"Fire" Developer Diary

Still not working. I just tried uninstalling Civ4 completely, putting everything in my documents/my games into backup, then reinstalling civ4 vanilla & patches, downloading the FfH2 20 file anew and installing it. Game came up, at the end of turn 5 pressed end turn and BSOD. something just is not working for me. wish i had a log to post for kael as this is as frustrating as heck. Have gotten 1 ctd, 2 bsod and 1 scrambled multi-color screen tonight. hopefully there will be better news in the morning.

What o/s are you using Nimbus a number of folks have had issues with Vista.

have vanilla version w/cd, properly patched. CTD means crashed to desktop, game starts up fine then stops, shuts down and desktop comes back up. BSOD means Black Screen Of Death. when playing game stops, screen turns black and computer goes unresponsive to any commands. computer is still running, have to disconnect power cord to get desktop back on.

are you playing with a worldbuilder map or a senerio from v16
 
It's important to know the O.S, yes, but if Light was working fine, so should Fire.

A CTD in the first turn is horrific. BSOD is worst. Maybe people having problems can post a save, so the team has something to work from.
 
Damn, can't get it to work either. It crashes at the moment a game is fully loaded (when "Play Game" button should appear)

Edit: Oh, and I'm using standard Windows XP

You are using vanilla Civ? If you have Warlords swap cd/dvds. I honestly have not had a problem (XP(H), Civ4 vanilla latest patches, all file paths set to default) I additionally have not had to mess around renaming any asset folders. Again I'd suggest trying the shortcut thats provided in the mod folder

I got exactly the same - I suppose there is no way to change it by ourselves.
I have only got one hypothesis. Do you have the civ4 installed in the default path? Because that's only thing I have unusual, and it could be a forgotten link...

Normal Civ 4, no other mods installed, latest patch I think aswell.

Edit: just checked, yea, it's patch 1.61

Nope, I've installed it into the default path.

Edit: Oh, and I can enter the civilopedia.

I just had this exact problem, will try again in a sec.

edit: happened again, going to bed - I suspect all the early downloaders jumped the gun a little, but the temptation was just too much
 
I am playing as the Sheiam (natch!) and I met Mahala of the Doviello and she automatically declared war on me before our first dialogue box but then the dialogue box came up and the only option was "there shall be peace in our time". Then cease fire was offered in the same initial dialogue. I chose peace treaty and we are now at peace...

:confused:
 
Maybe we're not even supposed to be playing this yet. Have you considered that? Maybe Kael uploaded the UNHOLY version first, to TEST OUR PATIENCE!!!

(I am downloading it btw ;P)
 
Same problem as mentioned above - CTD on game start, just before where the Play Game/Dawn of Man would normally be.

Standard Map Size, default number of Civs. Tried on both Fractal and Continents. Tried varied player Civs - AI civs set to Random. Game started as "Play Now" and "Custom Game". Unpacked art-files and removed .fpk for no-effect.

Windows XP Pro, Radeon X1900 XT, AMD 64 X2 4800+, 2GB RAM

All logs (generated from a clean logs directory) that I have are zipped and attached below, along with the initial save.

I was playing as Sheaim and teched to infernal pact and switched to the Infernals. I assumed that since he's got the Barbarian trait that I would be at peace with the barbarians, but apparently that isn't the case? I've been pillaged by barbarian boats and attacked by orc spearmen so far. That makes getting the Armageddon counter up a bit crazy considering the barbarian heroes that it causes to spawn. Also, my turns auto-end every turn after I've finished moving my units (as if I had hit the end turn button, but I didn't). Anyone else encounter these bugs?
 
where is this unholy version or the real one, it is alredy almos two after noon, when we are supposed playing it
 
Seems there are still some problems with fire...
I'm downloading it anyway :)
 
So do people recomend waiting? at least until a patch comes out? or has Kael played an evil trick on us...
