Just won... WTH!?!

Had nothing better to do, thought, "Heck, why not crash the game again!?!"

In all seriousness, It didn't work. It crashed again. Currently I must say that time is running out to help me. As my flu gets worse, and my temper continues to flare, I will soon take out my frustration on my computer. (It's called code rage) :lol:
 
Not an ideal solution, but perhaps one of these helpful fellows who tested your save could exit the victory screen and save the game right after. At leasty that way you could continue your game if you wanted.
Does the regular game work?
 
well CFC fanatic you can always come over to my house and play it on my computer, I'm getting into my Xbox anyway, 'cept I don't want the flu :)
 
:lol:

The regular game works, and I will post the save-game. Please, somebody, select "wait. Lemme just play a few more turns..." save it, and post it. I'll take the save-game and we can just forget this ever happened. Thanks to all who tried so hard to help me. I... I... ACHOO! *sniff* appreciate it...
 
There are no saves to download.
 
Well I finally found a local store that carries Conquests. $10 price drop to $20, yay. When I get home from work I'll re-save this out for ya. But isn't this going to happen to you most or every game until you find the root of the problem?
 
Bad news. The Hall of fame does not recognize that I have won the game. :cry: However, there is good news... I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico. :joke:


Actually, I've done one better. I have discovered how to hack the Hall of Fame! :devil: I have no idea what to set the values too, though. I'm going to win another Conquest, and change the Mesopotamia values to whatever, say, Rise of Rome is. I'll be back later.
 
HighScore.cv3
format:
leader name A nnnnn B C D
A = the civ race counting from the list shown in the hall of fame. That is 22 would be Arabs.
B = level counting Chief as 0.
C = type of vic/loss
VictoryType: Domination(0), Conquest(1), Cultural(2), Diplomatic(3), Spacerace(4), Retired(5), Histograph(6)
D = 1 means won 0 or 2 means lost
 
But since it's a conquest, it would be the CampaignRecord.hof file, which isn't in ASCII. I looked to try to get rid of that open SG victory for the Napoleonic conquest, but I'm not concerned enough to mess it up.
 
I'm sorry to resurrect this old thread but I figured out how to fix the bug. On a hunch I deselected the read-only flag on the game folder and told Windows to apply changes to all subfolders. And the game worked! I think think the problem is that, since all the files were read-only, the game would crash when it tried to update the hall-of-fame file. I guess it was just a case of dumb, lazy programmers.
 
[j/k]And on the day of the resurrection, C3CF demanded to see the proof that the answer was true, the holes in the thread's hands and feet. When shown the proof, he fell at his computer weeping...[/j/k]

Thanks a million. That makes more sense than anything. I had given up on the conquests, until now. I appreciate it. Anyway, now that the problem is solved, the thread can finally be laid to rest. :) And don't worry; bumped threads, even those that are this old, are OK if the post has substantial value. This post certainly does. Again, thank you.

"Be at peace."
