Thanks so much buddy Vista and CivIII Conquests are back in town.If you found this, youre probably having the same problem Ive just had, installing Civilization 3 with the Conquests update, the latest patches, and then being unable to play it because of an error message: Error loading font.Code 28. Ive read many solutions to this problem, and the most ridiculous one, and the official one put forward by AtariInfrogrammes is to delete all Lucida Sans font files from your WindowsFonts folder Unbelievable that this could ever be considered a solution.Update: This solution works with Civilization 3 GOLD, too (Thanks to gravegoul for the tip).
Yours could be C:Program FilesSid Miers Civilization III, for example.). If youre wondering what the problem was, heres an explanation: Within the LSANS.FOT file is instructions for Civilization to load the LSANS.TTF (the LucidaSans font file) from C:BreakAwayCiv3ConquestsLSANS.TTF, and if the file isnt there, the game wont load. Of course, this isnt even the default path for the game, so why Breakaway games should include this file with their patch is beyond me. But they did. By removing the LSANS.FOT file (or by simply renaming it) the game simply looks for the font file elsewhere, and finds it I wanted to post this on a Civ3 forum somewhere, but I couldnt find an active thread about the problem, so at least here it should be here for good. Civilization 3 Patch Windows 7 With UACIf youre running VistaWindows 7 with UAC enabled (which you should be, if youre using those operating systems) youll find it in: C:UsersYOUR USERNAMEAppDataLocalVirtualStoreProgram FilesInfogrames InteractiveCivilization IIIConquests Enjoy. Thanks, indeed i was worried i was gonna have to call and yell at someone at Atari, Firaxis or Bill Gates for this new Windows Vista. Hey, I give you 100 Purple vorpal bunnies for this I went to offical sites and found NOTHING about Error 28 (or a troubleshooting section to begin with) I was getting pissed. I typed The Civilization III error 28 and this was the first site on the list. GO YOU:D. Seriously that was the best and easiest answer I have Ever found online. I have some hours looking how t osolve it and this does in a second. Just like the other comment, on the net youll find absolutely NOTHING on this problem. ![]() Cheers A. Thank you Thank you I bought a new computer and was very worried i could never play my favorite game ever again. Thanx; If only everything in life was sooo simple to resolve. Thanks so much - now my life goes back to wasting hours playing Civ instead of doing something useful; the wife is eternally grateful to you that she doesnt have to see my face until Spring returns. Nice one mate - thanks for helping me get back to wasting my life on Civ 3. I just got a new computer with Vista and I have spent my first day fixing many problems. ![]() I wonder if you could tell me how to fix the error Im getting. I keep getting this error when trying to play the scenario: Error Reading File Missing entry in Scenarios.conquestsMesoamericatextPedialcons.txt.:AMIMNAME The game will now exit. ![]() Sadly, I do not. I hope you find a solution soon, I know how frustrating it can be. Thanks, your a genius Thought I was going to have to dump my old game and go for civ 4 for a minute (which I already have).
