1.2 and not able to use mods.

August 10, 2015 5:33:03 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I have upgraded to 1.2 and am not able to use any mods.  When I have mods enabled and try to either start a new game or load a previous save the "loading map" screen will stay on screen forever.  I end up Ctl=Alt=Del and close out the game to restart.  This happens when I try to go to campaign mode as well.


When I take mods off, the game loads...   Any help would be appreciated.

I also when first loading up 1.2  I would get messages telling me that certain races I had downloaded were missing techs....  Once I deleted the races the messages went away...  Xitak Commune and Federation were the two races...

I had to do the same with the federation faction. Didn't have the Xitaks.

If you are using Deathwynd's GD mod you will need to be sure that you don't have an excessive number of the old traits selected. 1.1 didn't seem to care but 1.2 doesn't like it if you select more than 5. I didn't have any problem starting a new game but I was unable to load a game using a modded faction until I fixed that.

1.2 broke a lot of mods (including a couple of personal mods of mine), so you need to see if there has been updates. I know DW's has been updated and others have as well.

haven't got the msg on the races but have created a couple custom races with more then 5 traits to play against as it seems they do a better job of competing then the vanilla ones in the game.  Thus having the saves won't load issue ... real bummer that ... hope fix this gotcha as it was one way had a more challenging game.
