Ctd

I am playing RiFE 1.12, fully updated, with the Imperial Roads mod on Windows 7. After you load this game and press end turn, the game crashes. EVERY TIME. I cannot figure it out.

Are you doing anything other than the default options on the custom game screen? I found that having more players and flavourmod led to crashes nearly every time, but the guys who know how the code works assure me that's not the issue (It's thought that there is a problem with one of the civs, possibly a city graphic). If you can give any more details, that would be good. Maybe you'll see something the rest of us aren't.

BTW with the default number of players for a given map size worked for me about half the time. I got no first turn crashes with flavourmod turned off, but then my starting positions stunk.

I'd love to check it for you, but I flat out can NOT load old saves anymore.

New version (Which is my working version, currently unreleased) has an entirely new alignment axis, all sorts of other new features, a new religion... Basically, anything that can be done to break saves HAS been done.

I can ask questions though, hopefully helping you solve it... First off, do you have the Jotnar in game, as an AI civ?

 

[bardliam]

Yes, the Jotnar are there. I can't figure out how to block certain civs.

 

[Valkrionn]

Go into the WorldBuilder, and delete the Jotnar from the game (Remove their cities), then try to advance the game again... Let me know if it works.

To block a civ, there is a game option (Limited Selection? Something like that... Think it's the very last option in the list). Select it, and it comes up with a new screen... Here, you can set civs as Open, Human-only, or Blocked. The option will then turn itself off (Supposed to, don't worry), and you can start a game.

 

[Cyrusfan]

Well, you know, if you'd release the new version, then we'd all be playing the same version...

 

[Valkrionn]

Nowhere near able to release, need to do a bit of XML work.

At the least, there's not much DLL work to be done now.

The Jotnar are in my game too. I have made it to around Turn 300 and now I am getting CTDs constantly. I save after each turn and usually if I go back 3-5 turns and 'play differently' I find I am able to play on.

However, in my current game, no dice. I have tried going back, deleting units, whatever, but did not delete the Jotnar.

Are you saying that the AI Jotnar could be causing mid-game CTDs and to try deleting them to save my game?

I thought I had selected the option to not choose the Jotnar or Scions randomly for the AI, but I forgot.

Thank you.

 

[Valkrionn]

Yeah, the problem with the Jotnar currently is the AI wants to build a Settler or Worker, but the unit doesn't exist for them.

 

[Cyrusfan]

And because they sometimes build something defensive first, I wasn't getting that first turn CTD every time the Jotnar were in my games. I'm glad you guys figured that out.

 

[Valkrionn]

Well, Vermicious figured it out and fixed it. I had nothing to do with this one.

why do you not install the current release of RIFE to a seperate folder structure?

a good baseline is to pretty much block any 'advanced' race from AI play, like, I've got dteshi/kurios/jotnar/mercurians/infernal/(and for stupid OP wintered the snow races :E)
