Quick Combat, I get the error message below. Tried it 3x now. Ideas, please?

Hi Hellshade, because it will be asked.

Did you follow verbatim the clean install instructions in the FAQ?

Hellshade;

I have experienced the same before. I cannot guarantee this, but I suspect you have a corrupted "ConfigOverrides.xml" file.

I suggest you do a search for this file on your hard drives but first make sure you go into windows explorer, click on the tools menu and then select "Folder Options". On the "View" tab select "show hidden files, folders, and drives".

You may not know it but there is a version of this file stored in your "USER\AppData\Roaming\OBD_Games\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields\" folder.

compare the dates of all the versions you find. You may not have noticed but my Backup utility also captures this file so don't worry if you loose it because you can do a restore using my utility if necessary.

Check things out and let me know what you find.

Best Regards;

P.S. forgot to say that I don't believe that the "USER\AppData\Roaming\OBD_Games\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields\" folder gets flushed during a restore but I am not sure. the dates on the files should confirm this one way or another.

Thanks RW!

I just deleted the profile folder for my WOFF UE data and did another re-installed. WOFF UE 1.0 installed and ran fine. Loading up skins and music now, then mods. That was probably it. Thanks again!

.... Step 5 from the FAQ...

5. Browse to C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\OBD_Games select it then delete it
(be careful to ONLY delete OBD_Games and its contents not anything else in App_Data!). Note you may
need to "show hidden files" as Windows usually hides system folders from the user.
