EEP crashes when France is selected

[unmerged(295)]

Okay, I did a fresh install of EU 2 1.07 from the Crown of the North CD. Then I installed EEP 1.4.2 and then unzipped 1.4.2a over it. (Had to do that because without the regular EEP there's no launch icon on the desktop to start EEP!)

When I start a game, picking ANY nation BESIDES FRANCE will allow the game to work just fine.

If I pick France, though, the game crashes on the Initalizing Script part of the load.

What's wrong here? :wacko:

Oh, for the record, I should note that EEP crashes when trying to play France for both 1.4.2 AND 1.4.2a

Okay, THIS is weird -- now suddenly England won't load either!

I'm sorry to hear this. There is another player that had strange problems with the COTN version before, read here. I don't think I can help you more than that, since it does not seem to happen for the normal version.

Well, there's nothing I can do about that. I sold my original copy of EU II when I picked up Crown of the North, since it allready had EU II on it and I did'nt need two copies of the same game.

But strangly enough, I have a friend who ALSO has EU II from Crown and he also has the same EEP version that I do and he is able to play England and France in solo! Even more curious, in multiplayer, I'm able to play France or England! It's only when I try to load those nations in SOLO mode that the game crashes on the 'Initalizing Script' message.

That's why I suspected the problem is somewhere in the EEP files.

Can anyone else help?

Holding for any other ideas. Maybe the next version of the EEP will fix this. I'd also be willing to send my files or PC conditions to anyone.

I don't know if you have installed 1.4.2a version of EEP.

I had the same problems (crash on the "Initialising script" phase of the loading) playing with 1.4.2 on 1520 scenario and the problem doesn't seem to be solved in the latest version. But GC 1419 works well now with 1.4.2a (at least until 1500). No more "Initialising script" CTDs...

Yeah, I have 1.4.2a installed. And I only use the 1419 files.
