They're All Barbarians.

Looks like plenty of people can dowload the save, except the rest of the team!

Maybe there´s a mod involved? Maybe there ain´t.

 

[cripp7]

here's the resave, no mods here.

 

[pigswill]

Still crashing at the end of the dowload, its a rocker.

 

[cripp7]

try this

 

[pigswill]

No better I´m afraid (I checked that I can still download pholkhero´s save so its unlikely that the problem is my machine). Rolo mentioned MAF () whatever that is.

 

[r_rolo1]

MAF = memory allocation failure .Geeky term for RAM memory overload, that normally leads to crashes ( Civ IV is plagued by this issue since day 0 , and it was never fully resolved ).

Not sure if this is the case , but it surely looks like it ....

 

[pigswill]

Looks like RRRRRas is UP with me on deck. However unless RRRRas can upload the save we may have reached a slight impasse.

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

None of the saves work here

 

[pigswill]

Oh dear, can the save be saved? A question for the technically minded .

 

[cripp7]

That's strange, that MAF means that's the game??

 

[pigswill]

Worst case scenario is that if none of the saves from your last round can be used then someone would have to replay from pholkhero´s last save.

 

[cripp7]

Well I guess skip me and play from polk's save. I split the forces in Africa into 3 stacks, brought down some extra settlers from France to join while building a few more. Also had a fleet building in Asia that was marked.

I'll try it again, but it wouldn't be until sunday before I could play.

 

[pigswill]

RRRRas, can you play from pholkhero´s save? Can you emulate Field Commander cripp7? If not, we´ll wait for Sunday.

 

[pigswill]

No word from RRRRas. cripp, do you want to replay? (More to the point, do you have the time and patience?). If you do, it may be worth posting a save after a turn purely to confirm it can be loaded. If you don´t I´ll play a few turns.

 

[cripp7]

Sure I'll try it again, the only change I made with the last save was running BUG 4.5. But that's in the CustomAssets which shouldn't affect the save. I put 4.4 back, we'll see


edit- I split the stacks in afreica again and save there to see if you can loadit, if so i'll continue on. if not, then

LURKER: I think it does sometimes affect the save. I've mucked around with the xml files before and ended up not being able to load a previous save.

 

[pigswill]

Nice to be able to load a save.

I note that the ´united nations´ forced peace on the green american barbarians, I assume that we abstained from this barbarian persiflage because it would have been very naughty to have demeaned ourselves by getting involved in this nonsense.

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

This save loads fine. go on!

 

[r_rolo1]

Loads fine

I guess it is hammer time on Mali + France ... and also time to start keeping thing razed if we are required to kill all civs to win ( that part was never well established IIRC ). Otherwise we will win by Dom pretty fast...

 

[pigswill]

Maybe if you check the first post?

Victory: conquest or domination.
