I decided this weekend to start another campaign in WOFF after a year long gap from playing. When I start up the game however, the screen goes black and the cursor icon appears as the WOFF one usually does but then I get a CTD. I had changed nothing in any files since install over a year ago so it struck me as weird. So I uninstalled as per the instructions on the PDF and reinstalled along with the new patch but still no luck. Has anyone encountered this before or have any recommendations?

Yep I do and I have face that a couple of times, just like you when I do not play Woff X-weeks. Luckely after a complete reinstall, incl the register cleanup, everthing is back. Do not know whats happen, but thats why I always make regulair backups and screenshots.
Here you can download the backup utility http://www.thatoneplease.co/toolsWOFF.html

Thanks for the reply but clean reinstall didn't work for me either. By register do you mean going to AppData/Roaming? If so I've cleaned that out too.

Hi Gorillacakes, sorry to hear you are having issues..

Few general questions.
What version of WOFF ?
What version of Windows?
What Antivirus are you using?
Have you excluded the WOFF directories from Antivirus?
What video card?
What version of video drivers?

Here is a link to a post to get support direct from OBD.

As usual something HAS to have changed for a working program to no longer work. PCs are good at this...

Likely some windows update or other driver/app change along the way, or perhaps Hard drive files are changed by corruption.
Video drivers changed?

Installed DX9 properly as per the FAQ?
There are quite a few troubleshooting tips in the FAQ including back screen. See section 49 for example.
