What does this mean?
« on: May 18, 2017, 08:27:30 PM »
So I went to log on tonight and downloaded the new update. Installed and walked away for a minute. Read the notes and tried to open the game. Got this message...

"Initiliation failed with -9
mainWLD_FAILED -1"

At a loss.

Have you done a message board search for that specific code?

If my memory isn't failing me, I believe you might have a corrupt video.cfg file

Delete it and load the game again

Hope this helps

No search needed boss, check here http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,382061.msg5086715.html#msg5086715 

Just download and install the full game over what you have and it should clear it up.
