    I've had TOEE for some time and removed it from my computer when, like so many Atari products, it proved hopelessly bugged to the point that there was no fun to be had playing the game.

    After @2 years I was hoping that at least the game was functional due to any patches developed but...

    When I used patch 2 I received error reports every single time I stopped playing and was also unable to loot dead opponents.

    When I added patch 3 the game would go through the opening scenes and then return to the desktop.



    I'm now uninstalling the game (again) and would like to know if there is any way to actually make it work.

    I second CJ's comment. Co8 has breathed life back into the game.

    So reinstall the game and then Co8 instead of any other patches and the game should run properly?

    Check out the installation instructions at the Co8 website. It will tell you what to do, and make sure to follow them to the letter.

    Yeah, I'm expecting it will resolve your stability issues. I haven't played ToEE for several years, but I do remember it being highly stable with the Co8 stuff (I must have done at least 4 runthroughs with it back in the day). The game still wasn't absolutely perfect... the modders can only do so many miracles through modding, but it was light years above and beyond the vanilla game.

    Patch 1 and 2 appear to have been done successfully, now downloading Co8 patch...will edit on completion.


    Argh. I now have TOEE and TOEE Front-End X available, the games I had on the original version somehow survived being uninstalled and reinstalled and when I try to quit either version I get the error report message, although on Front-End X I could not click on anything and had to turn off power to get out. Advice?

    Hmm, when you uninstall you might want to completely nuke (or move) your install directory to ensure that it's a completely fresh install.

    So how to do that when I uninstall everything, including several desktop icons?
