Twilight of the Arnor, crash while loading save games

April 18, 2011 7:14:50 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Hi,

I recently dug out GalCiv2 again (or rather, I decided to redownload and give it a spin again...nights have become short again ). Unfortunately, Twilight of the Arnor crashes on me when loading my last save game (Quicksave), and also crashes on loading the Autosave from the start of the turn.

Seems there are problems with Peacekeeper ship designs not being found?

It's too bad because it was a pretty interesting game for me. Hope this gets fixed, eventually. It's a real gamebreaker for me, after investing a couple days of playing into the map.

 

My debug.err looks like this:

  Have you tried loading the previous autosave?

I tried loading what I had available, no luck, sadly.

  Try setting your desktop to 1280 x 1024 before you start the game;  or change the .ini file settings (which someone else in this forum succeded with).

The game starts up and runs fine. I can start any other game (and in fact I have in the meantime played several). Desktop resolution seems unrelated to this part which is the bit the error log ends on:

 

Debug Message:  Can't find ship type  in definitions

I'm not trying to get advice on how to get the game itself to run. It runs fine. I encountered a bug in a game I played, and wanted to direct some developer attention to it.

  I've seen somewhere in this forum that you can send a savegame to a developer.  About 1% of my GalCivII(DA) games get to such a point where they always crash even after reloading saved games.
