1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired

[Top Cat]

Well it never reacquires it and my version doesnt match to play online. Whats the problem?

[Damian]

It's always at 1

Local Disk/User/Your Name/AppData/Roaming/The Creative Assembly/Napoleon/scripts. Then delete everything in their except the preferences script.

Dont delete your preferences script.

Guys, could you please assist… i’ve Napoleon from long time ago and i’d really love to play it but it doesn’t open! When I’m trying to open it seems that will open but just this’s not happening without any errors appear! However, I checked “Verify integrity of game files” and found that “1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired” I don’t know if this is the reason but anyway, I didn’t get how to solve this issue.
(Note: all total war games working smoothly except this one)

Same deal here. 1 file failed to validate, All other TW games work on my new machine.

Yeah I'm having the same issue. "installscript.vdf" in the steamapps/common/Napoleon Total War folder is always found to have a "Validation: 1 chunks corrupt of 1 total in file "installscript.vdf" when I validate the game files. I cannot join most multiplayer lobbies; almost for every single host it says "No response from host," but for some very rare hosts I can join their games without any trouble.

Ok...on my system which is a Alienware R13 with many of the fixins and I followed the instruction given above--no "AppData/Roaming/The Creative Assembly" anywhere to be seen on mine. So, this doesn't work for me. Any other ideas?

Hi guys, didn't know this post was still alive, I will try and help if I can.

@Eltahawy22 @john.chorm @|*D*F*| RevanofKorriban. If you guys upgraded to a 12th Gen Intel CPU's, Napoleon total war will not work for you anymore, apparently it has problem running the game. Also have any of you installed mods in the past?

@ericdelker. If you do not see AppData then it is hidden, follow the steps below to make it unbidden.

You can view the AppData folder manually by going into your Users folder, which is there in the C drive. In my case, the path is C:\Users\Your Name.

Next, go to the "View" tab at the top and check the "Hidden items" checkbox.

I hope this helps guys :)

Ok...you got me much closer. I found the proper pathway-scripts, but when I opened the scripts there's nothing in their-it's empty. Any idea how I might find where that's at?

[ericdelker]

Also, I did have mods on my previous system darth mod for this game. Will it run if we can figure out even where to find the script data if this is a gen12, regardless? If it could work on earlier systmes why not a gen12 system, just curious? Will they ever update the game for gen12? I apologize but I'm not very keen on this tech stuff. When I have more time I've been working with another-bona fide expert to assist me in this. Poor guy has to walk me through so much, I feel bad lol! I just loved this game, though.

[Damian]

Apparently for anyone that has upgraded to a 12th Gen Intel CPU can no longer play the game, the problem has been known for months and I don't see CA fixing this major problem for many players any time soon.

That's the thing if you are doing a fresh install it should be empty, then when you launch the game you will have preferences.script.

I would like to see if you have a 12th Gen Intel CPU please, can you follow the steps below.

Right click on the "Windows Start" icon on the bottom left, then click on "System" and under "Device specification" you will see processor, copy and paste what you have here please.

[ericdelker]

12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700KF 3.61 GHz. k...I'll try the launch deal and go from there. Hope this is what you're looking for. Thanks by the way!

[Damian]

Unfortunately the game will not run for you anymore, because of your 12th Gen Intel CPU. Many people are in the same situation as you are, they can not run the game anymore and are wanting a fix to the problem, but unfortunately I don't see that happening anytime soon. All the best mate.
