[Graphic Mod] Varietas Delectat v9.2 [civ specific unit sets]

[AvatarLDI]

That doesn't make much sense then, you should be able to play a full game 17 civs on High graphics no problem, unless you have less than 3 GB of RAM and a 256 MB graphics card??

No I have Core 2 Quad processor with 4GB of RAM, and a 1024MB GeForce GTX 280 graphic card.

Once it starts to crash, I can load a saved game and play another 10 or 20 turns before it crashes again, so once it starts acting up, I just save after every turn so I don't lose progress. I can finish the game, but have to periodically reload the last save game after a crash and play from that point.

What about the blue screen with no image when you make the Hungarian Parlament, is it supposed to do that? There used to be a image of the building when you built it.

Playing as the Celts, my archers are called 'Javelineers' for some strange reason and during combat they emit a kind of 'Ah-saw' stereotypical Asian high-pitched whine.

I guess the Celts really HAVE been made diverse in this latest release!

Ooops, that sounds a bit TOO MUCH diverse
I'll check the issue, thanks for reporting

Then the only other thing it could be is a ArtDefines problem.

Yeah my last crash was a runtime error also, but mostly get the memory allocation errors.

 

[Uncle_Joe]

Yep, I'm getting memory allocation errors as well. FWIW, I'm using the VD with the extra leaderheads and Poland/Hungary. If I uninstall the new Civs and the new leaderheads, the instances of errors goes down dramatically.

I have a quad-core system and a 512mb 8800GT if that matters and I'm using Better AI as well.

I have the extra leaderheads and all the new civilizations that are available with VD. It does appear that the extra leaderheads is what has greatly increased the memory allocation errors. After I finish the game I am playing, I think I will remove the the leaderheads and see if it improves the games stability.

All addons has established, to play probably only to industrialism. My opinion in fashions to play it is impossible, as it does not work

Update on crashing:

I reinstalled the new Leaderheads mod without the 'enhanced graphics' and it ran a lot smoother. I eventually did run into a memory error, but it was much farther along than before.

But something is REALLY chewing up the memory....

Is there variety in the Modern Era expansion now?

 

[kingkev78]

Heys guys kinda new to site but it seems you guys like as much feedback as possible.

Playing a Standard map just got past modern era, have crashed twice. First time when large amounts of workers building railroad and next time clicking on civics screen. Keep in mind in I have old spec computer but have been playing on max graphics res1680/1050 xp/sp3, 3g dual core, 2g ram, nvidia 7900gs sli 512mb. After first crash turned down resolution to 1600/900 but left everything else cranked. Moving at pretty good pace now, save games are working on reload.

With that being said just wondering are you looking for info on all bugs noticed large & small?
Saw some weird fighting glitches, or at least what looked like glitches.

And last on some instances when talking to other civs, the screen around their picture went black every now and then not every contact.

Anyway keep up the good work and really great mod.

Hi,

@all: Please note that installing the Leaders of VD can result in MAFs in the late game. I assume it's because the size of the art FPK files is then over 800Mb or sg like that, and it seems it's a bit too much for the Civ4 engine. I will revisit the Leaders of VD, try to optimize it if possible.

@kingkev78:
yes, thanks, feedback is always a good thing!
Please describe the fighting glitches you experience.
About the resolution changes, black picture problems, I think this is also a general Civ4 related problem (even though Varietas Delectat has huge art files, that are bringing out these problems more often...)

Hi avain
I'm trying to install VD6; after I change the destination folder in the setup box, continuing the installation becomes impossible: the "Install" button is deactivated (grey). I don't understand if it's a problem of my PC or whatever.. Can you verify if you have this problem too?

Hi,

So after I posted last night I ran into a problem. Was doing some research online for 20min then want back to my game. Now the mod won't load up at all. Seems to get stuck right around 65% than crashes.

Not sure what the problem is almost like the mod is too big to load up, but that doesn't make sense to me. I tried loading other mods, I have ROM and Lor also, to see if it was a Civ4 general problem. It seems something happen to VD. Also I can't load up Quot Capita either. For some reason they both halt right at 65% and game crashes. They were working fine for couple of days no problems what so ever. I will try to uninstall both and try again from scratch to see if this helps.

On the fighting glitches from last post I was playing Rome noticed that the war elephant rider seems to fall off the side off elephant on attack. Also couple of instances of archers either not throwing rock from sling or disappeared from screen. Again these are very minor not really concerned about them myself, didn't take away from my overall experience. Just figured maybe you want to know.

Anyway thanks for response and I will post update after I uninstall and reload.

Hi,

yes, this one's been bothering me, too, as I tried to install VD on my laptop where Civ4 is not installed -> installer cannot find it -> greys out.

I'll try to get a solution from NikNaks, maybe he knows something...

(as an interim solution you could always unpack with 7zip the exe, and you'll get some folders containing the mod, but those are not really nice and probably need to be renamed, moved, copied....)

Yes, try to reinstall and please report back.

For the glitches, I will check those, thanks.

Hey avain,

Just to let you know where I am with things. VD6.0 works fine at moment. Also added LD and extra civs all but Cuba. Everything was working fine. But when I tried to install Cuba got 3 unit links errors then it crashes. Also had to uninstall the whole thing and start over couldn't remove the error by removing Cuba folder from assets.

After Cuba error I reinstalled everything without the Cuba civ pack and i'm running smoothly.

Really enjoying your mods. Also posted on the Quot Capita thread reguarding a couple of errors I ran into. Thanks Again.

 

[AvatarLDI]

About to start a new game. Instead of not using the Leaderheads, I reinstalled it without the improved graphics option, to see if that helps. If I still have problems I will try to play a game without the Leaderheads module altogeather.
