Wierd behavour

Published on March 6, 2009 By Astrobia In Bug Reports

Just bought twilight of arnor and installed galactic civ 2, dread lords and twilight from scratch. Started a metaverse game and shortly into it had a crash. This doesn't bother me so much as the fact as since then all my saved ship designs and custom races I made since installing arn't available any more. I checked the appropriate folder in mydocs and they are all still there, the game is just not recognising them anymore. I also noticed the metaverse game and tournement game options become greyed out after going into any screen other then them after the game starts... Not sure if that relevent or not. Here's the debug.err:

Are you playing the same chapter? Saves and ships are unique to each one (they don't transfer between DL/DA/TA).

Yes. I've only been loading twilight of Arnor since I got it. That's also the folder the ships are saved in. Incedently saved games form those folder show up fine. It's just the ships and custom races that are playing up. Thanks for the input.

Update:

Hard drive crashed a few days ago so I've had the pleasure of being forced to comeplete reinstall... Same problem. Game Intermitantly doesn't load preconfigured races, never loads custom ship designs and the option to make custom ship styles is always greyed out which is really depressing as its on of the features of the expansion I really looked forward to. Anyone got any other ideas as to what could be causing this?
