I wouldn't say it's impossible to find the buggy plugin. Just move half of your plugins out of the plugins folder and play the game. That way you will immideately find out the portion of plugins that contains the buggy piece. Split that in half, run th game again .. I think it won't take you longer than half an hour to identify your faulty plugin.

Try updating your game, you have version 1.613, when it should be 1.638 or 1.640. You get the updates from this site, by clicking on the EA support button near the top of every page.

sorry but I dont find what you describe. Link?

At the top of every page there are a set of buttons for different links on the site. There is one labelled Support with the EA logo on. Click on that and it will take you to the page where you can download official updates etc.

This is what it looks like: (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsc4devotion.com%2Fimg%2Fbn3_support_up.jpg&hash=27bdd3264248ba2ae8567d8da1f57753f18be1ac)And this is where it takes you: http://www.sc4devotion.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=

Got it.
I installed the patch. It didnt fix this error. This error happend very quickly, like five minutes. I cant play the game.

Then do what Rady suggests in reply #1, it really is the quickest & easiest way:

It may be fastest, but still not fast. I really dont want to spend hour and hours just for a game.
I am going to uninstall this game. its kinda sad but I dont have other options

it doesn't take long at all, most likely 15-20 mins, the time you've spent posting and responding here would've been ample but if you're determined not to play the game then so be it.

20 min? I dont think so
I have 2GB plugins. most of them are comressed, and the uncompressed files dont exist, becuse I compressed these files a year ago

As for things being compressed, that's another issue. I haven't used datpacker so I can't speak from experience but I do know you have to keep an uncompressed folder as well.
Even if you've got 2gb of plugins, in the time it takes to load your game 4 times you have reduced your plugins to 125mb, it doesn't matter how big your plugin folder is it's still quick.
