Same old, same old

<r>After many game crashes I took my old computer, which had died a painful death, to a computer guru. He brought it back to life, so I tried playing SOWG solitaire. No problem. Everything worked. <ATTACHMENT filename="SOWGB.log" index="4621"><s>[attachment=4621]</s>SOWGB.log<e>[/attachment]</e></AT...

Same old, same old

<t>A Ray of Hope<br/> <br/> I played a two and a half hour game today, and it did not crash. Actually, I just got my troops on their way, then set the speed on high and left them alone. I used three mods:  B&F XIX, Peninsula Campaign of 1862, and NGCM 1.<br/> <br/> If those three mods work consi...

Same old, same old

<t>Reb, I just tried playing a game without a single mod enabled, and for the first time in three weeks the game did not crash.  But playing without any mods is, well, a little dull compared to using those great mods I've been used to over the years.<br/> <br/> I'll check the anti-virus as you sugge...

Same old, same old

Reb, I reinstalled the game today. Two games attempted, two games crashed (one lasted 3 min, the other 10 min), using the same maps and OOB I've used for years. I was using B&F XIX.
Trying different combinations later today.

Same old, same old

<t>Thank you, Reb, for your prompt reply. When my problems began I disabled every map mod except the one being used. For example, with these last two crashes the only mods I had enabled were a single map mod (Manassas in the last one), Peninsula Campaign 1862, and B&F XIX. When I changed OOB, Ge...

Same old, same old

<t>Back to my computer after my wife had knee replacement four days ago. After I tried a solitaire game using the NGCM Random Maps 1, B&F XIX, and Peninsula Campaign 1862. The game lasted about 10 minutes before it crashed. The log indicated that maps were the problem: ID NOT Found for orchards ...

From Bad to Worse

Ah, this must be the culprit. Here the part of the last log:
11:00:01 ERROR LOADING MAP_ICONS.TGA
I had deleted the map_icons.tga in order to try and enlarge the icons on the mini-map.

Reb, yes, I tried several different map mods and they all crashed (Lynchburg, Manassas, etc.) Never seen anything like it.

From Bad to Worse

<t>Recently I've chronicled some of the problems I've been having, but things reached their nadir tonight. I have been trying to play a solitaire game, without success. My mods selected initiatly were B&F XIX, Peninsula Campaign of 1862, and NGCM Maps 1. When the game comes up, I hit "map" and t...

Once more unto the breach of crashing games

<t>Below I have copied a log of a solitaire game I tried today. I used B&G XIX, plus a new set of maps I just downloaded today, from the New GCM. The game crashed about 10 min. in. The log seems to indicate that the problem is with the map. If this is so, then I don't know what random maps I can...
