Napoleon Campaign crash

[alberto.garilli]

I encountered a very annoying bug playing the Napoleon Campaign: every time I attack Portugal or Great Britain ("Battle of Lisbon" and "Battle of England"), the game crashes during the loading of the scenario.
A window appears with this title "BHG RTS run time ERROR". It says:
"Unknown Gpiece Type
[Click RETRY to debug, IGNORE to turn this message off and continue]
Safe to Ignore: UNLIKELY".
I read somewhere on the forum (probably in the "Known issues" thread) that someone else had the same problem I found, but he didn't get an answer.
I hope to find the solution to this problem and help others with the same issue.

I have the same Problem. Nobody has an idea why it only crashes when you attack Portugal or UK? Or has anybody a Solution for this Problem?

Did you fix this issue? I'm having it :( It would be a shame that developers didn't fix this after a year

[alberto.garilli]

Unfortunately, no fix.

i play with german lang setting. After some hint from another threat i changed the lang. to english and the campain with the britains work!
It might be an translation error. So try to change the lang.!

Thanks a lot krissi21987!
After your suggestion I switched to English, then I tried to attack Portugal and -bingo!- it works!
Then I tried to attack Great Britain and I had no problem again!
I used to play with Italian language and never thought to change it, but obviously that was the cause of my problem.
After two full years, I finally managed to solve the issue, thanks to you.

I found the translation error. If you have an xml editor, open conquest/Napoleon/PORTUGUESE.xml; you'll see no problem. But open any of the child files, ending in .xml.7 (for German, other numbers for other languages) for example. It lacks the sections for nation leader names and cities! That's what's causing the error. I fixed it by pasting the contents of the mother file into the xml.7 version (I was playing the game in German), and voi là! Error solved, you can now play that level in German :). I guess if you do the same with the child files for other languages you'll solve the problem in those languages.

And that's it for the error when attacking Portugal. I don't know about Britain though; it may be the same issue with the tribe file or another thing completely. I had the issue with Portugal, but not with Britain (maybe because Portugal was already eliminated and I waited until the last turn to eliminate Britain? I don't know).

I tried Laiesken's solution and it works. But is it normal that by invading Portugal the enemy is the Inca?
However, it is a shame that we have to fix by ourselves the bugs they introduced!
