Game Crashing during Years of World Creation
« on: September 03, 2018, 05:43:45 pm »

This might be an easy problem to fix since the scenario seems pretty simple:
    When playing the game it only crashes when years are passing on World Creation  IF  I have copied a set of 'design advanced parameters'  .  So the game never crashes if I use the default LARGE REGION, but if I copy this set of parameters and rename to A LRG REGION then save without making any internal setting changes then try using this custom set the game will crash.  At first I thought it was some setting I adjusted, but after dozens of tests I have recognized it happens for any set of parameters which I have copied.  Sometimes the game will reach 150 years without crashing, but it's rare.
    Anyone familiar with this mystery crash?

UPDATE:  What I found has worked is giving the copied parameters a title and name...  the  t   and  n   options.   After having done this it's working.... very strange.

Hm. No idea, could it be that you're changing file encoding on saving?
