Help Forum More C3DS Frustration :C    LordBlumiere        1/16/2015 So I went through my agents and such, and everything was working fine (for the most part)... until I tried to insert Protective Tub. When a creature hatched, the game threw up a bunch of errors on how it couldn't find certain files, and eventually crashed. This is becoming intensely irritating; is there any way to fix this? The game runs fine otherwise. --Ash   the1whoscreams   1/16/2015 Are you running the Exodus version of DS?   Air Guitarist kezune     1/16/2015 You might find Amaikokonut's Catalogue testing tool useful. If not, could you post the specific errors? Updated Rehosting Policy[/title]   LordBlumiere     1/16/2015 I am running the Exodus version, and it seems the Catalogue testing tool gave me an error! I'll try reinstalling Exodus in My Documents and see if that helps. --Ash   LordBlumiere     1/17/2015 Reinstalled but unfortunately it seems that DS is now not recognizing that C3 is installed. What should I do? --Ash   Air Guitarist kezune     1/17/2015 I don't have that particular version, so it's hard for me to guess. I have the GoG.com version. :C Have you tried the Remastered Patch? Updated Rehosting Policy[/title]   LordBlumiere     1/17/2015 Exodus is the GoG.com version kezune ;v;/ I tried it, but no dice. --Ash   Code Monkey evolnemesis   1/17/2015 Your original problem just needed you to copy the catalog files for protective tub (i forgot the names, one is like random-name-bits.catalog), from your game install catalog folder into the copy of the catalog folder in 'my documents' that exodus makes. It's pretty painful what you have to do to fix this now that you installed one of the games in another location... If you had it installed before on that machine, or even one of the games, in a different location, you now have bad registry entries pointing to its old folders, and now if you try to move it back, you will have conflicting garbage entries pointing at this new spot... See, the game does not uninstall itself properly, and leaves garbage all over the registry that can stop a re-install from seeing the other game, and also stop all the tools like the genetics kit from seeing the games. The only way to REALLY fix it now is to uninstall it, then go into the registry editor (regedit) and manually delete EVERY SINGLE registry entry with 'gameware', 'creatures', or any of the paths to the game folders that creatures was installed in anywhere in any of the keys (and there are a good number of keys like this, you have to be thorough to find every key that creatures might have added, some are named only with a class-number)... Some will be in user entries, some will be in machine entries... Truthfully, you might even have an easier time just replacing the operating system to fix the registry, lol. Once that's done, then you can do the full install of exodus (both games), make sure you pick the my documents folders to install in, then install the creatures remastered patch, then you SHOULD be set.

"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan   Air Guitarist kezune     1/17/2015 By the way, Exodus was a version of the game that came out before GoG's. GoG.com's version is basically a 'compatibility update' of the original Exodus version, which packaged both games (Creatures 3 and DS). Updated Rehosting Policy[/title]   Senior Wrangler Nutter   1/17/2015 Oh lordy, evolnemesis - I've had to do that registry cleanup. Not fun. Easier than a re-install, though!
