I've got a BTS game that repeatedly produces a CTD when I attempt to go to a new turn. I'm not sure which of the logs are most useful, so I post them here:

********
From the ThemeParseLog

And, from the log folder:

[46116.078] ERR: InitWinApp() failed, exiting
[46116.078] ERR: CIV Init FAILED, exiting

I wonder if someone could tell me whether this game (which is very far advanced, of course!) is a lost cause. I suppose that I could try backing up several turns and hope the particular configuration that caused the crash won't repeat . . . .

Is this a bug?

[wodan11]

Yes, Tattila. Though, I believe Bhruic fixed it with his latest patch.

Ooo, need to see...

I've also noted some wierd colors after switching to SLI... I wonder if there are optimal settings for Civ under SLI?

[Tattila the Hun]

I think this is a bug, too...



I mean, what's the point of cultivating friendships, if they mean nothing to a powerfull enough AI? The reason I don't have a military, is because I didn't have enemies, or so I though...

[Tattila the Hun]

A bug here, a real one...



SLI stuff, I'd wager.

Not sure if this is a bug... But no-one can ever use that fish.



But here's something rather baffling... There never were forts to allow passage to Lisbon by naval vessels. So, how did that galleon get there?



Sidenote, if I were to build a fort into an appropriate place, I should be allowed to build ships there.

Exec spamming seems to be fixed, but not navy spamming -- the AI needs to understand when to stop building caravels and triremes.

Probably.

Um, there's an island within range just east of that fish.

No idea on that one ...

:snicker: There happens to be a mountain peek within range, NOT a habitable island.

It was obviously not considered worthwhile to code in that exception to seafood placement. I also do not see why it should be -- so WHAT if some fish trick you into thinking there is some useful land nearby!

Not a "bug", just something to nitpick!

[snoopy369]

There's an island, so it's a valid location for the fish. It's possible to mod the game to permit landing on a mountain

Can't believe some of you guys are still playing this

i was trying to use the latest patch and was not able to restart the program. Is this me ? as per usual, or are others having trouble?

[CerberusIV]

Just found something that is really irritating me. Every so often the governor in my capital turns itself on. Not sure what triggers this, possibly one cause was founding a corporation that increaqsed the food supply but otherwise it just happened 3 or 4 times in my last game.

crash while loading

I got a problem since installing the patch for RTW, i can play the game, even save it...I just can'T LOAD it....it crashes and says ''failure to uncompress game data''....it's kind of a bummer : )!!! anyone has that problem or an idea of what the problem is?? thx

[jbp26]

so this isnt a bug, per se, but more of an oversight. in my last game i rushed boudica and conquered her before 2000BC. then way later, 1800-something, another civ founds a colony, which happens to be the celts. and all of a sudden, half of my core cities are getting hit with "we want to join the motherland" unhappiness. so lame.
