Crash Help

[James T]

In a recent MP game, the original host was killed off fairly early. The host was kicked out of the game, and the rest of us carried on without problem for quite some time. We ran out of real-life time for that session, so I saved the game with the intention to host the next session.

I tried hosting the next session the other night, but each time I tried to launch the game CiV immediately crashed on my computer. I checked all settings that I thought may be causing a problem (modem settings, modem firewall, computer firewall, Zonealarms security, etc.) and even tried temporarily turning off my ZA. We tried, unsuccessfully, 3 times to launch the game. We gave that up and started a different game with no problems, however I did not attempt to host that game, so I'm not sure if it's a problem with the save or if I just have an issue where I can't host games.

Any suggestions?

Host is team 1. Other players are team 2,3,4,etc.

If team 1 die, team 2 is the new functionnal host. If team 2 die then team 1 die, team 3 is the new host. And so on.

If you start another session with team 1 as an AI, you can't launch. You need to call the original player and start the game for you or this game is screwed.

I appreciate your help, Tabarnak. I'm not trying to start the game with team 1 as an AI, team 1 is dead. I was team 2 so I guess I became the host. Shouldn't I be able to host the next session?

Well if you say so i don't know how to help you. File may be corrupted or something else.
