Your help required (especially if you couldn't open the password GOTM1 file)

[Xevious]

Well, Gwyned's looks exactly the same as mine. We both have the same differring unsorted and sorted checksums.

I found teh following description for how to change the sort order in win98, but I was unable to break my own setup using it in XP (tried to make it sort by modified date instead of name)..
What OS are you all using?

I'm using XP home, with SP2.

Please note that, if you are having problems opening the password protected file, you'll have to email me (gotm_submit@civfanatics.net) and ainwood (gotm@civfanatics.net) to get an unprotected file. Posting here will provide the data ainwood needs to analyse the issue, but won't get you started on the game until he's able to fix it.

 

[Xevious]

I haven't emailed yet because I'm not ready to start and if a fix is found before then I'd prefer to use the fixed version.

 

[AlanH]

No problem, I just wanted to avoid any misunderstanding

 

[ainwood]

Thanks very much for the feedback / support on this people. I'm starting to get a pretty-solid set of evidence for my hypothesis (that the problems are caused by the sort-order that the OS returns the list of files in).

Can't load GOTM 2, because of password protection verification error. Here's the log: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads10/log.rar.zip

I get the same error message with gotm2 as I did with gotm 1. I'll download Framework Net at work tomorrow when I have some bandwidth to play with and post the report when I can.

Its not necessary if its a lot of work - I have enough files now.

Have you two (parachute4u & thip) e-mailed me? If so, I've sent the saves. If not, then please do so. (gotm@civfanatics.net)

Here's my log... The weird part is I was able to play GOTM1 with no problems at all.

Here's my logfile...

Can't open the save... Haven't modified (at least willingly) any assets in the install folders. I loaded GOTM1 without problems.

Here's my Asset Check.

Have you sent us an e-mail to gotm<at>civfanatics.net or gotm_submit<at>civfanatics.net? If not, then please do so, and we'll send you an unprotected save.

 

[Specialj]

Email has been sent as well. Problem loading GOTM2, no problem with GOTM1. Here is the result file.

 

[Shqype]

NET v2.0. I had no problems playing the first GOTM. But now the 2nd one gives me the password protected assets issue.

I'll email right now.

 

[kimme]

Ran your utility as I can't get the save file of gotm 2 to work, and here's my results.

ps: As I have the Norwegian Windows version, there's only framework version 1 available here.

Tried reinstalling and repatching civ 4 but still no luck. Heres the the file, hope you can figure out what is wrong. Not tried Gotm1. Thanks for the Help.
