(NAB: User Error) Ticklish scientists with explosive gas...

[superslug]

Whenever I click on a scientist (civilian specialist, not SGL), the game crashes/quits completely. I knew this was a problem in an earlier patch, but it now appears to be affecting me in 1.15beta. While annoying, I tried several different cities over several centuries, and sometimes the same one, so very reproducable. Actually, so far as I can tell, nothing I can do about it period.

The funny thing is that it didn't do that real early in the game, but it changed at some point and has done it since.

Are you using an altered popheads file that isn't for C3C? (would then make sense that crash occurs only after new C3C specialists become available).

I am using the CivI popheads, but it was scientist click crashing even before the C3C specialists were available. I'll see if I can patch my backup folder of III up to 1.15 and see what happens. Either that or restore the original graphics folder from the backup...

Okay, I think my problem is solved. Replacing the Civ1 popheads with the original game artwork leaves me unable to reproduce the crash.

NP. I think Moonsinger had the same issue a while back, and a custom popheads file was the cause; hence my suggestion.

What is it about you HOFers and altered popheads?

We don't let the governors manage citizen moods, so we need to be able determine at a second's glance the happiness status of a city.
