load game from mods

[Salamandre]

Is hallucinating how this big budget game gives me so many unpleasant surprises. How do we load game?

Only way is to go to menu, then load. but going back to menu takes 1 minute, can someone explain me WTH it takes one full minute just to go back?

Not sure what your reference to big budget game means, but just looking at the images, maybe "mods" is a more significant detail than the budget behind the game being modded by no budget individuals?

I am getting a similar issue under mods screen. On normal start screen, no issues. From the Mods start screen I only have load game and custom game.

Any ideas?

Are you talking about a separate issue? As I understand it, the thread is about the menu once in game. It sounds to me like you're talking about the main menu (title screen). On the main menu, when you go to start a game with mods, to only have load game and start game is normal for me.

I have seen you in the CBP forums. It is because you are playing with CBP. Unfortunately the "big budget game" does not like loading from within the game if you are using mods with Lua or changing DLL. If you reload from within the game, the game can either crash to desktop or it can break so little, that you will notice only after playing for some time (e.g. the UI will be slightly broken or numbers, such as gold, science, etc. will not add up correctly, etc.). This is why many of the complicated mods remove the Load button.

the community patch that is, I can spot it from a mile away

Does this happen with CP too, or just CBP? I was finally going to download CP when I get home from work today, but this might make me reconsider.

 

[Salamandre]

Yeah, you are all right, it was CP. I took it because they told bugs were fixed, and from that point my problems started. Back to Whoward's DLL, ay least I never had problems with.

Somebody posted this exact issue after you did on reddit. Somebody came up with an elaborate explanation that appears to have solved that person's issue. link

You should not use the Load button with WHoward's DLL either. It is a DLL mod, so you are asking for trouble.

And by the way WHoward collaborated on CP, most of his DLL is included in it, and 99% of his mini-mods are compatible or even included. If you want more competent AI, CP or other DLL mods are the only way (ok, some non-DLL mods improve the AI performance slightly by tweaking flavors or stats too). You either have to give up on better AI or loading from within the game, unfortunately you cannot have both.

Reloading the DLL is not the cause of the problems - I've done it for years, many times per game over many hundreds of games and never had a single problem.

A bit late but I have to underline that: never had any problems with Whoward's DLL while the first day I installed CP, I got the screen above + many other troubles and had to delete it, game became unplayable.

As I am using about 20-30 mods simultaneously, I don't say it was CP's fault directly, I can't know. ALL I know instead is that the DLL worked with those 30 mods without any fail.
