Hall of Fame Crash

[Mournblade]

Since installing the file-packs to play GOTM18 and finishing with a score that updated my HOF, my HOF does not work anymore. Everything else works ok.

Clicking on the HOF icon, causes CivIII to close and exits me right to the desktop.

Outside of re-installing everything, does anyone know what the problem may be and if so how to fix it?

Thanks.

You have to edit the file with HoF: HighScores.cv3 and delete all lines that show results of GoTM.

Actually the simple fix is to text edit the file in your civ3 directory that will be named "HighScores.cv3".

In this file, you just need to look at each line of text and change the number that appears after the leadername to be something less than or equal to 16.

While you are in there you can edit the leader name into a game label identifier.

Oops opened file with word perfect fixed then accidentally savedthe file into word perfect instead of other now i just have numbers and symbols how do i fix my mistake

Vlad Dracula,

did you save the file with a .wpd extension?
the HighScores.cv3 file is a pure text file w/no formatting.
i think you just need to ensure its saved as pure text and the extension is still .cv3.
