Crash!

[Despot]

well my problem is that my game simply crashs without any error mensage...

first i thought it was a bug from the 1.0 version , so i download the patch and the apolyton pack and started playing very happy the game when the same problem happened , and it happens just when the game is getting good ( at least for me hehe ) in the modern ages...

my saves if any want to take a look...

this one is no patch and no mod ctp2 version and the game crashs when i pillage some stuff near a nicaraguan city...

this one is patched and mod version ( mod with apolyton pack ) and it crashs when a soldier of mine walk...just pass the turn e he will walk and the game will crash...

thanks.

Hmm i never heard of this happenin' sorry Despot

[Tamerlin]

Sorry Despot, for the first crash I would think it is because you were trying to pillage a tile which is not on the territory of a city (this is a well known bug) but I would have identified other kind of bugs with a mod and the need to modify the DebugSlic=Yes line to DebugSlic=No in your userprofile.txt file.

What is your Operating System?

Well, a lesson well learned always tells me to save it every 10 rounds
However, sometimes it happens to crash, so that no saved game helps

[Tamerlin]

Quick saving every turn with the Ctrl+S command before ending your turn should be enough. When you have such a crash, reload your latest QuickSave and then reload SLIC:

- Type ' to open the chat window (usually used in MultiPlayer games)
- In the text box type: \reloadslic
- Hit Enter to run the command
- Hit Enter again to close the chat window

This command loads again the SLIC files and in many cases (though I can't assure you it will solve your problems) this is enough for the game to go on unhindered.

thanks everybody!!!

i save a lot of times , but its the normal save , options > save game ( i think that is the way ).

hehe and never knew that bug of pillage , but its true , the polution effects in the world made the water go up and destroyed some cost citys , like that one , so the title improvemets were left there and i tryed to pillage and it crashs...

my debugslic is no...like the readme file from apolyton pack says...

so i will do the quicksave thing and the reloadslic and see if it works...

my os is 98se , but im planing to change to 2000

thats it , i will try to solve my problem with your solution and i will report if it works or not...

[Tamerlin]

A last advice, even if you are doing a quicksave every turn, do a normal save from time to time (when you quit the game for example, or once every hour) just in case the quicksave would be buggy (though I have never encountered any problem with them some say the Quicksaves are not always reliable).

[Despot]

Yeah!

i did the quicksaved from a another save , and a passed the bug year without any bug , i didn't even used the reloadslic , just quicksave thing...

thanks!!!

You are welcomed!

[Despot]

and by the way , is there any way to fix the pillage problem or i just have to avoid pillage stuff on non-city areas?

[Tamerlin]

Aaargh!

I know there is a file somewhere that is preventing a unit to pillage an invalid tile, the bug is not solved (as you should be able to pillage such a tile) but at least there isn't a crash anymore (as you are simply told you can't pillage this tile).

I don't know if it can be downloaded from the directory as I have already searched it without finding the said file (which does not mean it is not there ). I am sure Martin knows the answer.

[Despot]

oh thats good...

lets wait Martin to show up so hehehe
