Victoria crashes
I just tried using eu2Vic but it caused the game to crash. I have shown the exact error message below.
Critical Error!
Error: (Country: Unexpected field) 'slaves = yes' Line =105350 file = scenarios\save games\ottomantest.eug -- Do you still want to continue?
Abort Retry Ignore
I chose Ignore. When that crashed the game, I restarted it and chose Retry, with the same result.
I was using a clean install of vanilla Victoria and the latest version of eu2Vic as found in this thread. I have not bothered to install VIP1.03c yet, I first wanted to see if eu2Vic works before installing mods and editing files. Am I doing something wrong; have I left out a step or two, or does the latest eu2Vic not know how to convert the pops yet? When it asked me to check off the 'convert' box, I did.
Reading through the threads on this utility, I was very impressed and looking forward to trying it out. It seems that the vast majority of people are not having problems with it, so I am wondering why I did.

Problem Solved
I just got eu2Vic to work. There were two things I did differently this time. I uninstalled vanilla and reinstalled it, then installed all the patches up to and including Victoria 1.03c and VIP 0.3c. Then I opened eu2Vic and saved the EU2 game I had been playing. This time, (and I think this is the factor which caused the crash before) I noticed that the save box comes up twice. I only saved the first time, not the second time. The first time, eu2Vic asks you to convert a *.eug from EU2 and save it as a Vic *.eug. After it does that, it asks you to save the file again. I didn't. Now it works.
I am amazed at all the work that must have gone into making this application. Thanks, guys! I am looking forward to trying a game in which there is no USA sucking up all the immigrants in the world.

This may have been addressed before, but what happens if you're playing with Byzantium or some other nation that is not around in Vicky?
Hagie Sophia said:
They are merged with countries that did exist in Victoria. Byzantium is merged with Greece. If you want to play on with the name Byzantium and the Byzantium flag you need to change some files. I believe there is a how-to in the sticky of the EU2VIC forum.
