CTD with no error, most recent Steam version

Happens when viewing capital planetary map

from GalCiv3 Forums

 

Hello,

 

The title describes my problem. When viewing my capital's planetary map, eventually my game will CTD with no error whatsoever. Looking through the debug.err, there is no obvious error at the end of my game to signal to me why the crash happens.

 

I should mention that I have modded the game, personally, and if this is an error from invalid XML (which should have been caught) or an invalid reference that is frequently seen, please let me know. I'm sure (if the solution isn't simple) that more information may be required; simply ask and I'll post what you ask for, within reason :p

I think I had something similar with some bad XML when messing about with new planets and art. You should look carefully over the coding, and image files. Probably something wrong there. Errors in image files does not show up afaik. I fixed mine by replacing the planet image file with another one.

I have also had one but that was setting up a game as the Fulgar in Gauntlets Race Mod.

I figured it out. I was testing a stat on a planet trait that appears in the StatTypes.xsd but doesn't have a corresponding string entry; it showed up as "150% Missing Entry" and, once changed to a new stat, the crash resolved.

 

The stat in question was "FactionTourismRate" in case anyone is interested. I guess it has no function, unless someone can correct me.

 

Thanks for your ideas!
