Single Player bugs and crashes v43 download - After January 2023

[Mr.Misfit]

I'm willing to bet there's already a resource there that you cannot see.

Well frag me, I think you might be right!

A Readme pdf (in the Docs folder) is nice to have, but comes with a maintenance burden.
The result is that the current one is still on version 40.1. (That's why I put this in "bugs", how old is it ?)

There are several locations where this kind of information might need to be copy-posted :
- The thread in Modpacks
- Player's Guide (which really should also get a link in the Docs folder, probably not even hidden in WebDocumentation ; and a link in the Readme !)
- Civfanatics download page
- Moddb page for C2C
- others that I might have missed ?

I suggest automating this as much as possible (and a checklist for the things that cannot) so that nothing slips through the cracks when a new major version is released.
Because new players still do look at that 40.1 Readme, and then (forgetting to look at other files in that folder ??) think that's all the documentation there is (unfavorably comparing C2C to Realism Invictus).

Similarly, they look at the obsolete Pedia sections thinking they are up to date.
I suggest renaming whole super-sections to Obsolete_section until someone could get at least a quick look at them
(and then move those to a Maybe_Obsolete_section until a detailed review has been done, whenever that happens ?)

Hello,

I have been loving this mod, it's been so enjoyable and basically what i've been wanted for ages.

However, im on my 3rd play through (mainly due to my second one having the same issue) where i get to a point where it will randomly CTD without notice.

I'm not sure what to provide but heres my whole logs folder:

Hmm, that doesn't seem to have worked, did you zip it first ?
Uploading a save game, ideally just before the crash, would help a lot too ! (see the first message of this thread)

P.S.: Welcome !

Sorry! Here you go.

And thanks for the welcome hehe.

You are playing an old version, my guess is v43 (over a year old). get SVN to get tons of fixes since v43 was released. https://github.com/caveman2cosmos/Caveman2Cosmos/wiki/Using-SVN

Saves from v43 is not compatible with newer versions available through SVN btw. so if you insist on keeping your old save then all I can do is ask if you installed the v43.1 patch?

 

[I_nventions]

So I can't use my old save unless i install the v43.1 patch? Is there a link to that?

The patch is a much older version than what is on the SVN now, but it is a bit newer than unpatched v43.

You don't need the patch if you go for SVN, and you don't need SVN if you go for the patch. The patch don't break saves, and the SVN will break saves but give you a lot more fixes than the patch does.

v43.1 patch

v43.1 patch will eventually be released to deal with some immediate errors reported after v43 was released. It will just be a couple files that one should drag and drop into the v43 install of C2C and overwrite files when prompted. Feel free to report v43 bugs in this thread. RC1 Fixed issue...

Thank you! I will continue with my current save but if it breaks again I guess i'll redo my game ahah.

Thank you all so much.

I've encountered quite a fascinating bug, one I haven't seen before. Only a portion of my world is accessible to me at any time, though if I go to the military overview and click elsewhere on the world map the accessible bit of the world changes. Any ideas what might be happening there? I'm using v43 (downloaded latest version I could figure out a few weeks ago), over GOG's version of the game.

Turn off viewports in BUG options, you are experiencing a feature, not a bug.
It's an obsolete feature at this point in time. Graphical paging is enough to keep RAM usage within safe levels.

This made me LAUGH, sorry.

Thanks, turns out that's exactly what it was. What confuses me now is how did it suddenly show up... I didn't activate it, at least not knowingly.
I suppose it might have been useful had I known about it some 15 years ago or so.

 

[JosEPh_II]

Has it really been 15 yrs since Koshling made viewports? 13 yrs I think is more like it. lolol

Not a crash, but the "One of you best hunters says he has developed a better way to hunt our prey! What should we do?" event has an option that says it will give the great hunter promotion but instead gives "Hunting Sight 1" promotion. So the event's wording likely needs looking into. I'd be ok editing the wording but I'd need to know the back end details of the event first.
The after choice event log is "A member of the Zulu tribe has stood out among the hunters. He has taught the rest of the tribe to become a {Great Hunter}." {} being in yellow.

Hi
A strange thing on my machine. I can't see the cottage at all when it's built or even placed on a field using WorldBuilder. The same thing happens with villages and towns. So far, these are the only buildings that simply can't be seen on the world map, even though they're there as evidenced by the field description. Has anyone had a similar problem? Reducing graphics settings and resolution does nothing.

Yes, and it seems to randomly include other improvements. I just don't bother to look for a fix, but it's still a glitch.

Too bad... this glitch will annoy me now. There's no chance I'll fix it myself
