Help! Game crashes when battle starts!

[ShadowStriker]

Everytime i try to start a battle whether campaign or not, the game screen simply turns black and when i press esc it goes out of the game, happens every time!

You've used the unpacker and forgot to delete these files:

data\descr_geography_new.txt & data\descr_geography_new.db


THIS THREAD HAS BEEN P-P-P-PWNED!

[ShadowStriker]

so i just delete them and redo the unpacker?

[OMGLAZERS]

No, delete them, do not rerun the unpacker.

For some dumb reason, the unpacker puts bugged files in there. Just get rid of them completely.

[ShadowStriker]

ok, thanks :D!

[OMGLAZERS]

ok, thanks :D!

If you have a third problem, PM me.

I feel like going for a hat trick here :P

[ShadowStriker]

You know... I had the exact same problem.

I remember that I deleted the files at some point, but I also remember that I had unpacked twice in the beginning, though after I had done a lot of testing and modding and other stuff... So I thought I was in the safe for this one because I was sure I had done it (which I had).

I was really wondering if my G-card was the problem. But since nobody else mentioned having this specific problem (battles crashing but not campaigns), I didn't know that it was related to this.

Lo and belod, there were indeed two lousy files that fucked up everything!

Thanks from a frustrated modder.

Let me proceed to do a little shimmy shake to the left.

And if time permits, a little shimmy shake to the right.

p.s. I own this thread.

Ah, so THAT is why I abandoned all my late-night modding, thinking I had seriously screwed something up, uninstalled and then re-installed the whole game + patch + mod. Great. Thanks for the info.

Now excuse me while I vent some excess frustration. SON OF A !!!

Feel better already. Back to modding.
