Falconeer Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hello, last night i had to format my drive and reinstall Windows, due to a harddrive crash.I downloaded the full version (3.011) from this page:http://www.esimgames.com/?page_id=1390 and reinstalled Steal Beasts.Installed the Codemeter software that came with the installer (without plugging in the dongle)Created a shortcut on my desktop, from the file located in Esim Games/SB Pro PE/Release/SBProPEcm.exe and set it to "Run as administrator."If i launch SB, i get a couple of errors:- could not read palette file "CustomColorPalette.bmp" -> press OK- could not read palette file "RandomColorPalette.bmp" -> press OK- could not read palette file "RandomColorPalette_ISO.bmp" -> press OKAnd then it just close back to desktop.How can i fix these errors? This download is the same i used previously and SB ran fine with it (till last night)Regards,Falconeer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyguy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Did you run he installer as Administrator? If not, delete everything and re-install while running the installer as Admin. That may help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconeer Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 That's a good suggestion... I can't remember, but it's not a big deal to try that one Will let you know edit: That didn't work, still got the same errors and doesn't start... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Retro Posted April 29, 2014 Members Share Posted April 29, 2014 Could you see if the file "CustomColorPalette.bmp" (or other file the game is complaining about) actually exists in your filesystem? It should be in 'Esim Games/SB Pro PE/images'.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconeer Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hello Retro,i just checked and the files are missing:(There is a m1 folder (which is empty too), fireballTIS.dds, missileTIS.dds, muzzleflashTIS.dds, ulanIntSrc1.bmp and xPlode1TIS.ddsThe above is all there is in the image folder.Regards,Falconeer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Sean Posted April 30, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 30, 2014 Re download and reinstall from scratch. Make sure your antivirus software is turned off a few minutes while you download and install the software. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Norton was indeed the problem.Thx a lot and happy tanking!Regards,Falconeer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
