Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War

Respetite · 07-19-2009, 10:03 AM

Downloaded this old classic for free yesterday, played it for a few hours and it ran absolutely fine. It was made free with help from the U.S Airforce or Marines or something bizarre, with permission from Midway. However, tried playing it today and it comes up with the error;

Critical Softwrap Error -

Host/Module Communication Error. Please contact Softwrap Support (contact details on http://www.softwrap.com)

Tried downloading and installing it again to no avail.

Any clues on this one? Seems bizarre as it was working before.

Cheers!

This error only pops up while playing the game correct?
If so, how long does it take before this error pops up while playing the game?

I read up on this issue, try this:
Uninstall GameMaker 7.0, Delete GameMaker 7.0 folder (if still their)
And delete the Global.sw2 file & Softwrap folder. Reinstall.

You mentioned you reinstalled it, make sure you re download the installer/setup because that might of corrupted while downloading over the internet.

If the problem still persists, I recommend to contact Softwrap Support by emailing them at support@softwrap.com

Let me know the results,
Thanks.

It happens before I load the game, so I'm not sure if its the same issue.

I can't find a file that's called Gamemaker nor global sw2?

Rather confusing

Try Start>Search and type in Gamemaker

If you dont find the folder, then just contact Softwrap at support@softwrap.com

How old is this game? What OS was it made for?
