Hi,

starting a single player game, regardless of the chosen option, raises the following error after the game switches to a nebula background:

Der Typ System.Windows.NameScope in der Assembly WindowsBase, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 konnte nicht geladen werden.

bei System.Windows.FrameworkElement.OnPropertyChanged(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
bei System.Windows.DependencyObject.NotifyPropertyChange(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args)
[...]

as you can see my system is german; the first line says: "The type System.Windows.... in assembly Windowsbase, ... could not be loaded"

I have Windows Vista 64 with .NET 3.5 (no language pack)

Can anyone suggest any solution to this problem?

Greetings

Hello,

Please install the .NET Framework v3.5 SP1 Beta. I did not expect that this would be required for the latest Supremacy release, but it appears that Microsoft broke compatibility.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi!

I did the installation from your link and still gettin the same error message:

I am having the same problem, at the nebula screen I get an error, the text of which is below. This is the first time I have downloaded the game and I was sure to download the .NET Framework v3.5 SP1 Beta file first. Any suggestions? The game looks AMAZING from what I have seen from the site, and I really want to play!!

@utman2003: The only explanation I can come up with for this issue is if the .NET 3.5 SP1 Beta install failed. Are you sure the install completed successfully? The last screen of the setup program might have indicated failure without actually showing an error dialog.

It said it installed successfully, and shows up in program files and the remove program menu. I was sure uninstall all previous versions beforing installing it as well.

I uninstalled everything and triedagain twice, and then once on my laptop computer, but had the exact same error even on the laptop, it will go to the nubula screen then the exception occurs with the same error text. I am stumped too.

Mike, the last part of the error message refers to places on YOUR computer - is that normal, since it's installed on utman's computer, not yours?

That line refers to the exact location of the source code in which the error originated (the file and the actual line number). The location of the source code can only be known for the computer on which the game was compiled (which is, you guessed it, my computer). So yes, this is perfectly normal.

I currently have the exact same problem. I have The .net framework and reinstalled it already. I'll try some stuff to see if I can't get it working and will post feedback if successful (really want to play this game :p)

I fixed the problem by uninstalling the .Net 3.5 SP1 Client and downloading/installing the full version rather than the bootstrapper download as linked above.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

The download is 230 MB, but it did fix the problem for me.

The full download links are in the Supremacy Pre-release download thread. I encountered problems with the "bootstrapper" version a while ago when Mike first made it a requirement. I guess we forgot to update the link here.

I'm glad you got it working again. If you have any other problems let us know.
