city_district_textures.prp keep disappearing

[calroger]

I updated MOULa to 1.918 and it runs without problems. I copied the contents of the dat folder over to the TOC dat folder and tried running TOC MOUL. When I try to go to the city (not COD), the program aborts reporting that city_district_textures.prp is missing. I then recopied the file from MOULa to TOC and verified that the file was present in the TOC dat folder. I then try running TOC MOUL again and again it aborts with the message. When I look in the TOC dat folder, city_district_textures.prp is missing.

I have repeated this sequence several times, always with the same results.

What am I doing wrong or what is the probable cause of this problem?

I just tried running tocrepair and the problem is still occurring.

Please try it again, now.

No good. It is still crashing when I try to link to the city from the city book in Relto. The city_district_textures.prp is still being deleted. I ran the first two options of TOCrepair, "reinstall data" and "reset patcher". Still not working.

Can anyone else reproduce this? It is working fine for me.

I have done some further testing to try to localize the problem.
1. I replaced the missing file
2. I logged in and quit from the avatar screen. The file is still there.
3. I logged in and selected my avatar. I quit after reaching Relto. File still there.
4. I logged in, selected my avatar, and upon reaching Relto, typed "/COD". I reached COD without problem. I quit and file still there.
5. I logged in, selected avatar, and upon reaching Relto, opened city book and tried to link to the city. I crashed during link. File is gone.

I am considering reinstalling TOC with MOULa 1.918. Past experience tells me I won't lose anything since all progress is stored on server. However, if I can be of any help troubleshooting this problem, I will delay the reinstall.

If you don't mind the work, try it. I cannot really think of something else, atm.

Still, I would like someone else to test it...

I can confirm this, every time you try to link to Ae'gura, the file "city_District_Textures.prp" gets deleted.

Here is an extract from "patcher.0.log":

Confirmed..same error for me, as well.

I don't know what happened, yesterday everything was perfect for me, though I have only been in the City of Dimensions to ride the boat and this was awesome as always ...

Today the CoD looks like this

Spoiler:

and when I try to link to Ae'gura I'm sent to desktop with a black screen and the error message that 'city_District_Textures.prp' cannot be found ... So, another confirmation here again ...
