I have done the impossible (CSF IE!!!) - Vinifera7 - 05.10.2006
Someone should test this out to confirm it:
If you remove ANY of the following strings from the csf, the game will IE during the loading screen of a campaign.
name:africans
name:alliance
name:americans
name:british
name:confederation
name:germans
name:french
name:arabs
name:russians
name:yuricountry
name:special
name:neutral
Even if you rename your [Countries] and you don't even USE these strings, you still need to have these EXACT strings in your csf or the game will crash.

IIRC this is because of the logger, it tries to write the name of every possible country on the list into the log file. something i discovered when starting R:BOTH. (it had a total of 4 countries: Einstein, Russia Elite, Yuri Revolution and Civic Republic. plus neutral and special. i kept getting IE's because the strings were missing, i spent hours re-building the mod from scratch after spending 3 days making it in the first place without testing. after logging, and noting what was happeneing, and after i solved the problem, it was easy to see that it was crashing when the log file would write what countries can be selected.)
i think the orignal strings are used for the loading screens, these are hardcoded, and would probably only crash if you tried to load a country with a missing string. (any of the first 10 on the [Countries] list)

These strings are displayed on the skirmish or multiplay load screens, but not on the campaign load screens. When I removed these strings the game never crashed when I loaded a skirmish, only when I loaded a campaign.

hmmm, dunno then.

Campaign also crashes if you have RP-made countries and their CSF names are missing.

skirmish also does that D, like i said, i suspect its log related.
