Game freeze at "reading scenario".

[metalinvader665]

I think this is where this goes...

I have CKDV on a Windows 7 machine, and I'm using DVIP, with my own changes. These changes are modifying the character name list and adding several dynasties, following the exact procedures noted in the modding help guide, among others on this forum, but I've noticed that if I make any change to the dynasties.txt file, even just changing a name, the game will also hang at "reading scenario."

Nothing comes up when it freezes, but when it does, I have to use task manager to close the game, which is listed as "not responding." I have no clue what is causing this.

Thanks for any help I can get.

You mean, you only get this freeze when you mod the game ?

 

[metalinvader665]

Yes. I can run the game, or any mods, but whenever I've edited a file, it comes up with a freeze.

This error sounds like you forget an } somewhere in dynasties.txt file. Check your modified dynasties to see if they all end with an }

I think I did that, but, here, I'll show you an example of a modded dynasty:
dynasty = {
id = { type = 12 id = 111125 }
name = "xxxxxxxxx"
province = { 241 242 244 245 246 247 }

Which misses an } at the end, if you count them you have 3 x { and 2 x }. It should look like this

dynasty = {
	id = { type = 12 id = 111125 }
	name = "xxxxxxxxx"
  	province = { 241 242 244 245 246 247 }
               [COLOR="lime"] }[/COLOR]

Just tried your text, and it still crashes regardless. As I said before, any sort of edit on any file crashes the game. Maybe it has something to do with the User Account Controls? My game is not in "Program Files", if that helps.

I have encountered the same thing in the 2.0 version with a dynasty that ended up as King of Croatia and others. It does it for all of my autosaves and my last normal save. I have never encountered this before and have not tried to mod anything. Mine lists fatal error in the taskbar, but it never pops up and the game must also be stopped with taskmanager. I will be downloading the 2.1 beta now, but I thought you should know it likely has nothing to do with mods.
