Random CTD on the campaign map

**Meneldil** · 08-18-2005, 17:14

I already had this problem a while ago, and didn't find a way to solve it. Now, I'm making regions for the age of vikings and fanatics mod, and I once again face random CTD when scrolling over the campaign map.

Ie :

On map #1, nothing special happens. I can scroll wherever I want without trouble.
But if I add a new province in southern france (map #2) and scroll over Calais, it does CTD. If I delete the new region, and create another one anywhere near France (British isles, Spain or Germany), it will also CTD when I'll scroll over a random region in France.

What could be the problem here ? I'm totally lost, since if there's something buggy, it should CTD with map #1

I had no problem when I created new provinces in Danemark or in Turkey, it only happens when the new province is placed not far away from France, and the CTD's only happen when I scroll over France.

Anyone already experienced that and found a way to fix the problem (if it may be solved) ?

No idea ?

Unfortunately... no idea.

All my problems with CTD are not related to scrolling over the map. They come from end of turn or simply before map loading.
Sorry mate, but I'm not of help.

Sadly, it's not a culture problem, or it would CTD before I add the province. Furthermore, it doesn't ctd when I scroll over the new province, but when I scroll over a previously working one...

I had the same happening when the settlement was of a faction (descr_regions.txt) not present in descr_strat.

For example:

If I add this province:

Britannia_Inferior
Eburacum
britons
Brigantes
232 41 198
lead, dogs, pigs
5
5

But if the britons are not present in descr_strat then the game will CTD when scrolling over the settlement.

Edit: you said it CTDs when scrolling over a random settlement... now that is odd...

Even more weird, the problem disapear when I add other settlements.

I had the same problem while adding provinces in the middle east, so I started to create new regions in Russia, and now the middle east is working

The problem is solved, but I don't know why and how.

My guess would be that the game is bugged when there are less than a given amount of provinces, but it sounds weird, since I've seen some campaigns with only 4 or 5 provinces working.
