Thanks to SevenFiftySix for the fix that made the game work.

It's probably a resolution issue. You'll need to manually edit those settinhg in your PC registry files.

Run regedit (type regedit in your start menu's search bar, it'll pop up)
Go to HKey Current User\Software\Petroglyph\StarWars FOC\Profile\Profile0
Scroll down a bit and change the screen height/width/refresh rate to something else. You'll probably want to make it match whatever your graphics card is running by default.

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've played EaW and decided to give it a try again after all these years.

I'm having an issue in both EAW and FOC, where when I click the Exit Game button the screen will go black and I wont be able to do anything. I'm forced to press the power button on my computer and restart it.

I also get the same issue when trying to click a mod to enable it from the in-game Mods menu.

Not sure what could be causing this, any help would be appreciated.

My PC Specs:

Windows 10 (64 bit)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
RAM 16GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970

My Monitor Specs:

Asus ROG PG248Q (G-SYNC Capable)
1920x1080 Resolution
180Hz Refresh Rate

I've tried verifying the game cache but the 2 files that failed to validate were the mastertextfile_english.dat file and GAMECONSTANTS.xml file for FOC.

The black screen issue upon exit still remains, and now I noticed missing names for some added units from mods I have, since the mastertextfile was changed it no longer contains their names. Oh well...

The game used to work fine before on this computer, it might have been on Windows 8 though, but I assume Windows 10 should be working fine.

Any help would be appreciated.
