tl;dr version
BtS becomes unstable/buggy/crashy at a specific turn/year
vanilla civ 4 & warlords work fine however
HALP!
Hello folks, wasn't sure where else to try and find some help for this, so here I am.
Basically, my game crashes - but its a bit more odd than that. I managed to save the game on the turn before it becomes unstable.
Running: Beyond The Sword patched to 3.19 and using the Unofficial 3.19 patch from this very website (my problem occurs with or w/o the unofficial patch)
system specs: Intel quad core 2.4, 2gb of ram, geforce 8800 gts 512
windows xp (fully updated)
vid card is latest driver.
The save game is turn 530 - January - 12060 bc
Playing the earth ice age scenario - Epic - Noble
What happens is when i click to end turn and the next turn (531) starts, the game bugs out.
The gold display at the top left above the Event Log is gone. The current turn + year information at the top right, gone. The current research tech progress bar/info at the top of the screen, gone.
Hover over info is also no longer displaying. That is, normally when you hover your mouse over terrain, or a unit - info about the unit/terrain etc is normally shown, transparent, at the bottom left just above the interface.
When i go into a cities manager/planner screen, the left and right interface is completely gone. I can only select what to build at the bottom.
Can't toggle the leader score display.
If i try to click on or open the Event Log, the game then crashes to my desktop. If i try to save, the game crashes. I can however issue orders and play the turn out. and then end the turn.
The next turn, everything goes back to normal - except two things:
First: at the top right, game is showing im on turn 532 - january 12059 BC. Shouldnt it be 12058 bc?
Second: game still crashes if i try to click or open the Event Log.
This cycle of buggy - normal turns repeats itself, until (i guess) the game has had enough and every turn is a buggy turn. Some turns i can save, other turns it crashes when i try to save.
I have tried reinstalling and playing through BtS 3x now, run into the same bug at the same exact turn/year.
Thanks.
