RFC - Loading a game as the Americans

[Koba the Dread]

Greetings all.

If I am posting in the wrong location, I apologize and please do not hesitate to delete or move my post. The situation I have encountered is quite puzzling. I started a game as the English and around the turn of the 17th Century I was given the option of taking over as the Americans; which I chose to do.

After saving the game at varying intervals I encountered a strange problem: when I started CIV BTS back up and chose the file to load - nothing happens. More specifically, CIV just sits on the RFC screen without any loading screen (quite unusual).

However, I got around that obstacle by loading my last saved file of the English and once that loads I go and load the file from the Americans (which works without issue). So, with that said, has anyone else encountered a similar problem or has anyone figured out how to combat that issue.

Thank you for your time.

Maybe you were playing Rhye's of Civilization Mods and didnt load the mods before loading your save ... not sure tho, it's just an idea.

 

[Koba the Dread]

Good point, I'll take a look at it when I get home. Thanks for your advice.

I had the same problem; I hadn't tried your solution though. I'll check that out.

I had a similar problem, I solved it by loading a save from in game, rather than at at the civ menu, only happens for civs I switched to

 

[Koba the Dread]

Dear Quantumf8,

I'm glad someone else has encountered this problem. I also got around the problem by loading a saved game while in an actual game; and yes, it has only happened to civs I've switched to.

Me too, and I reported it in RFC forum. Hopefully it will be patched.

Dear TheJopa,

Thanks for posting. It is not a major problem, but I wanted the powers that be to know about the issue.

Well it looks like after weeks of searching on the threads, I've found people who are having the same trouble. Thanks guys

I normaly load the mod first, however, and the game gets stuck in a loop just before the loading bar shows up. WHY??????

 

[Koba the Dread]

Dear Jaffa lord,

I have no clue as to why it gets stuck in that loop. I have not heard anything on any of the other forums about this. It's not really a big deal, but I just wanted to make sure that the problem gets reported.

 

[Jaffa_lord]

Yeah, I'm not too sure why myself. I've been talking to Gabriele (Rhye), but I'm not getting any help.

 

[Koba the Dread]

At the end of the day, I am not exactly worried or upset about this issue. Ultimately, it is nothing more than a minor glitch, and we know how to get around the problem.

But, I just want to make sure that "Rhye" knows about it.

 

[Jaffa_lord]

Im worried about my problem, because I cant switch to a new Civ and save the game with feeling safe that I can play it again later! And since you cant START as the Americans, I'm usually Romans (or English). Maybe I'll E-Mail him again...

Where's that? I've always wanted that available (I'm quite interested in seeing how the AI does during the autoplay).

Check the stickied threads in the RFC development forum, one of them has the link to the unlocked wbs in the first post.
