Yesterday, the game worked fine.
Today it won't start.
I have no idea what/if I did.

I get a error message'

file not found
"Sounds\Button OK.wav"
game will now exit.

Any help will be appreciated.
I already tried a reinstall
and moved any mods that may have been there
but no luck.

perplexed..
 
I'm no expert by any stretch, but try making your own .wav file. Cough into your mike in MediaPlayer, save as Button OK.wav, and put that file into the Sounds folder. Or just find any of the windows sound-effects files (search ".wav" or something) and put into your folder. (example: Search--> "ding.wav", open in MediaPlayer, Save As ...Civ3\Sounds\Button OK.wav)
 
well i just ran into the same problem in my own game. bad omen. I play fine, I've loaded my saved game from CD (after a reformat and complete reinstall) and the game reaches the same event at 730 AD every time:

"File Not Found

art\Units\Knight\Knight Death.wav

the game will now exit"


this is curious. the file in the folder is "KnightDeath.wav" and NOT what the error reads: "Knight Death.wav" which tells me that somehow the gamefile is asking for the wrong file. So I just made my own file "Knight Death.wav" and saved it in the units\Knight folder. re-ran the game and at 730 AD the same event happened.

I don't have any Knights. There isn't any reason the KnightDeath.wav file should be loaded. I don't even fight against any knights. Yeah. 730 AD and if there are Knights around (there probably are) I don't see any.

Huhn???

And why is the game asking for "Knight Death.wav" anyway??? What is the space between Knight and Death doing there in the first place? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall the whole game? (my Scenario and saved game are on CD, so that would be a feasible plan)


(edit)
Well, I couldn't get past this error message, so I just uninstalled the whole dam-- er, dang game, uninstalled vanilla Civ3 too, then re-installed Civ3CE and re-loaded my Scenario and game. Now it runs. Cough.
