Master of Mana - Download

I can't be bothered to register on your new forum just to ask a question so here it is.

I am using the newest version, 1.3 with the 1.42 patch. For some reason, when ever I try to start a custom game the mod just crashes for me. I am using the absolute default settings for Erebus continent with the time victory disabled but other than that completely default. I newer had any problems with the old versions using the same settings. So what gives?

it almost has to be a corruption somewhere, if you were stable prior to 1.42.

I would suggest a clean install.

Delete all current MoM folders in the Mod directory.

Install 1.3 full version
Install 1.42 patch

the problem should not be in the custom game settings, which I use on 90% of testing.
 
Thanks for the reply.

I used to run 1.3 unpatched and it worked fine. Than I updated to 1.42 and that's when I started getting the crashes. I did the whole delete and blank install thing both before the original install (to be sure) and a second time before I came here and still no luck.

One interesting thing is that play now seems to work. When I first ran the install I started a play now game with completely random settings, just clicking next->next->next to reset the ini file and that worked fine. But when I try to run a custom game it crashes.


The actual crash happens exactly when I click the launch button on the play now meny. The interface disappears to reveal the background image from the main screen and than a second or two later the game crashes.


This said, the forum said I don't need any of the intermediary patches between 1.3 vanilla and patch 1.42. So I did not install any of them. Should I have?

I already posted your message in MoM's forum. Feel free to post bugs/ideas/something else here, I'll post them to MoM's forum. AFAIK, Graywarden also visit this forum regularly so your message will be delivered into the right hand :)
 
... It's been days. Anyone have any idea how to make it work?

There were no complaint similar to yours in MoM forum. Sephi is at his cave to finish coding/take a break for a while, so there are no response from the team too.

Sorry, all I can suggest is redownload 1.3 and 1.42, then re-install MoM.
 
Tried that several times... :(
Thanks anyway. At least I now know not to hope.
 
if play now works and custom game does not, chances are that there is a setting that will cause the crash (captain obvious to the rescue).
i remember vaguely that there was an earlier report about such a setting that caused the crash, i believe it was permanent alliances or some diplomatic related option, but again i am not so sure. i hope sephi fixes this in the future.

regarding your question, you need 1.3 and patch it to 1.42. no intermediate patches are needed.
 
aquablue responed in the MoM-forum:

I don't think I'm registered with Civfanatics (or if I am I have no idea of my username) so I'll reply here.

Can you ask if they cleared the data under MyGames\Beyond the Sword folder before they reinstalled everything. I know that can sometimes causes problems.

You guys are epic. I re checked everything, cleaned all the folders etc. And it turns out that it was permanent alliances. For some reason the option was turned on by default when I run play now to reset things.

cool! Congrats. Enjoy the game now. Btw, ideal setting is normal speed, standard or large size map, max. 2 additional civs as the default ones.

is anyone else getting this message "./cache/ is NOT writable."when trying to enter the new forum? I can't enter the site... I hope it is due to a massive upload from the master...

Same for me...also comes up when I try to view details of the 1.4 and 1.42 patches. Also I don't find a download like for them on the site, only the 1.3 complete download link :(
