Thumbs Up  .lang File Crashing? [SOLVED]

I was hoping to avoid asking on the forum but it has come to a point where I cannot fix it. I recently updated my .lang file because I had missed a single " at the end of <CATEGORY Name="Ending">. Once I changed it though, whenever I selected the map, it crashed straight away. Remove the " and the map works fine, just nothing from the .lang file works.

THE ERROR:
Amnesia.exe cause an EXEPCTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module MSVCR71.dll at 001B:7C3417FB, strlen()+0038byte(s)

The .lang File

RE: .lang File Crashing?

The log says there is an error in your custom_story_settings.cfg file. Could it be the name of your map? Is it named 00_Intro.map with matching capitals? I don't think the .lang file should cause the game to crash even if it contains errors, so it's kinda odd.

RE: .lang File Crashing?

How do your files look then? How are they set up path-wise and name-wise?

RE: .lang File Crashing?

Fixed it, <CATEGORY NAME=Inventory> was the problem.. All them capital letters broke the game.. Gah. Oh well, I give credit to the .lang file editor for finding it for me. Smile

Thanks anyway Mudbill.

RE: .lang File Crashing? [SOLVED]

Well, then we at least know that is another possible problem for the future. Gives me something to suggest if someone has a similar problem Wink
