First of all, I'd just like to say that I've been playing this mod since 2.0, the ONLY thing that has kept me playing Civ4Col all these years!
I finally made an account just to say that. And this:
I too had a crash playing the "Gigantic America" map. I downloaded BucketOfHurt's file and after deleting units, I found that by deleting the Portuguese Unit "Faro" (Brigantine) and it's cargo (120 Tools and a Heavy Artillery), the game continued.
I then took the same process to my own file, and I deleted a Portuguese and a Russian ship with cargo. My game worked again.
I am not a modder nor a coder, so I don't know what to do with the files. But I hope someone can make use of this info!
Thanks RaR Team!
Seems to me that once save file reaches 4 MB it becomes unusable.I am also experiencing crashes in v2.4. with saving game.Error I get is "failed to compress game data".
If that is the case, then it sounds like it's a limitation in the game exe and the only thing we can do about it is to reduce the amount of bytes being used to save the game. That is a massive task with a high risk of making savegames unstable. I did reduce savegame size for Medieval Conquest and it was really time consuming because I had to review each saved variable in each class. The code for doing that is so mod specific that it's nearly impossible to move to RaR. It will have to be redone from scratch.Seems to me that once save file reaches 4 MB it becomes unusable.
