Heres what you gotta do:

1. Download and update to 1.2, if you already upgraded to 1.3, reinstall. Update : http://www.gamespot.com/pages/gamesp...=6144373&mode=

2. Download this crack : http://www.gamespot.com/pages/gamesp...=6144373&mode=

3. Extract into C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War\GameData, that includes the .dll.

4. There you go! The only problem is you can only load the sweaw.exe, nothing that loads launchEAW.exe will work; not the CD or the shortcut. Have fun.
