Tech Tree Problems

[DirectorTsaarx]

Most common problem for any of the text files is a "double line" between sections. But (IIRC) that shouldn't cause a fatal error.

Unless the game is upset about changing data files; were you starting a new game with the new techarea.txt, or continuing an existing game? Note that this error would be more related to a multiplayer game where the host machine's data files are different than the player machine's data files.

For techarea.txt, not certain what else could be the problem...
