Rise of Mankind 2.81 feedback and bug reports

[niklas627]

Of course its under the RoM folder…
I think that is so obvious that I didn’t need to mention it…

You'd be surprised at how the silliest things can completely derail things.

The thing is that I have played RoM version 2.61, so I find it a bit odd that 2.8 doesn’t.

RoM 2.6 was for BTS 3.17, RoM 2.81 is for BTS 3.19. Have you installed the patch?

When extracting the files out of WinZip, i get this error :
Error: unable to create output file "C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Rise of Mankind\Addons.ini"

I hope anyone knows what i did do wrong?

i have a problem. I'm using the Steam version of bts and I want to play the mod. I put the mod in with the other mods that the game came with when I installed the Steam bought version of the game. but the mod (RoM) wont show up in the list of mods that you are able to load. Ive scowered this site for 3 hours and cant find a solution. Maybe Im just not looking hard enough lol. But if anyone knows what I should do to find the mod IN GAME pls post a reply to me thnx.

Sounds like a bad download, try downloading it again.

The correct place for steam mods is this:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization iv beyond the sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods

RoM 2.6 was for BTS 3.17, RoM 2.81 is for BTS 3.19. Have you installed the patch?

I have tried to run 2.71 with the futures:

Civ: Viking
Map size: Gigantic
Map type: Frantic
Game speed: Marathon

It’s working
RoM 2.81 crash with these settings. But when I tried to run version 2.81 I launched Civ4 from steam, which I didn’t when I tried to run 2.71.
Maybe is Steam causing it

The mod look really neat, but I keep getting a "Memory allocation error" that causes the game to shut down. Attached should be the logs from my last game.

Those are the dreaded MAF errors, generally caused when your save file is approaching 1-2 Mb in size.

MAF errors are because your computer ran out of usable RAM, either upgrade your computer or downgrade the size of the map you were playing on.

Did try to launch the mod with same setting with 2.8
Sadly it crashes to desktop

Can you give us more details? When you installed 2.8, did you delete 2.71 first, then install a clean copy of 2.8?

Hrm..... Is ROM inherently more complicated then regular BTS? I've got 2gb on the mother board and a 512 video card. I've never had this sort of problem with regular BTS.

Thanks for the input!

Yeah, RoM has about 4x the content of BTS, so it needs 4x the RAM.

yes i did

 

[Arakhor]

And did you patch the RoM mod to 2.81 and keep the folder named Rise of Mankind?
