Implications of path length CTD discovery

[Kull]

Bovi and I were discussing this with makanyane in the TWC thread that finally led to this breakthrough, and her theory is it's related to certain climates, specifically:

that's starting to sound like it's ones which didn't start out having 'winter' in descr_climates.txt

Does RTW (and thus EB1) have the same file, and does it include some climates that have winter and others that don't? Why yes, yes it does. Again, that doesn't mean there's a definitive link. But am I changing my directory to C:\EB1? Why yes, yes I am.

I've changed mine to D:/EB (it was crazy huge before) and while I haven't played much since, at first glance it seems much more stable now (without needing to resort to other tricks I did before to avoid CTDs all the time)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha, and here I am playing EB via C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common....

I feel dumb now :D

So how do I go about this? should I just install EB to C:\EB instead of the RTW folder?

No need to reinstall, just move your RTW folder to C:/ and rename it EB. And then change the destination on the Single Player and Multi Player shortcuts.

does not seem to work with steam :/

Thanks but no, I actually outsourced some of my games onto SD cards that way, but it basically only takes "Program Files (x86)" out of the equasion. It's a start but the "\Steam\SteamApps\common" persists.
