TTW 2.6.3a Released

[Risewild]

The load order seems a bit out of place, that is the only advice I can give at the moment.

[plumjuice]

You have six install logs, please pick one, an incorrect (and since you didnt show the mods you added, incomplete) load order.

Please search before posting. The specific error (does not exist at the server) is listed in the FAQ.

Thanks, and sorry for wasting every ones time.

It's totally true that us lesser mortals should be reading the FAQ's etc, but if your games broken, and you don't have the understanding of regulars and the team, a combination of being stressed out and the sheer volume of information you have available can be a wee bitty overwhelming for some.

'Lesser mortals' trying then asking informed questions based on the information given because it's overwhelming is one thing. Not even bothering to look or help themselves is another entirely. That makes this place alot closer to Nexus than you realize. I'm not accusing anybody in this thread or otherwise, I'm just pointing this out.

The main things that get people riled up are questions that are clearly answered on the Alpha Download page or the FAQ, which are literally linked in the top left of every page on the site.  It is a common courtesy in any internet community to read things labeled "FAQ" and use the search box before posting a question.  Not saying anyone in this thread is causing problems of that sort, but it happens a lot here and everywhere else online  :shrug:

[improvman]

Sad part is that I did read the FAQ, and somehow missed that one.

Im not irritated (I assume symist's comment was directed more at me than any mysterious unknown person)

I used to get irritated (and actually quite snippy) and I got pulled up for it. Now, I say RTFM.

If someone has a problem with being told politely (yes, politely does matter) to RTFM, then more power to them, but they shouldnt be expecting any real help.

This attitude I have (I make no claims about the rest of the team, as they're quite a bit nicer than I am) is not caused by any form of arrogance or self superiority: every single time someone makes a new thread or posts in an unrelated thread about an issue that is already known/discussed/being fixed/fixed, the act of actually searching first becomes less useful, less able, to assist one in self diagnosing and repairing the issue.

If this issue is in the FAQ, it indicates a total unwillingness to make an attempt to fix it oneself. It shows one did not even read the FAQ.

In this instance, the complainant misread the FAQ. Thats fine, it could happen to anyone. Next time, I suggest they do what I did and use the Find function available on most, if not all browsers.

Hello all.

I had this working before I reinstalled my OS, now I have a consistent error while using the provided installer.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

I nuked my system and reinstalled everything. It seems to be working now. The odd part is that as far as I can tell my OS is set exactly as it was, but this time I haven't installed the 2013 C++ Redist or NMM yet.

Still - any ideas?

This error means that a file which should be in the same directory as the installer was missing. Re-extract the installer archive, and make sure that the top folder contains:

• 
  Tale Of Two Wastelands Installer.exe


• 
  ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll


• 
  Logos.Utility.dll

If any of these are missing when you extract them, but you can see them inside of the installer's archive, you may have an antivirus deleting them as soon as they're opened!

Having a problem with the installer. Can't post install log because the error window is too big to go to the bottom of it. But I'm pretty sure that it is the same as the log Zander Tenoki posted in his first comment.

The install log is saved to Documents/My Games/TaleOfTwoWastelands
