So I came across the realization that my debug.err file reads differently than someone else's. When my game crashes (on account of my mod), I look at the debug.err file located in My Games/GalCiv3. If I do a text search, I do not see any reference to my mod or custom faction. The word "Kuja" does not appear.
However, others have used the mod and on crash, find a my mod mentioned in the debug file.
I'm probably missing something obvious.. Anyone have any idea?
