[OHgamer]

[OHgamer]

no you should have 3 scenarios to choose from in addition, called "VIP:R Grand Campaign v 0.2", "VIP:R Grand Campaign v 0.2 Multiplayer" and "VIP:R Grand Campaign v 0.2 Lite" those are the 3 VIP campaigns (lite means the game will not fire flavor events, the multiplayer is for those who want to play VIP in multiplayer).

did you remember to change the destination to where the contents of the .exe would download. The default is to create a separate folder on your HD called VIP:R 0.2, which means when you play Victoria you will not have any VIP files installed. You have to manually change the destination where you want the .exe to download the contents. (the reason we have it set up this way and require players to manually set the destination is due to the large number of different publishers of Victoria, which means that there is no one standard directory listing that would apply for all gamers - in North America Victoria is kept in the Strategy First folder, while in Europe it's (usually) Paradox Interactive).

Preferably, this will be in a desktop copy of Victoria:Revolutions you have created, as we outline in post #4 of this thread and in the instructions that come with the .exe as you start it.

Ok Ive tried it with clean copies of everything. I have the original victoria, I have revolutions from Gamersgate, I have VIPR01classic and VIPR0.2. What order and where do I need to install them to get this to work, please?

Tried it yesterday. *excellent*

 

[egslim]

got your save, can't figure out the problem, i've run your save several times and it does not crash - PRU gets all the lands perfectly fine.

are you running alot in the background? What are your system specs? It might be a data spike causing a memory overload causing the CTD. but that is just theorizing here, all i know is Prussia annexed Holstein and the rest of the German minors that accepted perfectly fine.

Bizarre.

It gets even weirder.

I use a Core2Duo 8500 with 2GB RAM, 10k rpm Raptor hard drive and 8800 graphics card.
In the background I have little, the taskmanager shows 41 processes using 460MB memory total.

Here's what I tried:
- Ran memtest86 all night, no memory errors.
- De-installed Victoria entirely.
- Through gamersgate installed Victoria, then Victoria - Revolutions.
- Installed VIPR01, then VIPR02, then Bebro's sprites.
- Loaded the April 15 savegame, crashed the next day.

The error log says:

Vastgelopen toepassing: victoria.exe, versie: 1.0.0.2, vastgelopen module: victoria.exe, versie: 1.0.0.2, vastgelopen op: 0x000543db.

(vastgelopen = crashed)
The "0x000543db" adress is the same everytime, perhaps there's a clue.

edited to add:
- Booted Windows (XP) in safe mode, then ran Victoria (hurray for 2D games). It still crashed, so that eliminates background software as a possible cause.

The second seminole war event raises the militancy of Cherokee in Tampa.

Unfortunately for the rebels, there are no Cherokee there, only Seminole...

I think, add "NOT = { flag = { name = flg_PRU_AUS_2 value = 1 } }" to the trigger of The London Protocol event (247503/165503) can fix this.

Does anyone have a link to the last VIP download before revolutions? I have a saved game I want to finish that wont work with Revolutions

 

[OHgamer]

As noted in the first post of this thread :

Victoria:Revoltions 2.01 + VIP:R 0.1 + VIP:R 0.2

that is the correct install order for VIP.

And you do not need to install any of the hotfixes for VIP:R 0.1 or Victoria:Revoltions 2.01 before adding VIP:R 0.2

And as we note in post #4 in this thread, best thing is to create a desktop copy of your Revolutions folder and then install VIP into the desktop copy and play it from desktop.

Cpappa - did that event cause your game to end.

If not, do you have a savegame file from after it fired. If so, PM me I need to look at it to track down exactly which event caused the issue.

 

[OHgamer]

Yes, I can understand that. In reality the Southern Alberta tribes would have assimilated into Blackfoot (at least in Ft.Macleod). But the Dakota out of nowhere really jumped out at me!

there does seem to be a preference for assimilating to the first culture listed among the national cultures. Again I don't know why, it appears to be something in the exe, and may be connected also to the .exe perhaps not recognizing the newly added cultures as fully state cultures in regards the question of assimilation (since they are mostly user-created cultures, there might be something in the .exe code that is not including them in the "do not assimilate if national culture" lines, so they are being treated as assimilatable.)

Honestly, can not say what the issue is here - the game does not crash for me.

Perhaps start a completely new game again and see if the problem happens again??? not the best solution, but since I can not duplicate, I dunno what else to recommend.

realist art should def not be happening more than once, since it is an invention.

How fast are you playing the game, and are you doing as we recommend and stopping and saving every few years?

it seems the file name in the \db\leaders have got some problems

leaders.aus
leaders.aus.txt
leaders.brz
leaders.brz.brz
leaders.CHI
leaders.chi.CHI
leaders.dai.txt
leaders.egy.egy
leaders.eng.eng

etc...

are the leaders not loading up?

I use open office, so i hope that isn't causing the problem with the leader files.

 

[unmerged(12990)]

I orient myself by playing Austria. Some sweeet new additions to 1848, like Croatia and Bohemia-Moravia.
This really is a pain in the ass now, I'm streched to the limit... then that pesky end-serfdom event comes up and I just payed 10000, while my treasury was already at only +50, and about 4000 in debt. Nice.

EDIT: well Croatia just accepted peace with Prussia who was alliance leader and they made her their vassals... looks kinda silly, but I guess I'll just annex Croatia then in 1866, if not sooner.

are the leaders not loading up?

I use open office, so i hope that isn't causing the problem with the leader files.

It seems that the newest files have a double ending.
The copy i have on my computer list the last modified date of leaders.brz as 7-5-2007 and the same for leaders.brz.brz as 3-4-2008.

Perhaps openoffice adds the extra ending when you save the file, or something similar.

The file with the double ending has a lot of prictures added, and since its the newest this must be the one you want the game to read.
But if i had to guess it's the other one the game loads, the one with the singular ending.

 

[Dietmar1982]

And now that i'm looking in there i noticed that the brazillian admiral "Marques de Tamandaré" has the wrong picture name.
in the new file it's "picture = brz_adminar_tamandare" and in the old it's "picture = tamandare"
The only picture i could find is named, "brz_adm_tamandare" so both are wrong.

the leader id is 16304
