Version 2.x bug reports

[Jonesie85two]

Hello, when i start a custom game with huge map with 7 opponents. i get a CTD stating memory allocation failure. It also happens when i load a game. it seems that i can load a map once before the CTD.

i have ROM v2.51. Civ BTS 3.17.

my computer:-

-AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+ (3.21 Ghz).
-3.0 GB of DDR2 RAM 800mhz Double.
-PowerColor RADEON HD 4870 (1GB GDDR3 RAM).
-Microsoft Windows XP Professional 32-bit (Service-pack 3).

Does Anybody know whats up and how to fix it?

cheers lads ;-)

PS. ITS A BLOODY GREAT MOD. IT MAKES ME FEEL SICK THAT I CANT PLAY IT!

Hmmmmm it seems that the technology gained by taking over enemy cities are bugged?
It says on the screen that I've gain certain technologies but never actually gained them?

Edit: Never mind I didnt read the small letters that said that I've learned some of the technology(Guess tech boost on that certain tech)
Guess I'm to spoiled and used to the goody huts^^

Good morning my friends, i would to know if it's normal or not that all Air Bomb Mission made by early fighter (i'm not arrived yet at modern era with jet figther ) missing the target, and it doesn't appear any information about the mission (failure or not).
After 5 attempts i never succeeded to destroy a farm or a mines

Bye

I try withe jetfighter and i have always the same problem
So i must wait next release to solve this problem?. I see that with new version of RoM i can't bombard structure or industies, why?. In this case the air power is less usable.

Bye

The multiplayer sometimes seems to go out of sync when loading/unloading troops from any sort of transport ships and even when simply selecting loaded transport ships. Also making towns with pioneers (with mp fix installed) seems to sometimes cause the game to go out of sync. These bugs make playing the multiplayer not so pleasant since players have to reconnect every now and then.

In the games we're using RoM 2.51 mega pack with BTS 3.17. All of the revolution mod components are turned off. The participants in the game are all running on 64 bit Vista SP1.

It would seem as though Raging Barbarians no longer spawn for the AIs, rather, just on me. Every time I have spearmean, archers, and warriors spanning back several tiles towards my city, the AI players have none.

Sorry for the double post, but i have an error with the Colonization scenario. I have a message at start, "you have been defeated" in first turn.
With v2.53

Thanks.

To be more specific about this: out of syncs with transport ships seem to happen most frequently if one selects all transports ships in a tile by holding alt key and clicking.

I get a CTD Visual C++ Runtime Error after clicking launch game and waiting for it to load.

This is from the Play Now! option, rather than a custom game which also doesn't work.

I'm fully patched up to 3.17.

Using RoM 2.51

 

[JosEPh_II]

Reinstall the DirectX from the BtS CD.

That has corrected several such reports as yours.

From logs didn't see anything else wrong than that the xml log file was smaller than it should be which sounds like that the game didn't load all mod files. Few things you could try:

1. Try installing mod again
2. hold shift during load to clear out game cache
3. there might be conflict with some other mod which has been installed in custom assets - so if you have any there, you could try removing them and then restart RoM.
4. If any of the above doesn't help, then it might be problem with BUG mod's BugPath.py file which has a small bug that prevents it from function correctly on some Windows systems - but since from your logs I can see that the game loaded BUG mod components, I don't think this is the problem this time.

Have the same Problem as bbm54:

Installed 2.51 and patch 2.52 => no menu

Installed 2.51 without patch 2.52 => no menu

Installed 2.50 without patch 2.52 => works fine

Installed 2.50 and patch 2.52 => works fine


So, the Problem seems to be in the 2.51 Version i guess. What i dont have tried is the combination 2.50 + Civ Addon + patch 2.52.

I installed the latest ROM 2.5, BTS3.17(unaltered original) after making the changes for logging, when I run the game(play now,all random) I get the RevDCM popup, then this

Spoiler :

Same thing happen with the RevDCM mod. Leader will popup twice, it worked fine only once.
Editing the BUG .ini files, which dir? the My Games\Beyond The Sword\ or My Games\Beyond The Sword\BUG? I have it in both.
Here's the logs

I'm hoping that the next version of RoM has the "no interface" problem fixed for all possible windows versions & BtS/Civ 4 Complete.

I have now little suggestion for you. Couple days ago I uploaded v2.6alpha test version for RoM and maybe you could try it and see if it fixes no interface problem for you. The test version can be downloaded from this post.

crypp7: Did you try to Alt-Tab to Windows and then back ? Sometimes it fixes the bug.

Hey Zap,

I would like to implore you not to do the jungle fresh water thing. Whats the bonus when rain water which is fresh then falls in a malaria infested jungle? Please just think this one through.

 

[WRL07]

I have been having one hard time getting the mod to work. For weeks it was no user interface, then I tried deleting the custom assets folder, and I got an interface, excited I got a custom game ready, man I was excited, got my map loaded, played my first turn, then I got a CTD after ending the first turn, every time. The error just drops to desktop, and tells me window is looking for a solution, and then just asks me to send data to microsoft. Frustrating to say the least, so here I am, I'll post a log file as I cannot figure out what is the problem now.

My system specs are as follows

Pentium 4 duo core, roughly 3 GHZ

2 GB of ram

512 MB Nivida 8400 GFX

Well, let's take Mayas and Aztecs as an example - they had huge agricultural areas all made into jungle areas:

Even the rainforest experiences an annual dry season; the trees hang on by tapping groundwater. “The Maya couldn’t use groundwater because it was 500 feet below them, and they had no technology to reach it, so they depended on rainwater.” In the Petén region Sever studies, rainwater accumulates in swamplands, known as bajos, that cover about 40 percent of the landscape. Today, that rainwater evaporates before anyone can use it effectively, but excavations and satellite images have revealed networks of canals among the Cibales or bajos, apparently dug during the time of the Maya. Sever, suspects that the Maya used the canals to redirect and reuse the rainwater.

Besides getting fresh water, which allows you to build farms, jungle plots are still giving unhealthiness to city (which I can of course increase).

I think I got it fixed, I was getting many errors trying to load, I would just hold on enter to pass through them, the custom civs had somehow gotten into my BTS folder??? I took them out, and I'm getting past turn one, so we'll see. Love the mod btw.
