RFC: BtS Bug Reports

[Mishter Magooh]

Not sure if this has been posted before. I have the latest version of RFC and everything, but for some reason my turns are ending without my consent. Basically, when the end turn button glows red, the turn is immediately over. It isn't game breaking, but it is very annoying. Any advice?

If you changed civs, this happens even if before your "wait before ending turn" button is checked. Uncheck it and check it again, then it should work. Same for the other buttons (e.g. do not show animations, do not automate workers, etc).

Thanks man. I did the stuff you suggested and it's working fine now.

You can also save and reload the game to restore all your normal settings.

I just downloaded the latest version of RFC for BTS and also the Unlocked WB saves for 3000bc and 600ad. I also am as up to date in windows vista that I can be. I try to run RFC and right before the whole mod loads, it crashes to the desktop. (The main menu music plays for a split second before crashing.) I tried the error reporting thingy, but nothing has come up yet...

If it helps, here's the error code:

Do you have the latest patch for BTS (3.17)?

Do you have the latest patch for BTS (3.17)?

I think I do...I just bought it a few days ago...

Nonetheless, I decided to reinstall the game. Fortunately, I can play RFC now. Unfortunately, whenever I load or start an RFC game I get about 20 XML errors about certain "events." This seems to cause certain events to be logged wrong or something because (for example) every turn a message pops up saying "The Egyptian city of * have seen their homes burned...and are forming militia troops...etc." And also, it is 1745 AD in my game and I have not seen a single plague in Europe (and only 1 elsewhere, in Mesoamerica.)

(*= The game doesn't even put a city name there, so I doubt it is an event that truly happens every turn, ie. the Egyptians getting militia units every turn...)

Still, better to patch. Who knows, how many time that BTS disk was lying on the shelf in the store?

Ok, is it best to do the update in-game, or do it some other way?

(I'm pretty sure the disk wasn't "lying on the shelf" for too long, because I had it shipped from manufacture..."

You can also download the patch here:

I had it shipped from manufacturer

Maybe the evil capitalist manufacturers are deliberately shipping outdated versions to the downtrodden workers...

In my RFC BTS games as Mongolia I always get my river trade available even though I did not researched the Sailing yet. Not sure if that is a bug, or just some wrong info in Pedia...

 

[Quotey]

In BTS trading along rivers works if the whole route is in the cultural borders. Trade along coast works the same without sailing.

 

[Tigranes]

Oh, thanks! Now I see...

new problem:
I think my mercenaries are messed up.
First occurrance was a couple days ago after a game as Carthage.

I can only put units up for sale until one gets hired. Once one of my units is hired, I cannot see any of my units contracted out, or the one that got hired in the screen (sometimes, of course, the mercenary is killed, but other times, the Financial advisor screen says I am still getting GPT for hired out mercenaries...and that says nothing about all of the other mercenaries I have contracted out that just dissappear in the screen.)

Also, I can only hire mercenaries once. The turn after I hire a mercenary, all mercenaries dissappear...even my own contracted out. (Of course, there's a VERY SMALL possibility that there just aren't any mercenaries to hire...but I seriously doubt that this has been the case for my last 3 games.)

I will attach an example as soon as possible.

EDIT: Sorry, it must have been just an isolated occurrance... It seems VERY UNLIKELY that there weren't any mercenaries for three straight games, but now it seems to work again...

This may not be a RFC-specific problem, but in my current Arabian conquest game, since I want to spread Islam by the sword, and have Cristo Redentor, Univ of Sankore and Spiral Minaret, I switch to OR/occupation and become Islamic again, at least temporarily. But even in cities which have a religion, it says I need a monastery to build a missionary for the religion(s) present in that city.

I have a save with the 2 churches built if you want it (World Wonder: -1 left), but I think you have a different version so its probably pointless.

i had a similar bug, just that saladin builds church of nativity, over and over again. basically, in all his cities which have christianity. (and i suppose if he has a great prophet as well, although i wouldnt know that), he also owns jerusalem...
since i didnt own the original i have no idea wether there were -2 left or how it worked...
unfortunately i dont have a save, and i did mess with the buildings xml, but never any changes to the church of nativity...

 

[eris23]

i dunno if this is a bug exactly or what else to call it, but i played as rome till 840 and switched to germany afterwards. whenever i finished giving all orders to units and cities and so on, my turn automatically ends, without pressing enter.

switching the Civ resets all your ingame options, you have to redo them in the Options menu

dankeschön
thats where i looked first but what confused me was that all the boxes were checked...
either way, uncheck and check again and it works...
another thing that i noticed is that i cant trade money or technologies with the nation i played before and i cant ask money of no one. although if they offer, it works fine.

alright, i got to restage the church of nativity spawning frenzy i reported before. it happened when i added a new building, it being a copy of the barracks, just that i made it unique to the japanese and added a great general emergence +1% for every barrack built...

I had the RFC release version in my BTS. I downloaded the 1.8 patch, and put it in the mod folder under the name Rhye's and fall of civilization. It crashed every time I tried to load it (not even got to the menu). Then, I put back the older patch of RFC with the Rhye's and Fall of Civilization name and the new patch under the name RFC 1.8. And the strangest thing happened: when in the public maps folder, I clicked in one of the WBS and it loaded the older RFC mod, not mine. Anyway, any clue of what might be?
