0.4.0(/1) crashes on launch

[dCK-Ad_Hominem]

Hi,

so I have installed Wars and downloaded the pack for wars from the German TLL server. I checked and it is all in the right place in the explorer. I also tried to repair the build but to no success. The problem is as follows:

When I launch MWLL (Wars version) my screen turns black (as if it was loading the game), but then just stops and does not load even the menu. The task manager says that there has been deteced a problem and that the program (Wars) will be shut down. I have no clue what might be the cause for this. Every other programm is switched off and I am absolutely certain that the version is right (installed Wars and MWLL by default to have no directory problems). Did I have to patch Wars beforehand?

Yes Wars MUST be patched in order to work with MWLL - Version 1.5 is what you are looking for.

Be sure to have Wars patched to v1.5.

If it doesn't work:
Try to copy manually the (example 32bit) the 'mwll.dll' out of the crysis\mods\mwll\bin32wars folder into the crysis\mods\mwll\bin32 folder, prompt to overwrite.

Thank you guys, just one last question. If I patch wars after already having the MWLL files, will it work or do I have to sit through a 3h download marathon again?

Hmm... er... Seraph?

I don't see why, all the MWLL stuff is separate files and patches will just ignore that. Your mod folder and profiles should be untouched.

i agree with Frost

[dCK-Ad_Hominem]

Okay it can launch, but even though I got GSA and Comerade running I can't connect to Crynet... just won't do anything when I hit internet game... Guess I will reinstall Wars and check if I disabled a Gamespy install in Wars itsself....

[SquareSphere }12thVR{]

wait, did you try to connect with just wars yet?  A LOT of people haven't done this step which is needed for MWLL to work.

[dCK-Ad_Hominem]

Okay, stupid me is stupid. After Having started wars for once I now can see the servers. Yet if I want to join them I immediately get "Server authentication failed (3)" as a reply. Is this due to the fact that I copied the MWLL files (which work fine in every other respect) from the directory, killed wars, installed and patched wars and then pasted them back in the mod folder I created via the MWLL 0.4.exe?

Sorry to fail so hard, but I really don't know what I am doing wrong and would like to bypass waiting another 3-4 hours for the download. 

EDIT: The repair function says everything is fine, my current version is 0.4.1.

i'm pretty sure that the Wars keys and Crysis keys are different.  also you may need to reinput your key from the error(3) thing. 

[dCK-Ad_Hominem]

Um, I don't get what you mean exactly. I have got the Crysis Max. Edition. Inside it are 2 key codes. One for vanilla Crysis and one for Warhead. As I tested using the vanilla code for Wars it worked flawlessly. Still there is no other key in there. Crynet recognizes my Acc. and will let me through with regular pw and the like, I just can't connect to any servers.

[SquareSphere }12thVR{]

so you can connect to Wars servers?  I know the keys can become corrupted in the registry sometimes which need to be rep inputed for them to work.

You may have entered the wrong code. Re-entering the key will fix it.

[dCK-Ad_Hominem]

Okay, I have now entered the key from Warhead (after browsing some other fora) and it works. Gotta hate not having a manual in a maximum edition that just brings along 2 keys........

Thank you all for your help, see you in the field.
