I'm getting errors for all the AI traffic in Estonia, Finland and Romania. Liechtenstein is OK.
Typical examples: Anybody else seeing these error tpes in their game.log.txt file?


Liechtensteins AI sii files are written in Ansi unix but Estonia, Finland and Romania are written in Hex that reads total gobbledy-gook to me!! Going to swap out the hex files for some Ansi alternatives and hope that fixes it.

If this has already been reported etc. etc. etc......

EDIT!! Swapping the files out with Ansi written files removed the errors from the log file.

All of those files are perfectly fine here. I suggest you retry downloading the def file. There have been reports of it messing up due to double-click or other mysterious reasons on some browsers.

Thanks for that info LA-MJ. I shall re-download the def file and then compare the new download to the old.

If it still doesn't work, please post your full game.log to www.pastebin.com and provide us the link. We need the whole game.log to help effectively.

Downloaded some new def.scs files with Palemoon, Palemoon with Add-ons disabled, Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer with no Add-ons.
All four downloads are identical to my original def.scs download, e.g., 3 countriy AI traffic files showing gobbledy-gook (to me) hex code.
A typical example being:

I would do that if I thought it was relevant VB4L, but the files appear to be getting corrupted before they get anywhere near the game.

I mean, it's nothing "major" (??) as it's just an <ERROR> warning and swapping the traffic files out with the games default ones took me at the most a minute.
I'm just curious/confused as to how/why this is happening and am I the only one?
It is the free download BTW, though that's got nothing to do with the def.scs file!

Still fine with both Chrome&FF here

Perhaps you are using some sort of soffisticated downloader/firewall/etc. Or maybe it's just Palemoon. First time I hear of it tbh. The only FF fork I'd trust is Tor bundle. No comment for IE

There are a lot of people who complain about the mod not working when they use IE. So I recommend you to use Google Chrome of Firefox.

I recommend that for all of the Internet. IE isn't really good at using today's Internet... Can't believe Microsoft still recommends/installs it

My next test is to disable all security. And if that doesn't work, well, at least I'm aware of it and know which files to swap out!! I think I quite like trying to solve any errors thrown up in my log file!
And I'm going to try it out on my vanilla game, you never know!

@ Volleybal4life. Palemoon is a 64-bit derivative of FF. There is also a 32-bit derivative. Both are a lot lighter, resource wise, than FF as they carry less "bloat". Since about v3.9 of FF I found the installs were getting bigger and bigger and it was getting slower and slower with every new version. I gave up on it.
And yes, IE is a bag of poop. I only ever use it on 2 sites when checking for new drivers. Otherwise I'd remove it if I could. My Win 7 came with IE 9 and I've always refused to update the bugger (see FF reason!!).

You do know that it's possible to roll back any updates made to IE, right? It's also possible to d/l and install IE 9 after nuking IE 11, which really is pants...
