Save Game load CTD
Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:11 pm
I spent the first week or so after installing ToF and V1.02b experimenting with custom GUI.csv mods and the GUI.png transparency mod. I used the Grand Campaign as my test scenario to learn the interface and controls and to test the mods I was making.
Three days ago when I loaded the last saved game, ToF went partway through the load routine then crashed to the desktop.
Time to re-install.
I re-installed over the existing installation and re-loaded that last gamesave.
Crash to desktop.
I decided that there might be some incompatibility between gamesave files between the versions I had been experimenting upon.
Started a new game (Grand Campaign - Great Britain, Human-Hard, British Colonies, Human-Hard - All other countries AI-standard) played a few turns, saved the game, exited and re-loaded the game.
Crash to desktop.
Time to get serious about this!
Used the Uninstall utility to remove ToF completely.
Used Registry Booster to clean the registry and then de-fragmented the registry.
Re-installed ToFV1.00 and then V1.02b. Started a new game (no saved games left) played part of one gameturn, saved. Played the rest of that gameturn, saved in a new savegame file.
Exited to desktop. Did some other non-ToF stuff.
Started ToF, loaded savegame file.
Crash to desktop.
Started ToF again, loaded the OTHER gamesave file.
Crash to desktop.
In each failure, the savegame red loadbar travels about 4/5ths of the gauge (about level with the GI's knee), waits for a while, then crashes out.
Reading the forum, I found the ConsoleOut.txt and the last line is
"[font="Courier New"][thread: 4268, 0] Critical error at line 139. No city at given coordinates[/font]"
I haven't done ANY modding on cities or locations!
System is Wintel Quad Core (2Gb RAM) XP Home.
Zipped Gamesave folder attached
What should I do now?
