I am having trouble with DLC 16

[Kaed1234]

I am very late to the game so this is the first DLC I have done. My unpatched game works fine ;however, when I put the DLC files in my academagia file it is not fine. These are my steps to failure.

1. Open academagia file.

2. Open DLC file.

3. Copy all of the little files in DLC file to academagia file.

4. Computer asks me "overwrite or skip" and I believing that I am following the DLC topics directions overwrite the files.

5. Try to open academagia application file.

6. Get academagia has stopped working message

7. Click run as administer on it

8. Get same message as before

9. Cry in a corner.

 

Please help me. My Net is version 4.0 or above. I am on Windows 8 is that the problem? I eagerly await a reply.

This is an odd one- we haven't heard of an issue where the base works, but the DLC do not!

 

The first thing to try is to navigate to C:\ProgramData\Academagia and delete the cache you find there. ProgramData may be a hidden directory, so you might have to turn it on to make it visible.

 

Let's see how that does first!

[Schwarzbart]

C:\ProgramData\Academagia for Windows 7/10 and C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Academagia for Windows XP

I think it's ProgramData for 8, too, although I can't confirm- I no longer have an installation!

It is C:\ProgramData\Academagia for me on Window 8.1

[Kaed1234]

Help it did not work. I deleted the cache and it still failed. When I undid the copy/paste/overwrite thing. It worked so the only conclusion I as a computer illiterate person can come to is that it is DLC 16 fault somehow.

[Metis]

My guess is that you installed DLC 16 in the wrong location, and it's ended up completely breaking everything. If, like you said, the game itself won't even start anymore even after clearing the cache there's definitely something wrong with the files, I think. Can you navigate to C:\ProgramData\Academagia (mind that I'm on Windows 7, so the directory might be different for you, also it's a hidden folder so you might have to make it visible first) and see if you can find a textfile named Academagia.log? If you find it than scan it for [error] lines, and copy/paste those errors here. If there's like a thousand [info] lines, BTW, just ignore them, just the [error] lines are important in this case.

[Legate of Mineta]

Or, you can delete the log file and simply restart Academagia to see what the error is without the worry of too many lines.

 

I definitely agree with Metis however- you may want to delete your files and reinstall, as it sounds as though something has gone wrong with the application of the patch.

Ok do you want this?

[Kaed1234]

I tried to only get one of each kind. Thank you anyone who looks at it.

[Legate of Mineta]

Kaed1234;

 

I would definitely recommend reinstalling. Those errors are very surprising!

[Kaed1234]

So I clicked remove academagia from the install program. What do I do now?

[Legate of Mineta]

Kaed1234;

 

Well, I would suggest removing the directory, too. Then, reinstall using the client from the place you purchased it at. Finally, installing the latest DLC.

 

Then, try running it with administrator privilege, and we'll see!

[Kaed1234]

I bought it from the buy from us thing you guys have... what do I do

[Legate of Mineta]

Kaed1234;

 

Well, you would download and install the same way- the e-mail sent to you should contain a link. Download that and run that, just as you did before.

 

Likewise, be sure to unpack the latest DLC directly into the Academagia folder, overwriting any conflicts.

 

And I imagine that you have no cache folder, but please do delete it before you try running the game if it still exists!

[Kaed1234]

I am such a loser. Is there anyway to recover the email sent to you?

[Legate of Mineta]

Kaed1234;

 

Hmm- I am sure that there is, although you will need to contact BMT Micro. I believe you'll need the e-mail address you originally purchased it with, but they should be able to assist you.

[Kaed1234]

This solved my problem thank you.

[Legate of Mineta]

Perfect.
