Dead Islands eh? Could be worse I guess... you could have modded the map to add the provinces of Innsmouth and Arkham
Oh, oh... Arkham? Of course!
Nyarlathotep... Nyarlathotep...- Sword
Yep, there is definitely some problem. I'm working on it. I'll post some saves to the dev team soon. Sorry chaps, that's what betas are for.

I guess it has been mentioned, but it is normal that the game starts in 1936? If not, how can i fix it?
It's normal yes. There's an event shortly after you start the game, about a group of merchants making a new calendar and such. i guess it's a limitation of the game engine.
Yes, but the limit exists in HoI2. AFAIK there shouldn't be a problem to use the proper years in DH.
yes but you would have to modify ALL the event, ai, general and scenario files. that is alot of work
as this mod was originally done for HOI2, the year had to be 1936. DH removed this limit, but the years were changed, that would mean everything has to be changed, and as Namuseta says, that is a lot of work

Nah, it is not the same like changing province IDs. You had to change "year = 1XXX" by "year =2XXX" (events, ai, scenario files) via script and dates in database files. I think that's all. Did I miss something?
Not a problem, since year are given also as "year = XXXX".
Have you ever used notepad+? There you can erase one entry in many files at once. Ok, you have to use RegEx codes for that. If there is an interest I can show you how to do that.
IIRC, the game is supposed to start in 2245. I know it's nitpicking and all, but it might be a good idea to make sure to avoid having the game start in 2936
It's not about replacing things, it's about adding 309 to every year in every possible file... If you try to replace 1936 with 2245, then you will also replace event21936 with event22245, so replacing is out of the question
PS. I use Notepad++ exclusively

Yeah that's why you had to replace 'year = 1936' by 'year = 2245' and not '1936' by '2245' only.
Savegame crash :/
Hellow again. I started again after patching DH to 1.02.b1 and yet again around year 1943 the game crashes when I load the savegame. Also, still playing the Enclave so this is too big a coincidence I think.
My previous game, after fixing the convoy auto resupply, also crashed around 1943.
I've uploaded the savegames here http://www.mediafire.com/?7g9yp38ci704u9c
The corrupted ones are "enclave 1 march 1938" and "oldautosave", both were made in the year 1943 from the short description.
Hope this helps fix any possible bugs and it would be really great if you could fix it somehow :/
Thanks!

Santa, did you start a new game after patching or loaded up you old one? That could be a cause for the crashes
@Mars
I did play the old save after patching it and it crashed in a few hours, so I assumed the patch changes many things is not compatible with older saves.
After this, I installed a fresh copy of DH 1.02.b1 and FoDD 2.0.3 on the laptop and started a new enclave game, the one i uploaded above.
If I remember corectly, the previous uploaded save was around year 1942, few hours of play and I was in 1943, when it crashed same as this new save. There could be a bug somewhere in the events or something.
Note: I haven't done any editing of the files or installing any aditional mods except DH and FoDD.
