When starting a new game, right after exiting the world options screen, FE crashes.  Logs sent to support.

I actually uninstalled and then used the full installer.  I can start a new game now, but there are some differences from when I first started 0.98.  For one, Capitar and Umber sovereigns were there the first time, now they are not.  The other sovs had armor, now they don't.  Now also most of the text is in Arial or something.  It looks really bad.  Grain and Material numbers are tiny and unreadable.  I will try the exe.

After installing the 980.063 patch to the full install, I can still start a new game, but the fonts are still messed up.

Was the extra equipment on the sovereigns and adding Capitar and Umber a feature, or is that some sort of throwback?  It's just the plain sovereigns with their 1 piece of equipment now.

Capitar and Umber were removed back in Beta 3, they haven't been added back.  Sovereigns never had starting armor.  It sounds like a mod may have changed some files in your local directory.

The big change is that this isn't the first version that isn't streamed from our servers (previously you got all your xml form us).  Now its using your local copy, which for some players, has been changed around.

Can you show some screenshots of the font issues you are seeing?  Also what OS are you using?

Ok, I rebooted and the fonts are all purdy again.  I guess the sovereigns were just a zombie mod.  Thanks for the help Derek.  (too bad about Capitar and Umber though O:) )
