This is the incompatibility guy again.
I've just re-installed the game as shown below :
- Civ3 vanilla from my French CD ;
- C3C from my French CD, set up in French language ;
- beta patch 1.15 in French ;
At this point, the whole installation is in French, and Civ3 is up to 1.29f, PTW up to 1.27f, C3C up to 1.15.
Now I download a mod made in English from this site, it's got a .biq and a Civilopedia.txt in it, that I put into the Conquests\Scenarios folder. I run the mod, and of course it's got text in both French and English (as before), but... the game doesn't crash anymore !!! Before, with PTW, it would crash whenever I launched an English game that had its rules modified (like GOTMs). This now seems gone. But I'm not 100% sure of that, because I can't recall what exactly would cause the game to crash.
I'd like some people to express their point of view on this subject, and I'd like to know if some European people that don't have English versions at all share my conclusion : C3C is compatible with the rest of the world !
P.S. : If I posted this in the wrong forum, I apologize in advance.
