Rasputitsa -> RE: Patch 1.06 problem with uninstall and reinstall (1/18/2020 8:06:27 AM)
|
v1.05 does have CTDs, which seems to be a fact of life with ToF ever since v1.01, with each attempt to fix the game introducing more problems.
The main issue is that, since v1.01, the combat odds terrain modifiers have only been applied to one nation (Poland, #01 in the countries list). This can be fixed by adding text to the country_consts.ini files in each scenario folder and adding country_consts.ini files (with the required text) for those nations which do not already have them.
There are other issues that can be fixed with text modification in these files, which can be done using 'Notepad' and are featured in the discussions on this forum, although you will have to change the forum 'Display Topics 365 Days', to 'ALL' to see the old posts.
The units images folder contains well over 1000 images and I thought that this might be the source of CTD at game start, so I have a reduced number of units images set, which seem to have limited the CTDs at start up, for me.
Other in-game CTDs may be generated by game 'events', like US entry in 'Fall Gelb', so I use the F12 key to keep the US out and multiple game saves for restart after crashes.
There is more, but maybe later if you are still interested, there is a good game here, but you have to work at it, however the modifying of text files can introduce more features into the game, so the extra work is not wasted. For instance, moving modifiers into individual country_consts_ini. files allows for separate national attributes, rather than the one-size-fits-all of data in the main consts.ini file, in the main scenario folder.
V1.06 added more faults to the game, the 'armor in city' combat modifier is not working and corps and division listings changed to army, etc.. Although not a big deal, I did not know what else had morfed, so I stayed with v1.05, the devil you know......
PM sent for more.
