I've recently re-downloaded gaius for some experiments with Grettinorneats.(norns,grendels,ettins,and geats spliced together)However,there is a serious problem in my game.Even reinstalling won't help with it,and if more than one geat is grouped together in a room with a low ceiling,this monstrosity shows up and the game closes if I do anything in it.

It only happens with low ceilings and geats.Norns with gaius sprites?Oh,that's fine.Geats in the freedom metaroom?Okay.Geats in a place with a low ceiling?Oh,here's a big fat GAME CRASH for you.How do I stop this from happening?It only happens to the geat genus,and I know because norns with gaius sprites were perfectly fine. |

As far as I know, Gaius is a fairly big breed. In the wrong poses Gaius or mixes involving Gaius may be too big to fit into that space. Solutions would be:
A) Edit the rooms to fit them
B) Put them into a larger space
or C) stop using Gaius
I might be wrong, though and it is a completely different cause, but I assume it might be something like that, due to the map-related error.

I'm not to sure but I think it has more to do with them being Geats and not just the large sprites? Being a large breed doesn't help though. A room like the Freedom room might be a good place to raise them. It's open and look fairly good.

Well,i know it's not the sprites doing it,because if I hatch a gaius with the genus changed to norn,everything is fine.I'm gonna get out a baby norn with its genus changed to geat and see what happens. |

I guess you could do an easy test, by creating a norn genome which just uses Gaius' sprites, seeing if those crash too in the same spots.
And the only other thing that geats do to the map ("Error opening map file" ) is turning stuff into air, so the big sprites were my first guess.
Just saw I got ninja'd. Well, I'm out of ideas.

Yep,it's because they're geats.I changed the genus of some bengal norns,and put two of them in front of the empathic vendor,where the game crashes the most,and they pretty much blew up the game. |

Babies you said...? Did you teach them speaking? The error does not quite look like it, but I have another idea what could cause the crashes...

Yeah,newborns with no training at all,just hatched a group of them,put two by the empathic vendor,and the game just decided to go "NOPE!" and crash.
They haven't been taught speaking. |

Try a Geat patch thing? If you already have that installed then I have no idea. I don't raise Geats that often.

For existing worlds, make sure you re-read the catalogue files after adding the file.should do the trick.
On the other hand it'd wonder me if you hadn't got such a patch. Doesn't Ghosthande include one in the Gaius download?

I don't have that,but the geats can speak baby talk just fine,it only happens when there are two or more grouped together in certain spaces. |

Then it actually might be a horribly mutated version of the air glitch. There exists a glitch, where any kind of roomtype gets transformed into air when a geat looks at another. It was not fixed so far, but perhaps we come up with something?

Here's a thread with a similar problem as your. I don't think there's much you can do about it besides moving them into a larger room. I vaguely remember having similar crashes before moving them into a bigger room.

Well,I put a gaius at the empathic vendor,and slowly moved another up through the floor to it,and they could look at each other just fine,but the game crashed when the other gaius only had its feet still in the ground. |

Yeah,It's probably got something to do with the geats looking at each other.This time,when I put them in front of the vendor,when it crashed,the geat I had selected was looking at the other one for the frame before the game closed. |

There was a small discussion about Geats crashing worlds in the comments section over here. I don't think a solution was ever found, unfortunately... I've never had issues with my Geats, although I typically have them in rooms with taller ceilings. Hope it can be fixed so you can enjoy them soon!

Well,if one or both of the geats are dead when attempting the empathic vendor crash,it won't work. |
