I found various workarounds, none of which worked for us, until I found a fix that led to me going into the MSConfig file and telling Vista to only load 3 of 4GB of RAM. I discovered that not only was I NOT the only person with this problem, but it was a very well known problem with trying to play FoC on a Vista system with more than 3GB of RAM.
We installed both the game & the xpac on my PC and they ran just fine, but then I have XP, so while my boy played on my PC I spent most of the evening on his PC looking online for a fix.
#Star wars empire at war re Patch
I tried to apply the patch and again saw "FoC is not installed". I reinstalled FoC and tried to run it again, with the same problem. This was with the game installed in the default folder, and yet the official patch from LucasArts themselves claimed the game was not installed. I even copied the Patch's EXE file into the default FoC folder and ran it, and it still insisted it couldn't find the game. I found a patch on LucasArts' website but when I attempted to run this patch it claimed FoC was not installed.
We got home and installed the game and Empire at War ran just fine, but the boy wanted to play the Forces of Corruption, as that was what he'd played at his cousin's house, so we hit Play on the Launcher and.his screen went black, and stayed black.įortunately his system didn't actually lock up so we were able to Alt-Tab back to his desktop where we found an Exception! Error box that told us pretty much nothing at all, other than that something had gone wrong. We found it on here for $20 but when the local Best Buy had it for the same price we bought it from there instead. My 9 y/old son played Empire at War at his cousin's house over Christmas and begged me to buy it for him when he got home.
