While my personal guess would have been on the lacking backwards compatibility for Windows 8.1, the GoG page seems to suggest there might be an issue related to the GPU. In fact I can't get a copy even, making it very hard to reproduce this issue. This isn't the case with Populous: The Beginning. (Exact translation should be: "D3DPOPTB.EXE - Ordinal not found - cannot find/locate the ordinal 3 in DLL-file C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Bullfrog\Populous\weanetr.dll.")Īnd yes the thread on forums is made by me, as you can see im getting really frustrated by this error, not only because i dont know how to fix it but also the fact that EA customer support in Holland is really reason we do offer support for the other Populous games is that they were recently added to the Origin store and hence are still actively being sold. Its in Dutch, i just used a rough translation of the error in English "D3DPOPTB.EXE - Ordinaal niet gevonden: Kan de ordinaal 3 niet vinden in DLL-bestand C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Bullfrog\Populous\weanetr.dll." Tried all compatibitity modes on both software and hardware mode of the game (poptb.exe and d3dpoptb.exe),ħ. I installed to c:\program files (x86)\electronic arts\bullfrog\populous\, also tried to install to c:\electronic arts\bullfrog\populous\, without changes.ĥ. I installed it with the setup file which autoruns when you put the cd in.ģ. Tries installing both, both give same error.Ģ. The one from 16 years ago is the US version, the platinum one is EU. I also baught the ptatinum one 10 years ago. ![]() I first baught the game about 16 years ago, at the Vroom and Dreesman (in Holland) if i remember correctly. I want to be able to play the game just like anyone else (i seem to be the only person with win8,1 who cant play right now), so if someone could help with this, i would appreciate it alot!ġ. Im not an experienced programmer, but from what i have heard, it would only take about 5 to 15 minutes to update the WEANETR.DLL's ordinal 3 for an average programmer who has experience with DLL files.Īs i am part of Populous Reincarnated (the website which offers a multiplayer service with all kinds of extra's for Populous 3) you can understand that this is quite a problem for me. I find this very frustrating, that a company doesnt offer any help in any way because the game is too old. ![]() When i asked why they do offer support for Populous 1 and Dungeon Keeper 1 (which are even older than Populous 3 and Dungeon Keeper 2) they said they couldnt answer that, I already contacted EA Holland by telephone, but they refuse to help with this because according to them "the game is too old". I already contacted Microsoft about this problem, but they forwarded me to EA, since according to Microsoft, WEANETR.DLL is a file made by EA (or any sub-company of EA like Bullfrog). I have searched on the web for solutions, all i found is a post on GoG forums from 1 other person who has the exact same problem, but then with the game Dungeon Keeper 2.Īs both games are published by EA, i find it very strange that EA only offers support/help for the first prequals of these 2 games (Populous 1 and Dungeon Keeper 1 are both listed in Origin, Populous 2, populous 3 and Dungeon Keeper 2 are nowhere to be found strangely). "Ordinal missing - Ordinal 3 can not be found in C \Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Bullfrog\Populous\WEANETR.DLL". The game installs fine, but when i try to start it, i get this error: ![]() I have a problem with Populous : The Beginning.
