Unable to play as Ottomans?

[douglas_21]

My game always crashes when I click on the Ottoman empire. I've re-tested this again and again. Is anyone else getting this problem? I want to try out the UB, looks like fun. UU would be great too.

I have the same problem with the ottomans, but everything else seems fine...Does anyone know how to fix it?

For some reason, this happens to me both when choosing ottoman, and when meeting him in game. It seems to be some sort of bug with the leaderhead.

You can "fix" it by substituting another leaderhead for mehmed in the Assets\XML\ART\CIV4ArtDefines_Leaderhead.xml file.

I used the leaderhead for stalin, so you can substitute this code for mehmed's code:
<LeaderheadArtInfo>
<Type>ART_DEF_LEADER_MEHMED</Type>
<Button>,Art/interface/LeaderHeads/Btn_LH_America_Washington.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Warlords_Atlas_2.dds,2,8</Button>
<NIF>art/LeaderHeads/Stalin/josef_stalin.nif</NIF>
<KFM>art/LeaderHeads/Stalin/josef_stalin.kfm</KFM>
<NoShaderNIF>art/LeaderHeads/Stalin/josef_stalin_noshader.nif</NoShaderNIF>
<BackgroundKFM>art/LeaderHeads/Stalin/josef_stalin_BG.kfm</BackgroundKFM>
</LeaderheadArtInfo>


This is on line 297 in my file. Hope this helps!

Fireaxis released a mini-patch that fixes this.

There's a fix for it already... I had the same problem, but a fix was released a couple weeks. Try searching for it on the site. "Ottoman fix" will probably work.
