<div class="IPBDescription">Unable to launch game or server on Win 7 64bit</div>edit* Sorry I shouldn't say stopped supporting; but rather stopped working.

Looking for verification that the new patch is incompatible with Windows 64bit versions. Currently running Win 7 64bit home premium

The client won't load instantly crashes.

Tried to run the dedicated server and I get this error message in a windows error window:


<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>"The procedure entry point ?SetActiveKey@Console@M4@@QAEXABW4InputKey@2@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library Engine.dll"</div>


I deleted all local content and re-downloaded the game with the same results.


If it is b0rked I'll be looking forward to the next patch ;)

    Runs fine on my Win7 64bit.
    Why did you automatically assume it was that kind of issue?

    More like hoping that was the issue. It was working fine until I downloaded the patch. Now neither client nor the server work. The error code is so bizarre I couldn't logically come up with a better reason for it not to work.


    Thanks though. Now I know to keep looking for the cause.

    Nope, because I'm too embarrassed by what I did to cause it.

    I had the editor program open working on a map which must use the Engine.dll. So when I used steam to delete all local content so I could re-install of course I still had the editor open and therefore Steam couldn't delete the file and couldn't re-download it again....


    Everyone LOL at me and I'll go skulk in a corner.

    So... uninstall and reinstall the game again without the editor open?
