BZII mods and 1.3.7.0

I am not a BZII developer. I am just a BZ fun. I feel that it is a fairly balanced game and I love it. I do not play MP games, so SP is my most inerest. There is a set of excellent mods that have SP campaign, they are generally playable with 1.3.6.5. With 1.3.7.0 all the mods crash (except the GBD BZClassic updates that are not publicly available now).

So, the question is: Modders, can't you find time to make your mods playable under 1.3.7.0? I understand that it is not possible to fix the missions code. Is it possible to fix crashes?

- FE (GSH, look out of the window, there is winter, you promised)
- QF
-Uler

can you post logs for the mod(s) that crash, and a brief explanation of where it crashes?

The developers of all three mods are largely focused on other, more important things. FE and Uler do both have projects to update them - two for FE, one for Uler - maintained by other community members, but QF does not as yet.

BZ2 is portable and relatively small, so you may find it worthwhile to keep multiple versions installed to accommodate a variety of mods.

apologies, progressor; i had a very busy summer, traveling, multiple family visits, cutting, loading, unloading, cutting, stacking 14 full cords of firewood, and just got over bronchitis, so give me a little time and i'll get back on the modding horse.

Looks like 1.3.7.0.a130g works more stable with mods, it crashes only on exit:

A crash in StackHash_#### means that Windows couldn't even determine where the crash was. Glancing at the BZ2 logs you posted, BZ2 isn't crashing in any way that BZ2 can catch and log. Try the suggestions mentioned at https://www.reddit.com/r/GrandTheftAuto ... ash_error/ -- those point to helper apps on systems that inject themselves into running programs and can mess them up. Several are called out by name on that page.

Ok, crash on exit is not a big inconvenience. The next question is: what should I do to modify mod's *.cfg files to attach the Coxxon's remodeled packs/assets? Does this make sense?

try putting the lines that point to his files before the other ones.

I did. Now I get the same APPCRASH_### when I finish a mission normally and when I finish it with game.cheat bzwinner. Looks like the game just exits.

Did you read and understand what I wrote above? APPCRASH_ can happen if other "helper" programs inject themselves into the running app. Try disabling them!

Yes, GSH, I did read and understood that article. The thing is that I do not have neither any anti-virus software nor have any of the mentioned applications on my system. I never install any "helper" software. I am not (yet) a BZ developer but I am a programmer.

poking around in win 10 and under privacy/background apps, maybe try turning them off?
