2 quick leader quirks that I spotted today:

1) Mongkut is in both Siam and Khmer. (I think he's supposed to be in Siam only; Khmer has lots of other leaders. It would also be weird to see Mongkut vs Mongkut)

2) Selassie (Ethiopia) could be a force to be reckoned with, as he has 3 traits instead of the usual 2

If you Can go to SVN please do. I couldn't for a long time because of my internet provider was very limited. But once I got a better service I now use the SVN regularly. It's allowed me to get games up into the Industrial Era. Plus it allows me to give better feedback that isn't (sometimes) outdated.

I am so glad you use the SVN now BTW.

Have you set the game option that locks assets?
That is not recommended as it prevents you from updating the mod and still continue playing.
Unfortunately the code that changes the music played in the main screen does that by changing assets so you do get the problem even without a mod update.
You can deactivate that part by removing a line in Assets/Config/init.xml:
<load mod="MusicUpdate"/>

Yeah, I did lock assets to keep myself out of the world builder. Is there any way around this then? I mean, it did start working again later but its gone back to not working again.

When the script uses the same menu music as when you started your game, the assets will be like they used to be and therefore it will work.

Anyway, I don't recommend using the lock assets option as C2C games can be very long and that option locks you out of using a newer version and the fixes they contain.

So, the Black Terrain issue rears its ugly head again. What are your comp specs?

 

[Sgtslick]

Ooh, that's a nice rig. I have no idea why you would be getting Black Terrain. By comparison, my 3.5 year old laptop runs C2C great. Are you using v20 or the latest SVN?

Spoiler :

Your playing a game of C2C then a game of RAND 2.0 and back and forth. You Must clear the cache. Rand and C2C share so much core. Hold the Shift key down when you load C2C, This Should clear this up. But nothing is guaranteed mind you.

I see, is this the cache in the C:\Users\SgtSlick\AppData\Local\My Games\Beyond the Sword\cache ??

I deleted its contents earlier today when i was trying to fix this, I also did the ( http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=134020 ) but these didn't fix it. I played RAND instead today That didn't have the black terrain oh and thanks btw

Please dont tell me that CRAP is back again. But if it insist, try d/ling another copy and see if that works

 

[Sgtslick]

I just tested and the shift key technique worked a charm

The odd thing was I had only played c2c for awhile b4 the black terrain showed up.
Oh well, gone now

 

[Sgtslick]

The game really hates it if I click on the mini map to jump around. Im industrial era now on large map and its almost guaranteed to make the game crash.
Even scrolling around sometimes causes it to crash. Its usually not too bad but if for example I just dumped heaps of espionage into someone and can now see his cities, so i scroll around - I have to be very careful.. like not to scroll to fast etc.

Does this have anything to do with the fov or something?
I paging non visible units off and the other one.

Does the map delay 0.00 or 0.25 option in the BUG > MAP menu maybe have an affect on this?
I got rid of that black terrain, scrolled around to look around and CTD

The scroll/minimap CTDs are a graphics issue that I still investigate. A workaround if you get a lot of it is to use the SVN version and hide the city entities with Alt-Shift-R.

 

[Sgtslick]

ok thank-you

Just noticed that Mechanized Infantry is still upgrading to Tesla Infantry instead of Power Armor Infantry or Walker Mech or something. Any thoughts about changing it so the upgrade path doesn't end with Tesla Infantry?

I'm fairly certain this was changed in AND 1.76....

Makes me wonder if any other changes were missed as well?

Yeah there are still a lot of Modern to Trans-Human Era units I want to try to fix. We have been mostly focused on Units from Classical to Renaissance.

In fact any of the new units not only need their buttons fixed but their stats too to better fit within our upgrade paths

Good day.
I got CTD during middle ages on giant earth map, and I cant advance beyond this point because of CTD.

My computer is i5, 12 GB RAM DDR3, graphic card NVIDIA Geforce GT220 with 4 GB, Win7 and so on.

So I am pretty sure my computer is sufficient to play GEM.
And still, there is a CTD.

Attached save file just before the CTD.

Please help!!! I bought all this RAM only in order to play GEM on C2C!

Are you playing v20 or latest SVN? This isn't crashing for me, so it may be that whatever causes it is already fixed in the SVN version.

Is it 100% reliable for you? (on end turn from the posted save game)
