Can't Launch The Game
If you are unable to launch the game, make sure you try launching in Safemode (No Mods)

This can be found when hitting the play button in your steam library, if it does launch you will want to try to disable any mods from the workshop.

NO SDL
If you have a [NO SDL] file error, you can fix this by cleaning your steam cloud, to do this follow these steps or use our troubleshooter[digitalmindsoft.eu]

1. Find Call to Arms in your steam library
2. Right click and select properties.
3. Select launch options and enter exactly as follows
-reset_cloud_profiles

4. Now locate Documents / My Games / Call to Arms
5. You will see a profiles folder, rename this folder to anything you would like i.e. profile2
6. Launch the game.

Not seeing Call to Arms under My Games folder? Follow the steps here.

In some cases the call to arms game folder will be located in the local app data section.

You can locate this by opening the windows cmd prompt window and typing
echo %localappdata%

Then follow steps 5 & 6

Copy the path that is displayed (should look similar to this)
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\



Error 51

DirectX 10 Error
The game requires DirectX 10 and a graphics card that is suitable for DirectX 10 applications, if you are receiving errors in regards to this make sure your graphics card model meets these standards. You can also try installing driver updates from your graphics card providers website.

Black Screen
This is generally caused by an outdated graphics card driver or a graphics card that does not meet system requirements.

Game launches, closes
Locate your game install folder, generally located
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common
Launch the game exe from there.

.DLL Errors
api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing
MSVCR110.dll is missing

Make sure you have your windows fully updated.
Locate and run vcredist x86 in your commonredist folder located inside of your game install location.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common

Admin Privledges
Some systems require administrative rights to run the game, if you are having problems please try to run the game as admin.

Non-listed Issues
There are some issues that are not covered, but here is a good way to make sure everything is up to standards. Only follow these steps if you have covered everything else.

1. Locate your files under Documents / My Games
- Rename the folder 'this will save your previous saved games so you can recover them at a future date'

2. In steam select the game, properties, and disable the steam cloud.

3. Locate the steam workshop and unsubscribe from all mods.
- Most errors originate from mods that are out of date or conflict with one another.

4. Manually delete the game files located in your steam install folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common

5. If it says the game is still installed on steam, uninstall it through steam.

6. Reinstall the game, do not download any mods and attempt to play.

Please make sure you are not attempting to run the game with any cheats as the game anti cheat will close the game. Using any sort of cheats can lead to a permanent ban, if you wish to make modifications to the game you can use the steam workshop to do so.
