Ok thanks - we can just keep collecting info until we can replicate or track it down. So just to confirm - you can turn all mods off and only have the sprite one enabled - the issue will appear every time?

I'll have to check first but it will have to be later though.

Example: I remember having to re download some of the SOW GB Mods, and then they would work.

This is a good suggestion. Ignoring the possibility of a problem with the download I have encountered problems with community submitted saves for SOWWL bugs and in other games when winrar was used. The ".rar" files sometimes messes things up but don't give an honest crash, which compounds and hides the problem. Additionally, using winrar to unpack zips or other compressed file types is also ocasionally problematic. I remember months of Silent Hunter 4 mods misery until I figured that out. I've never used winrar since and only use winzip or 7zip.

That's fine, whenever suits. We need to narrow it down so need the full details. Thanks for the help.

I get the problem when I play with these two mods.

Expanded Toolbar - Grog
Ch a Ch Garde and Pr Landwehr Cav mod


When I use this combination of mods I don't have a problem.

18:28:11 Mod: C:\MATRIX GAMES\SCOURGE OF WAR WATERLOO\Mods\Full_French_Campaign
18:28:11 Mod: C:\MATRIX GAMES\SCOURGE OF WAR WATERLOO\Mods\Realistic Smoke light version
18:28:11 Mod: C:\MATRIX GAMES\SCOURGE OF WAR WATERLOO\Mods\Slower_Animations
18:28:11 Mod: C:\MATRIX GAMES\SCOURGE OF WAR WATERLOO\Mods\Expanded Toolbar - Grog

If you play with the Garde and Landwehr mods alone do you see the problem?

Yes.

Ok have you tried

1) redownloading the mod.
2) what unzip tool do you use?

I think I've downloaded Ch a Ch Garde and Pr Landwehr Cav mod about three times & the Expanded Toolbar is always kept up to date, I'll download both mods one more time for you to see if it makes a difference.

I use WinRAR all the time, I've never had a problem with it either.
