Mod freezes computer?

[shady milkman]

So I made a new mod to play around with, and whenever I try to play everything will go fine until I right-click on a city and try to rename it or change production. Then the game freezes, the music skips, and I get the error reporting thing and the game shuts down. Any suggestions?

What did you add?

 

[shady milkman]

Only thing I added was a single unit, the Modern Infantry I found in the unit library. I have all the pedia entries and stuff hooked up right though, because I don't get an error message.

if there is no message, there might be a problem with an exsisting Flic file...Ive had this happen...

There is no messgae, it just blinks off right?..

One of the graphics involved is erronious

Yeah, it just stops completely. Thanks for the suggestion; is there a way of finding the faulty flic and removing or fixing it?

delete and re-download.

A faulty filc?...well one option is to D/l flicster and look for it...but short of that (which wont always fix the problem...sometimes Flicster can still read the faulty flic) yeah...delete and reinstall...add and test units, one by one if you arent sure...or try looking at your build ques and see what you were building or moving when it crashed, there is a clue...Ive only tracked this problem down once...and it was a faulty fidget flic...so good luck, its like a needle in a haystack (deopending on the MOD you might never find it)

OK, it turns out the game does this, mod or not, so it looks like a re-install. Thanks for the suggestions.
