ANCIENT TW - MAPS

[macsen rufus]

Hi Western,

Glad to hear you like the new map - after playing on it for a while, I think even I now prefer it

As for the crash, I don't have any definite ideas, and I'm afraid I'm not sufficiently techy to make any sense of the error report. Maybe a quick googling of "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" might shed some light...

But for now, let's see what we do know:

1. It's ONLY Successors campaign
2. It's at the end of turn one BEFORE any king portraits show up
3. It affects ALL factions (assuming you've checked all - this is probably the first thing to confirm)

Things I would check:

1. Custom battles - do these work for all factions in Successors era?
2. At campaign start, can you safely reveal the whole map (either with .matteosartori. or G if you play in the -ian mode)?
3. I doubt it's any different but have you tried it with both versions of the map (I have used the new map in my development copy, but not in my v0.91 install, so I can't rule it out as 'known to work' for me yet)?
4. Can you switch to rebels? (Again, assuming -ian mode, and based on it occurring before any faction starts 'thinking')
5. Could it be Steam-related (I assume you've fixed the resolution as per your issue with the Beta install)?

If you could check those, it should help us narrow down what's happening


Edit to add: it seems to relate to Java, from what I've found on a quick googling - I doubt very much that the fix will be in the Java end of things, though. It's probably something within the scenario that's throwing the exception. Did it leave an error report file on your desktop, and if so, what's its file name?
