"Wrong Symbols" error in WinDbg???

[wotan321]

I have pointed the Symbol File Path to every version of CvGameCoreDLL I can find, and I get this

BUCKET_ID: WRONG_SYMBOLS

FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: CvGameCoreDLL.dll!base_address_c0000005_WRONG_SYMBOLS

Any help would be appreciated. What "symbols" file is this looking for. I am not a programmer, I am a game player who is getting a CTD at the same spot every time, and the log files tell me nothing.

Thanks for any help provided.

Is there a thread that talks about how to load and configure WinDbg to isolate crashes for non-programmers?

Okay.

I found that the symbols can be obtained from the MS website, I will post the locale later since I am talking to myself here a little delay shouldn't matter.

I found Windbg to be very helpful, and after I pointed to the dump file and the symbols and the CvGameCoreDLL file, I did get some useful info. I am still working it out.

The error message Windbg gave me pointed to diplomacy AI but chasing down the error message here on another thread it had been discovered that this error could be caused by putting NONE in the domaintype in the UnitInfos.xml file regarding cargo. If you use specialcargo you also need to put in the domain type right after that tag. I had not done that in some units, and after changing that, the game did NOT crash.

I will be more specific in a later post. I am posting this so if YOU have this trouble, you can figure out a solution. There is little in life more frustrating that playing a scenario for a week and having it crash.
