Rhyes and Fall Bugs with BTS 3.19

[dfor]

Hey everyone,

I had a sweet game of R&F going, then I decided to update to 3.19 and things got buggy. I'm on a 2.33 ghz macbook pro, running 10.6.1. I'm hoping that someone here can lead me back to the path. Now when I open BTS, the app opens fine, then I select my save game, it then boots R&F, it gets through the original load to the screen with the world map.

At this point one of two things happens: either it just bugs then and I get pinwheel which ten minutes later my computer realizes is death, or it goes to the saved game load screen at which point it bugs at initialization.

I realize that I haven't provided anywhere near enough information. So, please let me know what information I should provide, and, importantly, how to get that information.

I've read a few posts, and so I opened CivilizationIv.ini with a text editor and have change "LoggingEnabled = 0" to "LoggingEnabled = 1"

Not sure what to do at this point. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You have upgraded BtS, and in the process you have also upgraded Rhyes and Fall. I have no idea whether the new R&F can open saves made using an old version. Maybe that's the problem.

There are two places where information about the failure may appear:

1. With LoggingEnabled=1 you may get Python errors logged in ~/Documents/Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/Logs/PythonErr.log.

2. If the application crashes you should get a dialog listing the crash log. Only the first part of this is likely to be useful here.

Either or both of these text lists may offer clues about what caused the problem.

Hey,

Thanks for the advice, I got rid of the saved game (with sadness), and am now trying to start a new one using 3.19. The R&F map mod loads, I can pick Japan again, but then when it gets to the auto-play turns remaining screen just stops. Nothing at all happens, progress, no nothing.

PythonErr is empty....

Any ideas?

Which other thread? One of the problems with posting the same stuff twice is, the rest of us lose track of where you are looking!

Hey,

The other thread is the "Does Rhye's and Fall work?" thread. It raises my question, and comes to the conclusion that the auto-turn is broken or inoperative in 3.19, at that point the answer they come up with is starting with a 3000 bc civ, playing them until the civ you want comes along... which is workable.

Thanks for the help,
