Silkroad Online Forums

Ok i tried playing Silkroad on a different computer than my own, and this Error message pops up when i start up the .exe

MS firewall setting perhaps?

Firewall will not allow you to connect to the game because it restrict the program from connecting to the server. It wouldn't, however, give you a string error message.

Message String Error refers to the scripts that is being run by the program and has encountered an error whilst the system is "reading" the particular script file.

So basically your saying it was a corrupt dowload or incomplete?

Corrupt download wouldn't even allow you to install the game at all.



No, it simply means that the script being run by the program cannot be read by the system. I highly doubt reinstalling might work at all. But if you did try that and it works, it can be offered as a solution to others.

Just thought I'd ask. What O/S is that particular system using?

judging from the shading on the title bar and icon in his screenie, i'd say windows XP, not sure whether home or pro, or which service pack

Great... I'm bloody blind. Thank you Geobot.

Which version is it? and service pack?

Windows XP pro is what he told me, and considering i use XP home, i cant very much compare

I'm running on Pro as well. No problems or issues for me though. Still it would help to know if his Service Packs are up to date.

Ill check into that and let you know tomorrow perhaps, thank you for the help by the way

The reason why I asked you to check for latest updates and service packs is simple. Users often encounter errors that relate to String Errors. A lot of times, these string errors happen because the user has not gotten the latest update.

The updates that MS releases are not just security updates. There are updates that updates how the system handles the running of VB. Installing the latest updates might help to solve the problem.
