I Have Solved the Game Crash

Jon Shafer · May 11, 2003, 03:47

Thanks to some clues which NYE pointed out and some of my own experience, I solved the problem with the game save. NYE is right, and it did have to do with the Vox-GOW war status.

To solve the problem, I had GOW re-offer peace to Vox, and Vox to do the same on their turn, both accepted. After finishing the Lego turn, the game continued as normal.

*Trip throws PTWDG.BIX into the proverbial trash can in the sky.

I am speechless.

vondrack · May 11, 2003, 03:59

God bless nye and Trip!

All hail our saviours!

We now apparently need someone from GoW to start with (hopefully the last) replay, adding the peace reneg to whatever was originally done during the GoW turn of 570BC.

HALLELUJAH!

Good news!

Thanks for your excellent work.

nbarclay · May 11, 2003, 04:57

Fantastic! Thanks a lot.

Is the bug something that crops up any time a peace treaty hits 20 turns, or only if there is a price attached to the treaty? I know in SP, straight peace treaties with nothing else involved don't require renegotiation at the twenty-turn mark.

DeepO · May 11, 2003, 05:15

Wow, great news Trip [edit: and nye]!

No clue... All that I know is that manually re-negotiating it caused the game not to crash.

In the Pandora PBEM, there was no price attached in the peace treaty, and still the bug occured.

I can play the save, just tell me exactly which year and what I need to do to get it going again.

THIS BETTER WORK...

GhengisFarb™ · May 11, 2003, 09:56

570 doesn't allow me the option of offering a peace treaty. There is still one active.

E_T · May 11, 2003, 10:00

Wow, If this isn't a previously reported bug, then you can call it the Trip/nye Peace Renegotiation Bug. This needs to be reported to Fraxis.

Trip, you might want to keep that bix file around, because what will happen in 20 turns when it gets to the same point with peace.

We are in debt with you

Trip, no effort in the course of Human Events is free. Consider all of that Hard work you did to restore the game as the price that must be payed.

Go to the trade screen, click on "active" at the bottom, and either add or delete what's currently there. I'm not sure exactly what I did, but they should both have the same effect.

Master Zen · May 11, 2003, 15:19

WOW!!!!!

Trip and NYE:

I want to be like you guys when I grow up

They may not be able to do it. Vox may need to do it.

No price required. It happens when the 20 turns expires.

It has been reported to Firaxis.

Trip, nye...

Thank-you!

Now I can get back to some honest war reporting...

Nuclear Winter · May 11, 2003, 17:38

Great job Trip!
We are all in your debt!
Have a good night!

Theseus · May 11, 2003, 21:15

You guys rock.

And now, back to some unfinished business.

alva · May 11, 2003, 23:20

great work guys

/me puts Real-life back on hold

zeit · May 12, 2003, 00:11

This is just great! Trip, NYE- you're the best

For all you anime Otakus out there- because of my utter lack of social life and the fact that this game was off for a while. I got all the episodes of Cowboy Bebob from a friend and watched them. A very well made piece of animation, and the music rocks, but I was quite disturbed by the ending, and now i just can't let go- I can't believe it's over...

If any of you hasn't seen the series, and has a chance to- do so, you won't regret it.

Edit: grammar

Jon Shafer · May 12, 2003, 01:02

Bebop is definitely a good piece of ink.

One of my favorites along with Eva and Trigun.

I know this feeling...
I was feeling the same when I finished watching Full Metal Panic. It was such a cute show, and the visuals were SO ****ING AMAZING, that I just couldn't believe it when it was over.
