Twilight doesn't start

Downloaded Twilight yesterday; GC2 Gold was already installed on my E: partition. Twilight wouldn't start yesterday, so I tried moving the whole Total Gaming folder from E: to c:\Program Files\Stardock\

Still won't work!

Note: All the subdirectories under C:\Users\WSL\Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor\ are empty. Does that mean it installed incorrectly?

Note: All the subdirectories under C:\Users\WSL\Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor\ are empty. Does that mean it installed incorrectly?

No, those folders are only filled when the game first runs.

Your debug.err is one from the base game--you'd need to post the one from TA for a TA problewm. I can tell from this one though that you don't have the base game fully updated, at least.

If TA has not produced a debug.err file when you attempted to run it, then you've probably just got a launcher issue. If so, creating a shortcut directly to the game's exe at the location you installed it at will get you going (launcher issues are not generally worth troubleshooting).

so I tried moving the whole Total Gaming folder from E: to c:\Program Files\Stardock\

Unless you've manually updated the registry too, that's really not recommendable since it'll cause later issues trying to update the game or when the game tries to identify whether DL/DA are installed and current.
