Title: Initialization Failure
Post by: Lazerus on December 13, 2001, 03:13:00 PM

Tried to log on this afternoon and recieved this message.

Initialization Failed with-5 mainSN_FAILED-2

I ran scandisc, defrag and regclean with no results. Then i deleted AH from my system and redownloaded, after which I received the same messege. It did go through the initial video setups before it gave the error messege.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After You uninstall ,make sure u delete the folder AH was in.
Looks to me a mapfile that`s corrupted ,and it remains in the gamefolder after uninstall.

OK, format c, reinstalled everything, logged onto AH without a problem. Was in the MA for a minute or two, then logged out to try it again, and received the exact same error message. Deleted everything in the settings folder and tried again without any different results. Suggestions?
