Year in History bugged?

[Dirkki]

Hello

I downloaded the EB once again. Played a long time ago and couldn't remember why I stopped.

It all came back to me now, as I'm around year 269 BC. Suddenly when I end my turn, all the Year in Histories open up to the left of the screens, all of them!

After that turn, no more Year in Histories appear. I stopped playing after this "event" last time, because I guess the script isn't working?

Now this happens again. Is the script messed or why does this happen? I have pressed the "show me how" button everytime I load the game and I have only played Baktria and Romani and quitted the game, between loading the factions.

How do I know that the script is still working or not? Would hate to start again.

Welcome to the forum!

You can check to see if the script is working by starting it via the advisor and opening the console, there you press CURSOR_UP, if it says something about season:... the script is up and running.
Normally this kind of error happens if the script is activated during Ai turns, after a turn without activation or due to a bugged installation.
Please run validateInstall.bat found in your main RTW folder an post your results here.

The console stated: season winter, which I guess would indicate that the script is still up and running. There is also still a four seasons per year, so I think everything is ok?

Regarding the validateinstall.bat. I run that and it produced a huge log and this forum doesn't even support so many characters to copy it all here. I don't understand why it is stating, that I don't have an original install. EB 1.1, 1.2. + the fixes was installed on top of a clean install of RTW 1.5, which has not been modified in anyway before. I bought the gamersgate Gold Edition (about 3 euros!), but I didn't install the Alexander expansion. Installation is not in the program files, but on the D-drive of my laptop.

Here's the opening line from the log and few starting lines:

You don't have an original installation; There are changes to files, or some are missing.
However, these may be conscious changes you have made, to remod EB. See below for details.
