Bray Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Well, I've had a lot of trouble with CODWAW. I first bought the game, installed it on my PC (which works fine on XP) then uploaded those files to any of my boxes running Windows 2003 SE. Not one of them worked, always giving me this error: Error During Initialization: Unhandled Exception Caught So, I figured I should upload the entire disc to my machines, and install them there in case there was missing files or directx didn't install or something. Same deal, it pops up that error with any install on any machine (I've tried 3 different servers). I looked around and most people having this error report compatability issues with Vista, which I don't run. They also seem to have problems with sound cards, but I don't see a fix for a server which doesn't have a sound card. I see a lot of hosts offering this game, and no one here seems to have this problem. Any ideas for a fix? Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIS-MOTHER Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Did you patch it to 1.1 and install directX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bray Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yes sir, it's patched and I installed the directx that came with the disc. As a side note, it always asks me to start it in safe mode as well everytime I start the game, maybe that has something to do with it? Thanks for any other ideas you may have.

Bray Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 My gosh, I got it working by updating tcadmin. Go figure, 2 weeks of putzing with it and tcadmin was the issue (actually my stupidity for not updating it first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed3020 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Glad to hear you found a logical solution. You should always keep up to date with the TCAdmin forums, and within your panel itself to see if any new versions have been released. With any major game release there is a good chance there will be an update to TCAdmin to fix this or that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bray Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Wonder if that's why my far cry 2 didn't work either, ug. I'll have to give that a try later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
