Random Maps 4 problem

Post by cliometrician »

I recently did some experimenting with the csv file for both RandomMaps 2 and 4, messed up, and decided to install them again. I deleted both then downloaded both. No problem with RM 2 but when I tried to install RM 4 I kept getting the message: "file contains invalid data" That happened three times.

Could someone please check the file to see if you have the same problem? Thanks.

I can't really help you with the current problem that you are having, but I will say that in the future if you mess up a maps csv file, there is absolutely no reason to re-install the maps.

Either use the back-up that you have, or post on the forums and someone could post the csv file here on the board for you.

But, if I had to guess, I would say that invalid data would mean that the file was somehow corrupt during the download.

It finally installed properly on the fourth try.
