Single Player bugs and crashes v37 plus (SVN) - After the 24th of December 2016

[Toffer90]

I think that's the best way to resolve it Toffer. Here, I haven't updated past that point yet:

You know, I could have easily gotten those files through the SVN myself.
I see you've resolved the problem while I slept, thanks, I haven't had much time to work on C2C lately.

From my post about crash that might be about exception error in the ntdll.dll

I would need your save if it continues to happen at the same point reliably. A minidump may help if you can post it fast enough.

I played a good while yesterday, after i updated the SVN to 9603. And i havent experienced the same crash again.
But i holla if it dose

@TB
As agreed I'm posting this here as well

For some reason the POW transport promotion (the one looking like a chain) allows for transport of any land units and not only POWs

I found inconsistency in Attometer Engineering tech description:

Attometer is bilion times smaller scale than atomic scale - that description could fit nanotech or picotech (inner orbitals of atom)
Femtotech is nucleus ad Attotech is quarks scale roughly.

BTW what do blue beaker and red cross mean in tech tree above?

Alberts expressed a neat way to resolve the issue and I wanted to try it out. It worked quite nicely. Additionally, I had some things to commit so was a little impatient. I know you could've resolved it... thanks though!

It seems my period of greatest activity is pretty much a ghost town zone for most others.

BTW what do blue beaker and red cross mean in tech tree above?

beaker = show/don't show those techs I have researched

Cross = show/don't show techs that I can't research because I don't have the building or resource needed for them. Such techs can't be selected and should show as red boxes if they are displayed. There are only two at this time, although a couple of the Punk techs should be set up the same way for consistancy.

I believe there is something wrong with the items i have circled, i have a "red" spot there in every city which should not be, also in the pic attached it shows i have Canaanite but no icon is shown??

Yeah, something is strange there. Any chance we could try to figure out what revision this effect began at?

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

Having that red spot is often an indicator that of too many resources or an error in linking something to the correct index in the GameFont file.

The picture does not show what you say. You have a Canaanite missionary in the city and that it can't spread its religion there. That does not mean you have Canaaism there it could mean that you have a Civic that wont allow non-state religion spread.

edit the red dot is appearing where the defense icon should be ie the black tower. Yes I am getting it also.

edit 2 it is the Coa Dia religion I must of accedently deleted one important line when getting rid of the excess XML. I will fix it asap. Don't turn off Coa Dai as that will break your save games.

I updated to the latest SVN before trying to fix the above problem and I am getting the following more than once

Assert Failed

File:  CvGlobals.cpp
Line:  5463
SVN-Rev:  9596
Expression:  stricmp(szType, "NONE")==0 || strcmp(szType, "")==0
Message:  info type 'BUILDING_COMMUNITY_DISCUSSION' not found, Current XML file is: xml\Civilizations\CIV4TraitInfos.xml

----------------------------------------------------------

If I were to guess I would say that it should be BUILDINGCLASS not BUILDING but that is just a guess based on my mistakes in the past.

I believe that is the file that "Whisperr" put in the svn lately . .

thx, DH, that fixed the problem, . . . .

I'll review it... we were pretty careful and didn't have any visible problems or xml errors according to the validator. Maybe the Debug dll catches it's own set of errors as well? Not sure how we missed anything but I'll check into it.

I have played for several hours in two-tree different sessions and no crash.
I deem this issue resolved.

Okie dokie.

Hi. Is anyone else having problems with aircraft missions? I tried a few, recon and bombing, and the game ends abruptly at that point

I don't know how to upload a dump file.

Thanks

V37 stock, i presume? Crash bugs there were resolved there in the first week after release. There could be some other issues if its on the latest SVN assets. If so just upload a save with instructions on how to replicate. You can almost always upload a 7zip compressed file btw.

As far as I know, yes, it's the latest and greatest. Now I guess I should qualify something, I started on the Galactic Era, and I had to cheat otherwise I couldn't build paper or glass, I just added them to a city as a freebie. I did see the notices about starting in the caveman era, and how it might upset the game, but I'd never get that far, post-human, galactic or future doing it from scratch. Anyhow, it's on the 3-maps, err, map. I wanted to see how it would play once I had spaceships.

So, I built a regular propeller bomber, and as soon as I tried getting it to do any mission other than relocate, the game fails. I used worldbuilder to add the most modern aircraft for testing, same result. I tried them from forts or cities, same result. As soon as I actually want an aircraft to do anything, end of game. None of the other older ships or ground based units has a similar problem.

I suppose I won't be able to get spacecraft to do anything without it crashing either

Thanks for your time.

Well... are you using the SVN or not?

I have no idea what an SVN is

I'm using Version 37. December, 2016
