Worldbuilder broken

[klazer]

Upon starting worldbuilder after the June patch:

#"unknown argument type in generate map"
"The message GenerateMap cannot be used until the errors are resolved"
"unknown argument type in scatter resources"
"The message scatter resources cannot be used until the errors are resolved"
"unknown argument type in scatter goodies"
"The message scatter goodies cannot be used until the errors are resolved"

I can open existing maps and edit them, provided I don't try and use scatter resources/goodies commands. But you can't make a totally new random map because the generation command is broken. You can make a new map manually, but it is literally that - manual everything (land mass/types, resource placement/type/amounts, ect).

Hello everyone,
I just tried to run the Civilization 5 SdK World Builder for the first time since the last update.
When I opened it, i recieved six Error Messages in a Row:

Unknown argument type "UnkownType" [sic!] in message "GenerateMap"
The message GenerateMap can not be used unit [sic!] the errors are resolved
Unknown argument type "UnkownType" in message "ScatterResources"
The message ScatterResources can not be used unit the errors are resolved
Unknown argument type "UnkownType" in message "Scatter Goodies"
The message Scatter Goodies can not be used unit the errors are resolved

After that, the World Builder starts, I can open existing maps, but I cannot
randomly generate new ones. When I try to generate a map, I get this error Message:


Note:
Failed to send GenerateMap:
Message type "GenerateMap" was not found.

Exception: System.Exception
Source: NexusConnection
Thread: Main Thread
Description: Message type "GenerateMap" was not found.

Stack Trace:
bei Firaxis.Nexus.Client.SendMessage(String sMessageName, Object[] args)


I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but it didn't help.
Maybe someone knows what to do?

Is this normal? I uninstalled from steam and re-installed it and I get 'map maker not found' message and I am unable to use the editing tool. Do I need to updated it somehow or will it get fixed at a later date?

Whenever I start it up, it says "Unknown arguement type "Unknown arguement" in message "GenerateMap"". It also says the same for ScatterResources and ScatterGoodies.

Anybody know why and how to fix it? I have tried reinstalling the SDK, didn't help.

[Formulapower]

Same Here guys....anyone found a fix??

 

[1jax15]

Same... very disappointing, I love making maps just as much as playing Civ 5.

A question:

Does this affect Fire Tuner at all? I want to be able to change some settings and experiment during my 1st game (I just bought it tonight).

 

[TopGearFanatic]

I have this problem too, but I can't have Stone in my game or anything. The icon won't show up.

When I first load the SDK and run the world builder, I get several errors, then I start a new map, click the "generate with..." button and get another error with the following details.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the SDK with no luck. I run Windows 7 64-bit on a Core 2 Duo E7500 4GB of RAM. I have attached pictures of the errors I receive.

 

[Larsenex]

Do we have any kind of ETA on when we can get a hotfix for this? I really enjoy building custom maps and runing my own senarios...

 

[lisasmom]

I'm having the same issue with the same error codes. Evidently, the latest patch caused problems with the World Builder. It would be nice if they fixed it. The problem has been reported on numerous sites. You might try writing to 2K support with the issue.

And no need to notice the devs about the problem, they are, like you can see in the thread, aware of the problem.

 

[MAGBaxter]

Ok, i think we can all agree that everyone is having this problem myself include and a patch will be realesed very soon, maybe tommorow.
