spy and trades dont work

[wolfman972]

Not sure what happened but i cant use my spies anymore or my trade caravans or cargo ships. Anybody have any issues with this.

Hard to diagnose this without a save file, or at least some screenshots.

 

[wolfman972]

sorry but im on a different computer for a few hours so i cant do that but the problem is that whenever i choose the spy or the caravan i get blank screens that pop up and i cant do anything with them. I think its been since the patch but not sure. Seen others post the same problems but havent seen any ideas or solutiuons

 

[Browd]

Well, when you get back to home base, see if the issue is resolved when you reload your most recent save. Even if it is fixed by reload, a save from before the problem started may be useful to the devs. Also, using any mods?

 

[wolfman972]

yes i have a few mods i use that never had issues with before but maybe since the patch one of them may be a problem. I did reload it a few times already but it never fixed the problem. Maybe somebody will have an idea or experienced the same thing but if i dont have any ideas i will post the saved game later.

Save file and list of mods may help narrow this down.

I can confirm this post Fall patch problem with assigning spies and trade routes.

Was using 22 mods that were previously safe with BNW, and kept experiencing this glitch. However, after dropping all mods and restarting the game, everything was fine.

Also tried to narrow it down by eliminating a few mods at a time, but with 22 mods that became too big a hassle, so I stuck with playing without any mods.

The mods I'd previously been using were:

Barbarians - unlimited experience
City-State Diplomacy Mod for BNW
Colored Religions
Goody Huts - No Maps
Improvement - Farm Replacement
London Eye Wonder
More Luxuries
More Pantheons
National Park
Oktoberfest for BNW
Piety Buff
Pikeman to Musketman
Policy - Free Archer
RED Modpack
Resource - Mint Include Copper
Smithsonian Institution
The Olympic Games
Trafalgar Square Wonder
Units - Cheap Workboat
Wonders - Disney Pack BNW
Wonders - Museo del Prado BNW
Wonders - UN Headquarters

from your list i can see we have the city state diplomacy in common. Will try without it and see

I've been having the same issue. The Smithsonian Institute was the only mod I shared with that list but I disabled/unsubscribed from it and started a new game and same deal.

But a normal game, no mods, works just fine. Going to uninstall game and let it re-install while I sleep and see if that fixes anything.

 

[Sireaglestrike]

So update, disabled all mods related to new wonders and everything works. I guess something with adding new wonders to the game is what causes this bug.

 

[wolfman972]

i dont have any wonder mods and still same problem. I wish I knew a solution

 

[Sireaglestrike]

Can you list your mods to see if we have any that overlap that you could turn off to get to work? Mine is working 100% fine now, just be disabling a few mods (doing some further testing to pinpoint the exact mod doing it).

 

[Gedemon]

check the mods that use a custom DLL first, AFAIK they need to be updated else the trade/spy screens will not work.

 

[Torvald]

Did some quick testing tonight and found out that using just the City State Diplomacy mod for BNW causes the problem with not being able to assign trade missions.

Using no mods at all causes no problems, but that makes the game less fun.

Will try experimenting further to see if any other mods also cause this problem.

P.S. How do we tell if a mod uses a custom DLL?

 

[wolfman972]

I also passed a few hours testing mods....talk about tedious...a few others i found not working along with city state diplomacy is
-city state pact mod
-28,34 and 43 civs
-world congress 2

 

[Torvald]

Yeah, it sure is tedious testing individual mods, but I don't have any modder skills, so cannot really complain too much.

At any rate, here are three mods that I found work okay with the Fall Patch:

Barbarians - Unlimited Experience v2
Colored Religions v3
Policy - Free Archer (a self modified version of Policy - Free Warrior v1)

Will do some more mod testing tomorrow night.

 

[wolfman972]

city state diplomacy is now updated to work with new patch now. FYI

 

[Torvald]

Thanks for alerting me to the updated v9 of City-State Diplomacy Mod.

Tested it last night, and it works fine now. In fact, all of the other mods I'd previously listed now also work (some of them got updated too). Hooray!!!!

 

[Sireaglestrike]

I think the only mod still not working for me is the RazeCapitals mod (lets you raze capitals/city states/etc.)
