Summary0002120: VCMI will not open :(
DescriptionThe new update won't open. It just says "Assertion failed: type == DATA_STRING, file JsonNode.cpp, line 242"
Steps To ReproduceOpening VCMI.
Additional InformationI originally downloaded and extracted 0.97b to the directory VCMI was originally installed (default Heroes 3 directory) overwriting the older version of VCMI as usual. This is the first time I encountered this problem with VCMI. It had been awhile since I played VCMI, but when I finally opened it I got this error. None of the VCMI files were altered in any way.
TagsNo tags attached.

 How about deleting old files and new install?

 I tried that as well, I just keep getting this error "Assertion failed: type == DATA_STRING, file JsonNode.cpp, line 242" whenever I open any of the .exe files for VCMI. I have Era 2.46 and HoTA 1.3.5.0 installed in the same directory along with the HD mod, however this has never been an issue with previous releases of VCMI. I'll try it with a new install though. I just thought maybe "Assertion failed: type == DATA_STRING, file JsonNode.cpp, line 242" could be resolvable through other methods or something.

 It could, but I can't tell from here which file on your system causes that bug. Do you have any legacy VCMI mods installed?

 I don't have any legacy mods installed, just the ones that come from the VCMI launcher. However, I deleted the VCMI folder in C:\Users\user\Documents\My Games just to see if that would affect anything, but VCMI still won't open. It still recreates the folder that I deleted though. Each of the executable files for VCMI created a log file, would you like to see those? I'm not sure if they contain any info on the error though.

 Yes that's the first thing you should attach ;)

 With version c of the update, I get the same error, but with "line 249" at the end of it.

 Logs tell nothing, no idea for now. I still believe there are some outdated / incorrect files that VCMI tries to read.

 Hmm. I'll try it with a fresh install of H3. Thanks for your help Warmonger, you can mark this as resolved if you want. I'll get back to you if I figure out what file/s may have been causing the problem.
