Here There Be Snakes: Bug Reports & Tech Help

[Gigantus]

You can leave the quotes out completely, they have no influence on game play - the game will then use the original quotes you see in the main campaign. You will however also need to remove the data\descr_quotes_lookup.txt file (if present) to avoid any issues.

Is there a way to pass minor events as everytime i defeat Norway i get CTD and i cant seem to fnd a work around for this ? i have used both steam version and cracked version and both versions even though on different hard drives cause the same issue. I also used to have alot of issues previously as you may remember my name but i have a whole new pc now and thought maybe it was my old setup causing the isssue but it would seem maybe the "Scotland" campaign is totally unplayable no matter what you do ? i can send crash info if you need be but i can assure you its CTD with the minor event defeat Norway.

sorry dont know why it duplicated, also i noticed you dont have the file LN_Lmail_Hmail_scotland.texture and i cant seem to download this manually, perhaps is this missingh file leading to the CTD's ?

i gave up but tried again on a different set up. i strongly believe on gigantus 1.7 installer there is a glitch in the norweigen team.. a faction leader that when you kill it CTD's straight away giving the error in the log of ...

I have tried this on different pc's and hard dives and all kinds of different set ups and allways no matter what when you kill norway this happens.

Once again playing the campain as Scotland on the gig 1.7 steam installer and all is well until once again i kill the norweigens and then ctd. I used the command surrender regions and it lets me kill norway however when i end turn i get ....

When i remove any trggers from export_descr_traits it CTD's upon loading the saved file in game and leaves ... i cant remove anything from this file or the game wont load is what i mean.

You can remove the triggers, but not the traits themselves - the latter will cause a crash. The trigger section starts where he find the first mentioning of trigger - it looks somewhat like this:

Everything from there to the bottom can be deleted without problem. Maybe it's an issue with your editor - only use Notepad. Almost any other editor leaves hidden formatting that messes up the file.

hey i just seen this as to be fair i kinda gave up the last time however i have posted on the forum and then i seen this message, however on the forum i stated after a restart and using the command surrender regions i still get CTD at the turn end even though the game recognises Norway as defeated. i posted the error log onto the forum but i can repost it here if need be and the the last time when you asked me to deleted the triggers and i can retry this as i now have better knowledge of how it all works and i am sure i can get it working as you requested but i will wait for a reply before doing that as it comes up with an error this time and you may know a better way of resolving it it now.

Game works fine started new game and my save and when i kill or remove Norway via killing ingame or surrender regions command.. CTD's at the end of end of turn even if i do surrender region on turn one and get rid of norway although doing that doesnt come up with the devastation error it just says unspecified and will now exit.
