Problems loading GOTM-02 save file

OK - I <think> we are up-to-date with sending out passwords. With a reasonably public e-mail address, I do get a lot of spam. I have tried to be very careful in checking each e-mail, but if you've sent me one and haven't received a reply, please send it again (using a descriptive message title - sending one with a subject heading about v1aGr4 for example, won't get much attention from me )

I have box version game (no pirates), patch 1.52, reinstall game without result, but I cant load save... Crazy checker, crazy save!!!

I don't get much spam, and I've been monitoring the mails. I'm pretty certain that all the ones that have been sent or copied to me have been dealt with by me or ainwood.

Shortly after the "this file is protected" message, I got a crash to the desktop without an error message. Am I correct in assuming that blue marble caused it?

 

[AlanH]

I think version 1.52 exits to desktop after the file protected message. If Blue Marble is in your custom assets the protected file shouldn't go there, and it shouldn't have any effect.

 

[EsatP]

I resieve vers withouut paroll and test loading (2 times) with changing option. Is it reload or no?

I have never had a crash problem or other technical issues with civ4. gotm 1 worked just fine (no BM). 1.52 has been installed since it came out and I've played lots of games. I haven't installed any other changes. I don't know where bm is exactly, but will look around.

Before the CTD, I get a message about the file being loaded is protected, but is not labeled as an "error."

Each time you save and reload adds one reload to the total.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Alan, will the gotm 2 run with Blue Marble?

 

[EsatP]

Each time you save and reload adds one reload to the total.

I dont save, only load and test correct or no correct start game.

 

[AlanH]

Alan, will the gotm 2 run with Blue Marble?

The GOTM 2 save has the No Cheat flag set so it will not load anything in your custom assets. So if Blue Marble is installed there it will be ignored.

Then there is no effect on reloads

 

[Birdjaguar]

BM says everything is loaded in custom assets. When you say ignored, does that mean it won't run the game or it should ignore BM, launch and run the game without it?

Now what.

It will automatically run the game without blue marble - loading the default terrain set.

Not in my case. The game crashes to the desktop. First GOTM ran just fine and the game has played as expected from the beginning.
