[WorldBuilder] Unofficial Updates / Modifications

[JeBuS27]

Does it give any additional info? I'm running it on Win7x64 myself, so I doubt that's the issue.

I don't know if this will help you at all, annoys me though. I don't usually have problems that seem so simple.

Various sources found via google suggest this is a .NET Framework issue. Some folks have reported success in downloading the latest version or repairing existing version.

 

[Soduka]

I repaired .NET 4.0 and 3.5, Windows won't let me install 3.0 as it says you can do that through the Control Panel. Did that, still nothing.

 

[JeBuS27]

Well that's disappointing. That crash report really doesn't give me much to go on. The only thing I can think of now gets a bit technical, and involves downloading MS's debugging tools from here.

The original Firaxis WB worked for you, right?

I'll try. And yes, the original boots up fine.

 

[Soduka]

Which tool should I be using, and what should I be looking for exactly?

 

[JeBuS27]

WinDbg is the tool

You'd want to do File->Open Executable and choose WB. It should then attempt to run it.

I re-jiggered some of the dependencies in the attached version. If you could try that one and let me know.

New report on the new .exe, which appears to be the same thing. I'm missing a symbol?

 

[JeBuS27]

Well, I'm stumped. The only thing I can think of now is trying to set it to run in XP SP3 compatibility mode. I doubt that will do anything at all, though.

Actually, I just managed to get the same crash report you did by changing the exe name. Did you rename my new exe to something other than WorldBuilder.exe?

 

[Soduka]

No, I just unzipped it.

 

[JeBuS27]

Well, I'm definitely out of ideas for now. I'll take a look at it some more in a few hours. If you come across anything else, let me know.

 

[jooyo]

I have the same errors like Soduka's and World Builder crashes. I have Win7 x86. Unmodified WB works without problems.

 

[JeBuS27]

Well, I did some more tinkering trying to fix this problem. The attached zip has 2 exe files. They're basically the same except for code signing, which is pretty much the last idea I have before I put this project on hold until I can reproduce the problem myself. So, if you could extract the 2 exes into your WB directory and try them, that would be great.

 

[civ5crazy]

i can confirm v3 on win7 x64 did not work. I have downloaded the v4 and they both work for me the unsigned and the other.

 

[JeBuS27]

Thanks, civ5crazy. Good to know something works, finally. I'll update the file elsewhere with that one.

 

[jooyo]

Win7 x86 both in v4 works! hooray!

 

[Soduka]

Congrats, the unsigned one worked. Seems like it was a tricky problem, great job.
