:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

I’m working on the Rome at War mod, and currently I’m creating campaign content for it. However, the scenario editor has recently taken to crashing whenever I click the “Load”, “Save”, or “Save As” button after creating/opening a scenario with the datamod. This is incredibly painful, and I haven’t been able to solve it so far. It’s also not occurring when I get anyone else to test, so I’m wondering if it’s just me somehow.

My theory currently is that it’s somehow linked to opening the “load/name” scenario screen when in a scenario with the datamod, at least for me. Because “Quit to Menu” works fine, as does “Save Game” if the scenario is already saved.

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:point_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Download the Rome at War Datamod (Official Version), Rome at War Graphics Part 1 and Part 2 from the mod manager.
  2. Restart the game.
  3. Create a scenario with the Rome at War Official Datamod enabled.
  4. Open the menu and click “Save As”

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

I expect the game to not crash when using essential features of the scenario editor with a datamod. Particularly as other people aren’t experiencing the same issue with the same mod setup.

:point_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.

It’s impossible to really get a picture that captures this properly. However, my game does seem to have this popup just before it crashes, which loads briefly before the game shuts down. The other people I’ve got to test don’t seem to get this apparently:


Followed shortly after by the BugSplat popup.
