I'm having this issue with OOTP8:
Freezes during game load at 93%
Although listed as "closed", I'm still having trouble.
Yes, I can rename faces.dat to faces.old and the issue goes away, BUT...
...that means I either can't use FaceGen or the game will keep regenerating new faces every time I run the program. Neither answer is acceptable, really, beacuse FaceGen worked fine for me with '07 and its a feature I should be able to use.
Beyond that, the game keeps recreating faces.dat.
So, is there a more permanent solution? Any idea of the cause?
Thanks!
