Installed GRM 8.0, playing Crusade. Launched a huge game with a dozen races, no issues.

For a clean install, rename the existing My Games/GC3Crusade folder which forces the game to create a new clean folder. Launch, quit and install GRM in the new GC3Crusade folder. Then add in any other mods or designs after GRM is installed. But this mod is so awesome, you really don't need any additions. This method resets your preferences, so be sure and recheck Enable Mods.

The races and new ships are incredible. I've just started playing it, but so far the new anomalies and components add a lot to the game.

Thanks for a GREAT mod! This is a must for any new players.

Same here. It seems my Designs/desktop.ini is not being created.

When I copy all the GRM stuff that is the one file I have to skip or abort.

I played the 2.8 opt-in with the old GRM-I Mod (two other minor mods and my own personal mod) and after yesterday's update my save game crashed and starting a new game crashed also. I removed all mods but my own from the mod folder, after that I could create a new game.

So the probability is high that the problem was caused by something in the GRM-I. Perhaps that info helps finding the issue.

Yes I had to disable mods because of the game crashing when starting a game. Opt in 2.8

Quoting ForesterSOF,
reply 904

Same here. It seems my Designs/desktop.ini is not being created.

@ForesterSOF when you say "I have to skip" does that imply/mean that by skipping this file, you were able to then install and play with GRM 8.0 successfully?

 

 

I suspect this is the problem... it looks like the 8.0 version had a copy of this file in the designs folder... when you installed, you replaced a config file of your own...

so I am uploading a new version that does NOT have this file... and I recommend for those of you having trouble, you find it and delete it. The game should then produce a new config file and work.

My apologies for the inconvenience guys... my bad... I'll keep reading what you post and tweaking until we get it right for (virtually) everyone.

No. In the copy phase a popup gave me the choice to skip or abort.

I will try the new 8b and see what happens.

I will also delete all the GRM stuff in my MOD folder and reinstall. I think I can get away with leaving the Designs stuff in the game folder.

Yeah, there is also the fact guys, that its always a good idea to remove the old factions and mod folders before installing.

The new version is uploading now... should be up and downloadable in 5 minutes or so... its labeled version 8.0a FYI

That did it.

I was lazy and did not get rid of all the MOD stuff before re-doing it so I had to do it right.

I also verified my game files before doing the MOD copy.

When you re-did the game did you also delete the MOD folder with all the GRM stuff in it.

Also the designs in my folder was messed up; maybe.

All the problems I had seemed to be with mygames folders and not that much with the game except doing a verify to be safe.

I deleted the complete crusade folder at documents and GalCiv folder on HDD before I reinstalled the game. 

 

Edit: I switched back to GRM 7.5 which works always fine and the game is crashing to desktop.  I really don't know what went wrong! 

Edit2. I think its not the mod.  The game is crashing with or without mode. After new start PC there came an direct x error message. Never had before. All steam games was gone.  So I really don't know what went wrong there but I hate it!!! 

Edit3: I give up. 3 times complete new game installation. No matter in any case I validate the game data there are 7 broken files ever and ever again. Game is crashing to desktop after game start with mod or without mod...

Hi,

and the winner was:

Debug Message:  ERROR: GetTranslation() failed on: Notification_ShipIdle_Tooltip

After changing the game language from german to english all is fine

GRM 8.0a also works fine and looks really really good.

 

Thank you very much

Can't tell if it's been addressed yet, but I'm having difficulty getting the game to get past the "building galaxy" screen.

Currently running 2.8 opt-in, was previously running 2.7. Issues on both versions.

I tried a clean install yesterday. Same thing, crashes to desktop.

Did you download the new version of GRM 8.0a (slight label diff) it was the hotfix...

Failing that... have you tried removing the desktop.ini file in the designs folder as discussed above?

I downloaded what was on Nexus, which I'm certain was the 8.0a.

 

I have no desktop.ini file that I can find in my Designs folder. I will double check tiny maps, but those weren't working the last time I tried running it either, back on 7.5.
