  • GAME BUILD #: 51737
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Upon starting a single player skirmish game with an AI player, the game throws an error that the AI script’s tc identifier was not found. The AI then wanders randomly with its villagers (due to, I assume, thinking it doesn’t have a TC) and no longer plays the game.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

This happened with any civs I tried, and any level difficulty of the AI

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Start a standard skirmish game with any level difficulty AI
  2. The error will be thrown once the game loads.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

The AI behaves normally.

Duplicate of AI Script Error

I solved this by deleting the contents of the resources/_common/ai directory and then verifying integrity of the game cache to re-download the removed files.
