Single Player bugs and crashes v38 plus (SVN) - After the 20th of February 2018

[Thunderbrd]

I managed to play for one turn in your save, and it crashed when I tried to spread druidism.

Which save?

 

[Thunderbrd]

I have an bug to mention. I don't know why but when the unit selection lead me to the right (where I have many cities, soldiers (notably Neanderthal rams(it always lead to it first), and moving settlers), the game crash.

Bug or willed?
something looks wrong with Khmer
have 1280 turns and in rank listing Khmer still shown with zero development, but they have 3 cities.
Attached sav "Friedrich v. Chr.-4187" along with screenhsots of (1) world builder showing their cities, (2) ranking table, (3) spionage window

the Friedrich BC-6805.CivBeyondSwordSave ???

Oh then it was other save likely.
Or it was not repeatable crash.

Looks like bug in score calculations.

I let game recalculate and clicked on that civ on bottom and score fixed itself.
Noble handicap is very easy, try playing on Monarch or Emperor.

• Fixed some problems with arab city names.
  • Some characters that does not work are "ţ ā ū ī ṣ ḍ Ṭ" (displayed as ?).
  • I replaced them with their relative from the regular alphabet.

I saw the above in the SVN thread and reminded me to ask about an issue I have.

The Sumerians are in my game and some of their city names are displaying unsually- some have the Temgri symbol in the name like Ki(little tEngri symbol). Is this a related bug?

Just checked and in normal play it is a question mark but in Diplomacy screen the symbol shows up

Those are Siamese city names. Are you sure they're not Siam's cities?

Could be a similar issue, I used some special chars for sumerian cities too, will look into it around Wednesday.

Thanks.

Also, here some screenshots you probably need:

So far I see, there is a mismatch of civs. Leadername is not of Khmer, Cities are not Khmer, but shown up as Khmer. Maybe by that also the range calculation is corrupt for Khmer. Possible that Khmer have no city but a wandering unit only?

Edit
checked again. Jayavarman is show as Leader, in Worldbuilder I cannot find a city of Khmer, but only one field with 6 military units, no settler.
Edit 2
Checked by Notepad++, there is no CityOwner=27
Edit 3
checked the original GEM_27civs.CivBeyondSwordWBSave and there seems to be a bug:
Team=27
LeaderType=NONE
CivType=NONE
Khmer and Jayavarman are not set up.

Edit 4
I "healed" this, give him a settler by Worldbulder

Yeah, I was able to confirm this is happening. It's probably an art or animation problem because the crash is solidly taking place in the EXE where I can't see what's happening or do anything in the code about it. One would have to do a full audit check on all units from that era and art styles for those units - at least that's the most likely suspect. Just panning to where the game tries to take you will cause the same crash so its definitely an object that's supposed to show that causes a problem as soon as it enters the field of view. It's not likely just a missing or incorrect art reference since usually that just gets filled in by red orbs and pink panels and so on. This is somehow worse.

When these have been solved in the past, they've been solved by members of the team that aren't here anymore. I'm not sure what tricks can be used to try and correct this but my tools and skillset is exhausted.

Kinda wish I had seen it did work fine for you before I started looking into it further. I couldn't get this to crash.

 

[Thunderbrd]

ok, weird one here: I have on Hide all unbuildable buildings and is working in all, EXCEPT the capital city?? again weird?? lol

I'm not sure that the bug option matters in the least anymore. It's all about whether you're using the filter or not

yeppers that was it, i reloaded and now its gone. . .

 

[Dreifels]

game freezing if click on spy (City Birka, Scandinavia) Spy just arrived, if I click on it the game freezes. Need to exit game with taskmanager.
Screenshot I made just before the click, when I replayed it. up left in the corner see Ram + VRam usage at that time. The sav attached is made just before the click.

Well... I was able to select him without an issue - even perform a mission with him.
