Can't launch the ESOC Patch

Post by Ignissa »

Hello. Decided to return to the game after a few years but it fails to start for some reason.

- Operating system: Windows 10 Enterprise N 64-bit
- Patch version: 5.0.0.2
- How did you obtain the latest version of the patch: Ran the installer
- The issue: When I launch the ESOC patch client, the game goes into the loading screen for a few seconds and then just closes. I installed the ESOC patch and the maps. Tried uninstalling and running without the maps installed, same issue. Reinstalled .NET and Visual C++ 2013 redistributable, still the same issue.
- The exact text of any error messages you have encountered: No error messages.
- Is the regular RE patch still working? Yes working perfectly on steam.

Would really appreciate some help.

I don't remember exactly but deleting some files (which are created again by the game), did the trick for me. I'll try find it and post it soon.

Got it working by running it from the game directory file age3f.exe, I feel dumb.
