Region problem with 1.08d patch

[Jagger]

I updated my PBEM mod with 1.08d for the navy battle fix. I am now getting a crash as the game loads. The mod worked fine with 1.08.

As I am loading the patch onto a mod, I am very careful about the files I overwrite because I do not want to overwrite modded files. So I am assuming I didn't overwrite a file that I needed to overwrite.

Below is the log indicating a region problem. I have ensured the region, region alias, areas and AreaExt files have been replaced by the patch files. I have also looked at those files and they appear correct. Yet I still get the crash as the game loads. What file would cause the problem below? Any ideas?

Note that all these regions with errors 1500-1523 are not connected either to Grand or Mid Areas according to the log. However they are listed in the areas file. Is there another file that defines Mid and Grand areas?

check the consistency of the aliases you use for the region files, and what you are really using in the two areas files.

Thanks!

I ended up deleting the regions folder completely and then replacing with the patch regions folder. That worked.

There were duplicates. I thought I had removed all of them but apparantly not.
