Weapons pack DL and....... CRASH

[F-4PhantomII 0]

So I just DL'd the weapons pack and now the WOV will not load up at all. Anyone else have this happen to them? Is it normal? Is there a fix that does not have me unistalling the program and reinstallling it?

Delete the Weapondata.dat file from your weapons folder, and using the weapon editor, create a new one by opening the weapondata.ini (likewise located in the weapons folder), and hitting the save button. This will recreate the weapondata.dat, and should fix your problem.

Did you install the latest DirectX 9.0C? That tells me that you did not.

Thought it was already on there... would this keep me from playing the game with the latest patches though?

Yes. We cannot say this often enough. When in doubt, refer to the knowledge base! http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12164

What FUBAR has said sounds right without DirectX9 the game could CTD!

Nope, not that either, I just DL'd it as per the third wire websight and it still crashes just the same.

Reinstall SP4 again.

Ok... after reinstalling everything again.... it finnaly loads up... and... Plays LOL. How, exactly, nerve raking is windows? Do you guys think it is safe to attempt the weapons pack now with all the updates and the new Direct X?
