Title: Problems with Battlefront.exe
Post by: Gramics on June 26, 2015, 06:42:24 AM
I've insalled everything to play Battlefront 1 online (I used the GameMaster installer) but if i click on Battlefront.exe, a message appears:

"The program couldn't be started because binkw32.dll isn't on your computer. Re-install the program to clear the problem."(English)

"Das Programm kann nicht gestartet werden, da binkw32 auf dem Computer fehlt. Installieren Sie das Programm erneut, um das Problem zu beheben."(German)

I also re-installed Battlefront and everything else and restarted my computer but it still doesn't work.
Quick help please.

Hey,
Phobos uploaded the binkw32.dll file here (http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9325.0;attach=4710)

You have to move the file into LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData

I installed my Battlefront again and the installer doesn't even work anymore.

I already had that binkw32.dll file but it just said that it wasn't there.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Which installer?

binkw32.dll (make sure the name is correct and it's in the same direction where battlefront.exe is located) (What OS do you use)?

The auto-installer for GameMaster.

I made a mistake writing my post. I have Windows 8.1.

I tried that method with the hosts file but it said that I don't have the permissions to edit it.

I did, but i had to download a copy through a torrent. My CD wasn't working when i tried to install it, so i did what i did. I used the CD Key that came with the CD itself.
I had the same issue, so i had to torrent the game, it was the only way i could get it working.

You don't need the installer.

If you are administrator on your system, you should be able to edit this file.

-> Do you have skype? Then I'll show you how to get this to work.

It's kinda difficult to help when I don't know your current setup.
