Solutions
  • Q: Nothing happens when I start the game, i.e. it crashes immediately.
  • Q: When I enable the widescreen resolution the cmd window gets full of red messages.
  • A: You need to install/update '.NET Framework 3.5'. On Windows 7 and later this component installs automatically, but if this didn't happen, follow the steps:

    1. Press 'Windows Logo' + 'R' keys on the keyboard.
    2. Type 'optionalfeatures' in the 'Run' command box and press 'ENTER'.
    3. Check if the '.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)' option is available in it.
    4. If yes, then enable it and then click on 'OK'.
    5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation and restart the computer, if prompted.

  • Q: When I launch the game I get an error: '0xc0000022'.
  • A: You need to do the same steps as in previous Q&A, but instead of the step 3 you need to check 'DirectPlay' under 'Legacy Components'.

  • Q: I have a multiple monitor system and experience problems with enabling the widesceen resolution.
  • A: Enable it through the 'Manual Mode' and enter the resolution of your primary monitor, i.e. the monitor you want to play the game on.

  • Q: I’ve enabled the widescreen resolution but it doesn't seem to work in main menu.
  • A: Custom resolution affects only the gameplay, main menu will be always in 800x600.

  • Q: Why Steam Overlay doesn't show up while playing the game?
  • A: The game uses DirectDraw for graphics rendering. Steam Overlay works only in DirectX games.

  • Q: Is there a way to use the original music instead of the new one?
  • A: The original music is a one 30 minutes music file with fixed order of tracks. Every time you will play the game, you will hear the same tracks in the same order. If your match will be more than 30 minutes, you will not hear music until the match ends. The new music is devoid of these shortcomings.

  • Q: When I play vanilla game or patched, the gameplay stops/freezes, but music still continues to play. It stays like this for about 10-20 seconds then it returns to normal. It happens very often.
  • A: If you have a CD/DVD drive, you need to insert a disk into it, no matter which. For some reason, the game checks for a disc in the optical drive on some system configurations.

  • Q: Why can't I play the Republic campaign in Clone Campaigns?
  • A: Chronologically, the events of the Confederacy campaign lead to the events of the Republic campaign, and as such, you must complete the campaigns in sequence. The Republic campaign will remain locked until you have finished all the missions in the Confederacy campaign.
  • A: But the restriction doesn't generally work, if you load the Confederacy campaign first and then cancel it, the Republic campaign will be unlocked.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_Engine

SWBGS is listed

also to clarify I was a bit wrong since On steam it says the game was developed by Ensemble Studios. In the wikipedia it mentions it was "developed by LucasArts by licensing the Genie game engine from Ensemble Studios."

Does anyone else want to try contacting Disney and Microsoft? I've already tried. Maybe Forgotten Empires, if that's the engine.

also, the game could go open source but theres a problem with that. Years ago the Studio was bought by microsoft and then Shut down by Microsoft. SWBGS is made on the same engine as AOE2 which Microsoft owns.

its probably Disney

I also read that the studio no longer exists. But at this point, I ask, who is taking the money for this game? Whoever it is, they should be able to do so.
It is immoral to sell a game without offering support.
It is widely believed that after 10 years of publication, a game should be considered abandoned software, even if copyright laws say otherwise.
It is my personal opinion that if the studio goes out of business, for the preservation of the art created, it should make its works open source so that they can continue to live on and be improved.

@apprendista - The game dev's studio no longer exists. The game is so old it's incredible it's even still around. Good idea, but realistically it will never happen. =/

I found a notification of a comment mentioning me but I can't find the corresponding message. If you can, rewrite the comment

Has anyone ever thought of suggesting to the game developers that they integrate this patch directly? If it fixes bugs and adds languages, it should be part of the official game!

This mod works wonderfully but I’ve noticed that the Steam and gog versions of the game broke the AI somehow.

Even in a skirmish game they’ll just completely stop doing anything after a while. It is a pretty glaring issue and makes them very uninteresting.

I was wondering if it would be possible for you to fix whatever broke them. It might be beyond what you can fix but I thought I’d ask.

I noticed that my cloud was having difficulty synchronizing the file. To be thorough I ran it through virustotal and effectively Bkav Pro says W32.AIDetectMalware.
Is it possible to make the patch look perfectly clean?
