Hi

I was just wondering i was playing DM since this winter just single player and one day i decided to use the steam account and update. I do have the Collectors edition copy.

So i update My game through steam and install multilayer after and every time i reinstall the game and add updates i can't even play the intro videos it crashes no errors and shuts the game like nothing happens.

My pc Specs
Ati Radeon x1650 pro 512mb
1gb ram
2.4ghz Intel Pentium
80g hd
Sandblaster Audigy live 2
direct x 9.0c

If their anyone that have encountered this please let me know. I can play non updated version but i would love to play more out of my game as multilayer all updated. Even if i have to get the patches from a link instead of steam i would do it.

That is error 1 (from this thread: DARK MESSIAH Installation and Troubleshooting Instructions you should have read).

The clue to this problem is that by the mixed situation Steam/Ubisoft versions, the game has started to expect binkw32.dll on the wrong place (thus also thinking it is missing an ímage). Solution is to copy the dll to that 'wrong place'.
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>THE USER WHO uninstalled the game from Steam, then re-installed (or repaired) from the DVD OUTSIDE STEAM, then manually applied the patches 1.01 and 1.02 (from ubi.com) and gets above error:
find the file binkw32.dll in your
C:\Program Files\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic\mm\bin
folder, and move (or copy and paste) it into the main directory:
C:\Program Files\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.
(If you can't find it, you can also copy it from your own DVD: DMOMMGC\Disk1\Support\arch\bin\binkw32.dll, or download and unzip binkw32.zip, it's the same file.)
Also, remove the following key from Registry.
Click Start > Run... type in:
regedit
click OK.
Navigate to the key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Source\mm]
which you see in the picture below, and highlight it.
Delete the key.


Then you're done.

<LI>THE USER WHO has installed the game from the DVD, then updated through Steam (so it has become a Steam game, it is in the Steam>My Games list and user launches the game from there or from the Steam-DMMM shortcut on desktop) and gets above error:
copy&paste it into your STEAM\SteamApps\*your account*\dark messiah might and magic single player\bin
folder. Then you're done.[/list]
