:( I can't play the GC anymore! :(

[crusaderknight]

Hello all. I have a big problem here. Whenever I try to load either my own variant of the GC, or the GC itself the game gets all the way to the "reading scenario" part, then it stops responding (i.e. "This game is not responding" message).

My variant, the CAGC (crusaderknight's alternate grand campaign) used to work, until I tried to add a Royal Marriage between Morea and Byzantium into the scenario script. Then it encountered this problem. So I erased the RM, but it still has the problem.

For the GC, something else happened. I created an AI file for Byzantium, and told the BYZ file in the "1419.inc" file to use "Byzantium.ai". Then the GC had this problem. So I went back to the file and erased the line that told it to use my custom AI. It still doesn't work.

Does anyone know why not?

Im using v 1.08 BTW.

Thanks all

crusaderknight

You are going to have to reinstall, clearly some change has been made which has not been undone.

Follow the complete uninstall post in the "self-help" sticky thread (copy wanted save games elsewhere first), defrag your hard disk, install EU2 then 1.08 immediately. Check it works before installing any mods or edits. In fact you might consider having two separate installations of EU2, a vanilla one and a modding one.

Okay. This means I'll lose my modifications though, won't it?

What you should do is copy your modified files somewhere else, then reintroduce things one at a time and see what the problem is. A useful tool while you're doing this might be diff or similar, so you can work out exactly what your changes are.

[in future, it might be a good idea to always have a 'backup' of your changed files, so you can revert successfully...]
