Water??
Got this error every time I open the map it shows up covered in water. Sometimes its just parts of the map, some times its the whole map, dependes where the starting position is. Also when I try to exit to main menu it causes a CTD. Any thoughts???

I too have a CTD every time the map tries to load. I used notepad ++ and all xml's in this scenario have no errors. In the globals however, there seems to be just errors where it doesn't recognize the dashes over the letters e and i nor the umlauts (spelling?) over the letter u. This affects the Global Names_NLD, Names_FRA, Names_ESP, and Names_DEU. In the Names_ESP, I didn't write the line # down but it's in the 600's, it reads as follows:
<TextKey>
<Tag>Tag_France_name_Paris</Tag>
<Text>Paris&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/Text>
so I fixed that up with the closing "</Text>"
Also, line 646 in this same file has a mismatched tag </Text> as extra where it's not needed.
I don't think these make any difference as the game still crashed when I fixed them all and tried to load it several more times. Anything I can send you from my files or should I just hold for now?

Re: Water??
You will need to go into your Graphics settings in the Options menu and change your Shaders to Medium. Low Shaders cause this "flood" problem. We will try to get a map together that works with Low Shaders.akerkhecker wrote:Got this error every time I open the map it shows up covered in water.

K-class,
It sounds like 7-Zip doesn't want to run on your machine. Are you running Vista?
For those of you who are having trouble with the installer extracting the FPK files, here is a 3-part Rar volume that contains my CustomAssets directory. Rename your current CustomAssets directory, and extract this one in its place.
You will have to find a Rar extractor for your OS such as WinRar or WinZip. Or maybe Vista already supports extracting from Rar archives?
Hope this works better for you.

I noticed there was no uninstaller with this, do we just delete this particular scenario and replace our custom assests folder with the back up I thankfully made?
I'll also try using your provided custom assests folder and see if that works.
Looks like it put all the fpk's in mine and I deleted the Basin and Range Demo map thinking there may be a conflict but to no avail.

I started to load nitrates and the screen pop up said that the ( clothing_Car_bnsf_NORM and SPEC files are missing.)
EDIT//I too would rather have the files and not have an auto installer. My Florida map I am working on has started to crash for no reason just after loading your files. No biggie...I saved my global custom assets xml files...I am going to have to reload those.

I attempted to play the game and got the map below. I uped my virtual to 4Gb and uped my memory to 3Gb, same thing.
Problem solved, read the instructions in the first post....Sorry guys.

Map played well up to a point and CTD, restarted and another random CTD
Now wont load a saved game and this is the second time that that this happened.
I did not catch what caused it was prob another random event.
I would call this map BasinAndRange RC1 (not a finished product)
Love the forklift that's new.
I will dig around in the xml's
