Strange freezes when clicking on world map

**geala** · February 06, 2015, 01:05 PM

I have a strange problem. When I start a new campaign all is fine for several turns until I close R2TW and then try to carry on with the campaign or load a savegame. The savegame loads and I can see the worldmap but as soon as I click on a campaign figure (city, agent, general) the game freezes and I have to close it with the task manager. Never had this before. I use 1.04 standalone with KAMs Battle mod, the spec range mod and a naval overhaul mod, GEM and Dynamic Music. What could be the reason for the freeze, what files could be responsible for such a behavior?

I would recommend deactivating some of the other mods and testing to see if it still happens.

What is sure now is that neither DeI nor KAMs mod nor other foreign mods cause the problem. Must be my own changes. It's strange because they did not cause problems before I used 1.04. That will be a lot of work tomorrow. I have no idea what kind of changes in the db could produce such a freeze. What happens seemingly is that some information of the savegame is not loaded correctly because the loading of the corrupt save is much faster than in the case of correct loading.

I am having the same issues with my existing campaign, I was playing last night without issue, but it looks like the main DEI mod updated today and now my game crashes when selecting objects on the map.

It happened to me as well. Did you guys just complete a reform?

Happened to me as well when using the patches prior to the release of 1.04. What 'fixed' it for me seems unrelated; I'm now running R2 in windowed mode and using a program called 'gamers window relocator' to make the game full screen. Can't remember why i tried this, but i think because the issue reminded me of my R2 crossfire adventures. Now i am only getting the occasional end turn crash so im happy.

It's something in the new release that is doing it.

to everyone having problems getting their save games to work make sure you don´t have any reform submods prior to 1.04 activated. If your save game crashes after you have clicked on anything on the world map try the fix below.

- Either using a camera/script mod or other rare occurrences could bug your scripts. To fix them, download this pack: http://www.mediafire.com/download/fd...forms_fix.pack . To use the fix, put the pack in your data folder and activate it. Load it before the main mod pack and load your save. Save the game (don't click on anything only escape and save or quick save), quit and deactivate the fix pack. Start your campaign without the fix pack, it should be fixed.

1) I created a reform submod (just changed the imperium level requirements) from 1.04, and it happened.

2) Tried the fix, and still didn't work. I have no other mods running except for DEI and the reform mod I created.

Thanks.

I started another game, using just the DeI mod. Same thing happened around turn 40. I tried the fix you posted, and it still crashes. This was happening with the WIP patch, hence why I never used it. No clue why this is happening.

use this fix, rename and load before DeI, if it still crashes upload the DeI_Reform.log from your main Rome 2 folder

Should I try 1.04a first?

EDIT: I started a new game for the purpose of reaching turn 40. Around turn 40, I saved and exited the game. I then went back in, and loaded that save. Upon loading, if I clicked on anything, the game would freeze.

I activated the mod and loaded it before 1.04A. Still no luck. The only reform file that I have listed is ; "DeI_Saka_Reform_Log"

And all that is listed is - Divide et Impera Saka Reform Log

you are using a mod that breaks the scripts. Please check your data folder. The DeI_Reform.log has to be in your Rome 2 main folder, otherwise most of the scripts are not working.

You can upload a broken save game and I can take a look what happened.

I ended up uninstalling everything, wiping the folder completely off my drive, then reinstalling it. I am on turn 44 now, and not having any problems.

Something got messed up, appreciate your help.

I am glad you figured it out.

For me it was also a problem with a script, not within the db. I had changed the lua.script and a normal script dealing with the reforms, where I shortened the time for reforms and put a unit (which I had modded to a totally different one) from the Thorax to the Thureos reforms. In the end I deleted my scripts and used the DeI ones unchanged, I simply modded a different unit to my delight that comes with the Thureos reform. That's not exactly the solution for the problem but it's a solution.
