Crash after restarting the game in a new climate

Post by Ilya873 »

Good afternoon. Added new climates to the game. At the first start everything works fine, but if you start a new game (on any climate), the game crashes with the following error:

All new climates are in the "Terrain" folder:

What could be wrong?

Do you have the "Terrain" folder unpacked or what? All these files should be packed in the .zip file that is already in the game folders. Files (with some exceptions) shouldn't be left unpacked in EE2.

Of course it is in the archive. Otherwise the climate would not work.

After playing in a new climate, if you start a new game, it crashes.

It crashes at the place in code, where it's checking / reading a string with "terr_Temperate_0", "terr_Temperate_4", etc.

Here are the screenshots:

There must be something incorrect in the new climate files you added. Maybe there's something missing as well.

Unfortunately that's all I could check. It's not easy to analyze crashes from the Unhandled Exception codes. As first try to search for "terr_Temperate_0" and see what file uses it. Then check if other climates have a similar one.
