Been playing season for over 50 games and all of a sudden I got a white screen with mouse pointer in the middle and now it just loads and loads when i start a game. (Have to force quit). I tried different modes as well but still it gets stuck on the loading arena screen. -Not frozen just doesn't load-

Weird as it was working before. Is it some particular home team or is it doing it with all buildings?

Okay, first of all. There should be vertical loading bar (at first) and then a horizontal before it goes to a game.

Did you use a different jersey than a home or away jersey?

Do you have the latest roster and arena files installed?

What is your OS?

Same problem. I get into menu, set both teams and controls than start game.

Loading, loading, loading... and nothing happened. Force quit. Never saw this mod running :(

OS: Windows 10

Roster files have to be placed into two different folders. *.exh and *.exha roster files to c:\Documents\NHL 2004\db

and db.viv and tuning.viv to C:\NHL2004\db (if that's the folder you installed the game to)

Quote ZeroPucks:

In Windows 7 the folder would be called "My Documents", but in Windows 10 the folder is just called "Documents." They are both the same thing so you install the files “NHL 2004 Exh.exh,” “NHL 2004 Exh.exha.tdb,” and “NHL 2004 OLExh.exh,” to either C:\Users\*username*\My Documents\NHL 2004\db or C:\Users\*username*\My Documents\NHL 2004\db depending on which version of Windows you have.

Thanks for fast reply :tup:

Game installed C:\NHL 2004

db.viv and tuning.viv copied to C:\NHL 2004\db

NHL 2004 Exh.exh, NHL 2004 Exh.exha.tdb, NHL 2004 OLExh.exh copied to C:\Users\mynick\Documents\NHL 2004\DB

win 10

You have mod interface and the arena.viv installed? Started the game from Launcher.exe?

Try with anti-aliasing turned off in the Launcher.

Did you install arena files? You should check that those are the latest version.

I used this manual and reinstall game:
http://z15.invisionfree.com/NHL04Rebuilt/i...php?showtopic=1

i copied rest of files to C:/NHL 2004 (facepack, cyberfaces, arena...) but now it says "Your 3d accelerator card and or your video card could not be initialized properly".

All other games TC Division, WoT,... work fine. To be sure my drivers are OK, i completely reinstalled graphic card. I got GTX 970.

So im doomed... I couldnt try if reinstalling game helped because new problem was discovered.

That error could come sometimes. I have had that 2 times.

You should run the launcher as an admin and with xp compatibility mode.

Try again and launch at least 5 times. If it won't start and gives the same error. Then we have to think about other solutions.

With compactibility mode (XP SP3) it Works!

Thank you.
