Problem with the 3.04 patch

Hey guys, yes I've used the search function but none of the topics that I found were able to solve my problem. I bought EHM 2007 today, and the 3.01 version of the game worked when I had the demo version. After buying the game, I downloaded the 3.04 patch for mac and I installed it. So I double click the EHM 2007 application icon, and the game doesn't start. I get a debug window:

It lasts for 3-5 seconds and then disappears, and fails to start up the game. It seems to me that the errors in the debugging window all have to do with the Image Base/.png files. Help? :dunno:

I'm not 100% certain. But i think that it is something to do with your skin. Make a back up of your folder and try downloading a new skin and making that the default skin.

Again make sure you back up your folder, in case i'm wrong. :-D

I installed a new skin into the skin folder, but when I open up NHL EHM 2007 it won't start the game (like before) but I don't get the big debug window. My setup is like this, so just tell me if I did something wrong:

Try changing the names seventy-three(.col, .skn) to ehm_default(.col, .skn).

Can't say I've ever seen that one reported before...

Did you add any kind of add-ons to your game, or was this with a fresh install?

Maybe it was one of those typical glitched-installs, that just needed to be redone.


Good to see you got it going now, though! :thup:

This reminds me the classical IT Crowd line: "Have you tried turning it off and on? Yes? And have you tried turning it off and on again? No? So pleas try it." :-D
