Troubleshooting

Before you begin, make sure that you update your drivers to the latest versions. Instability issues from outdated drivers or an outdated game version are the number one reported problem, but thankfully they're the easiest to solve. So get to updating!

Make sure that your game is up to date to the latest version, and you have the latest tools.

Common Errors

Don't forget to use the root LANGUAGE tag in the "extra_english.lang" file when trying to create your own custom story. The contents of this file (or "extra_XXX.lang" - where XXX is some alternative language) must look like this:

<LANGUAGE>
    <CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
        <Entry Name="Description">
            This is the description of my Custom Story! It is SCARY!
        </Entry>
    </CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

You can then have as many CATEGORY tags inside the LANGUAGE tag as necessary with the appropriate "Name" attributes.
