"Add New Empire" crashes game |
Hi there!
I have stopped playing SEV for a few months.
Now I installed patch 1.74 and behold: whenever I click "Add Empire" in game setup, the game crashes with
Access violation at address 005712A - read of address 00000038
Is there anybody having the same problems?
BTW: Crashes on Balance mod as well as Standard SEV.
Re: "Add New Empire" crashes game
Firstly: thank you.
I have tried deleting a few modified empires from the empires-folder and behold - I was able to add empires.
Then I switched to Balance-Mod and the game crashed again.
I deleted Balance-Mod, too. No problems since then (up to now).
Still the question remains: is the reason for these crashes Balance-Mod, faulty ship-sets or some other source, possibly related to patch 1.74? After all, before 1.74 and Balance-Mod everything was fine, including the shipsets.
All other programs on the computer run as usual, so I am pretty sure Windows and the hardware are OK - as much as a Windows environment can ever be said to be OK...

Excuse me, but might you be trying to add an empire made with another mod? If the set ups are really different then it will crash when it tries to understand an empire with traits it doesn't know. If you are just clicking to add (and choose ) a new empire then I can't say what the problem is.

Well, if he's actually using the Add New Empire button, then no... Add New Empire makes one from scratch. To load an existing empire he'd have to be using "Load Empire from File"

ah right. Sorry.

Maybe a shipset issue. It does this if a shipset is incomplete.
