Rise & Fall – Civilizations at War: Unable to locate file, the data path appears to be incorrect, please check your data path.

by on Jun.07, 2020, under Gaming

Starting the game Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War may cause an error message on Windows 7, Windows 10 or newer, saying:

Unable to locate file, the data path appears to be incorrect, please check your data path

We may fix this by creating a file “runme.bat” (without quotes) in the game’s installation directory. Let’s put the following contents in that file:

RiseAndFall.exe -datapath "Data\" -redistpath "redist\" -nodump

Save the file runme.bat and double click on it. Afterwards the game should work fine again.

Alternatively, we might was well create a (desktop) shortcut to the RiseAndFall.exe and apply the -datapath parameters from the text above to it in our target. Example (obviously you’ll have to apply the path to your installation directory):

"C:\GAMES\Rise and Fall\RiseAndFall.exe" -datapath "Data\" -redistpath "redist\" -nodump
