Phoenix1664 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Ok so i hope someone has not posted this already and i missed it. So i have played this game quite a bit since it was re-released and it seemed to be fine but for the last few days i can no longer play as when i start the updated the window opens for me to get to the forum and discord but where the launch button should be it tries checking then stops then closes and i have tried the fixes and nothing seems to work.

Kiwi Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 @Phoenix1664Are you still having this problem or is it now working for you? if so have you made sure you're running the launcher as administrator on your computer and do you have any antivirus that might be blocking any of the .exe or putting them in quarantine?

Kiwi Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I am having this problem as well myself, I tried removing all the files and downloading again it didn't work I believe the devs are working on fixing this so as soon as it works for me I'll get in touch with you. Do you use the BullGuard antivirus as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 What files did you delete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix1664 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 4. If the game does not start at all, delete Documents\BattleForgeFind the "BattleForge" folder in your "Documents" folder (default location at C:\Users\<Your Username>\Documents\BattleForge) and completely delete it. Then, run SkylordsRebornUpdater.exe; the updater will then regenerate a BattleForge folder for you, which should fix this startup issue. Does this not fix your issue? Then check if the new BattleForge folder in your documents is NOT set to Read-Only. To do this, right-click on the Battleforge folder, select Properties and at the very bottom left corner of the window untick the box next to Read-Only so that it stays empty. Now apply these changes to the folder and its contents by pressing OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiki574 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Delete the My Documents/BattleForge folder again and try loading the game in Windowed mode instead of Fullscreen. If that doesn't help, try redownloading the game and updater package and exclusively unpakc them with WinRAR instead of Daemon Tools (as some people do this, it corrupts the files).

Shin Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I have the same issue. Until today the game started correctly, but now only some seconds checking with updater and then it closing. 0 error message or something. Restarted the process more times nothing changed. Deleted the battleforge folder in documents changed nothing, but were a difference which i dont know how works... maybe the part of the problem. Before i deleted the Battleforge folder in documents it had config and keyBindings XML files and tutorials, trade, storybook, save, replays, randommap, loadingscreenaudiostore and Diag folders. After i deleted Battleforge folder and restarted the updater (naturally crashed again) it only had the config XML file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its a noob question, but how can i run the game in windowed mode if i cant start the game? The problem is i dont have the chance to run the game, because the launcher is only checking and close and the play button doesnt appear. If i change the battleforge.exe options to 640x480 and try to start it, then the window become black and after some seconds it close (when i ran my idle game in background it appeared on the middle of the black screen, i dont know why, and it was in 640x480 so Battleforge tried to run with new options). For me the game only started with the launcher so it doesnt changed with this new problem. If i start the launcher/battleforge exe as administrator after they close i get a message "Is the program ran correctly?" or similar without administration mode they just simple close. I unpacked the game with winRAR from the first time. The anitvirus turn off doesnt helped. I guess i will reinstall, maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I dont know how is it possible, but after i restarted my net devices everything started to work. The intresting part of the story is i could wrote threads here while that happened and i dont know how accepted it the site, because this site were the only which appeared. I tried 1st the mediafire and after the google and youtube, but they didnt open while this worked. Now im a little confused i cant believe something like this could happen... But overall im happy i tried to redownload the launcher before the reinstall. Joke of the day. So if somebody have the same issue, then give a try and restart your net devices (turn them off, wait 15-20 seconds and turn on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
