Problems with Austrian 1809 Summer OOB in Sandbox

I just got the game and have been playing around with some sandbox scenarios with various OOBs.

With one exception, everything is working great. That exception is that every time I try to play as French against the Austrian 1809 Summer OOB, the game immediately crashes when I try to create a sandbox scenario. Happens with every map that I've tried. I've tried about 8 other OOBs so far, no problems with them.

Any idea what the issue could be?

Can you make it crash again and then post the contents of sowWL.log on here? The file is generated for each game and can be found in My Documents/sowWL/

Here you go. This has literally happened every time (about 10-12 times) I've tried to use this OOB.

Likely the sandbox score limit is set to 0. Move the slider all the way to the right. That should fix the problem.

Actually, the score was set to somewhere around 10k, which worked with all other OOBs. Anyway, I moved it all the way to the right and tried to relaunch, this time got a much shorter log file:

Is this the only OOB you are having problems with?

Kevin I have never seen:

"10:04:00 PR: (WARNING) Device Lost
11:41:46 PR: (WARNING) Device Reset"

before. Not even sure what it means. A hardware fault?

I've tried several other OOBs with no problem. But the game crashes every single time I try to use the Austrian Summer 1809 OOB. Given this pattern, I'm not sure how it could be a hardware issue, but ultimately I have no idea what the issue could be.

It may be that the install wasn't 100% successful and something got corrupted. I am in the dark about the "(WARNING) Device Lost / (WARNING) Device Reset" messages.

Yeah, that's probably the best bet, will try a re-install.

Re-installed the mod and the sprites (but not the map), but it didn't fix the problem. Really can't figure this one out.

I notice from the first logfile you posted that that isn't the 1809 Austrian OOB, its the Russian OOB I think from 1812. Can you check the OOB.csv and make sure its correct?

Note there are two Austrian 1809 OOBs, spring and summer. Maybe something isn't right with your OOB files.

I think the first log file showed part of a previous game that I'd played with the Russians, which worked fine. But it crashes when I load the summer 1809 Austrians.

I've played several sandbox games vs the spring 1809 Austrians, and they work fine...it is only the summer 1809 that give me problems.

I get a crash too, instantly.

I took a look at the OOB file and there seems to be an extra unwanted Napoleon Bonaparte line, at the very top.

However below him, the Summer ID entries now do not agree with the Spring ones, so the IDs need altering.

Kevin, can you please take a look? Cheers.

There were two problems with that OOB.

1. There is no "side" commander for the Austrians.  Like the French, the Austrian OOB is composed of 2 armies.  The simplest temporary solution is to just copy the 1st line of the Austrian OOB, Erzherzog Karl, and paste it above the original.  Then change columns A & b to Austrian0 & AUSS09_AUS_0 respectively.  Lastly change the 1 in Col. F from 1 to 0.

2. Line 510, 3e Div. Train de munitions, has the formation in the wrong column.  Cut it from Col. S and paste it in Col. Q.

The OOB should now run in the sandbox. Thanks to 76mm for finding the problem.

Glad to make my tiny contribution!  Thank you all for this wonderful mod!
