    Im having a problem as well.

    Downloaded ToEE from GoG.

    Folder is in my C:Drive/GoG/ToEE

    Windows XP.

    Error reads.


    ToEE Front End has encountered a serious error.

    IO exception when building a package: ZIP file must have at least one entry.

    Program is unable to continue and must close.
    Please report this as a bug to the Co8 community.
    Make sure you attach a full log file.



    When I click to install the Mod it wants to set up in C: ToEE. So I have to redirect it to C: GoG/ToEE. Then it says folder already exsists do you want to overwrite (or something like that). I choose yes. It adds a bunch of stuff to the ToEE folder. I click on the TFE-X icon and choose install and that error pops up.

    Have you followed the installation steps as they are written?

    Is your Java version 7 or later?

    The Everything You Need to Know About The Modpack thread will solve most installation problems.

    Please consult that thread and after following the installation instructions there let us know what problem you're having and at what state of the installation you are at.

    Humm, I could of swore I read Java 6 or higher. So I did check it. I was running Java 6 now I have Java 7 and it seems to be working fine.

    Java 8 was the latest version but sadly it does not work on Win XP.


    Thank You.

    I'm glad you're up and running. :)

    The front end loader for 8.1 was built with Java 7, so 7 or newer is required.

    The idea behind the thread dedicated to TOEE problem solving, is so that folks can get answers to the most common issues quickly without having to wait for someone to answer their post.

    Hello,
    Is anyone having any issues with the latest version of JAVA 8.0.310, of running ToEE? I am on a Windows 8.1 Platform. The security is set at high, with no more Medium. The game was running smoothly on JAVA 7. I upgraded to JAVA 8.0.31.0 after my last save. Now, everytime I load my save game or use the handy ToEE Map, the game CTDs. I got a strong feeling, I might have to re-install the game. Any suggestions??? Thanks.

    Hello group,

    I am desperate to play the mod, but I cannot....Here are my steps

    I install TOEE, to different section than my program files

    I have my antivirus ignore that section

    I have java version 8

    Therefore I do not run it in compatibility with Windows XP but windows 8 (I have windows 10 btw)

    I install co8 8.1.0 nc on the same place as toee

    Installs properly

    Run it in combatibility with windows 8 also

    And then when loading the in game screen I get the

    TOEE.exe has stopped working

    How can I solve this or what am I doing wrong?

    Are you running ToEE as the Administrator?

    Yeah, always. I get the same message also sometimes when i try to run the original toee without the mod, but then i exclude it from the antivirus and it works, However this does not apply for the mod as well as I get the error

    Sometimes switching the option of watching the starting video (of the battle and such) from watch to not watch, or the reverse, can solve the problem. I think you can do that from the ToEE-X (Front End?). That was the case for me once.

    I just checked, and the Front End X has a button along the bottom which toggles the Intro Video on or off (disable/enable I think).

    You made no mention of installing patches 1 & 2, are you installing the GoG version of ToEE (that includes them by default)? Or a different version (that does require them)?

    Hey guys, the game seems to be working now, and I did nothing, sometimes I get the same error, sometimes it plays normally,weird..Yes I have the gog version of the game so no patch is needed. I use Avast as antivirus, and ill also try the beginning video thing.

    Thank you all for ur replies, does anyone HAVE ANY idea what could be causing the problem?
