CAE v1.4 Bug&CTD Thread

[Zephrelial]

Heyo Z, I'm sorry to bug ya, but I think your mod has a great deal to offer. I think that you have put a lot of work into this and your prompt responses to player problems mean that you still really care. So of course, I have to make a request...could you please fix the unit upkeep costs for the new (or unlocked) factions you have introduced.

I play as the Mongols mostly, but if I can raise huge armies without paying there is really no point. I want to play this great mod, and I've imposed many "house rules" on myself, but its hard to keep track.

I like a challenge and the feeling that no matter how big my empire gets, I could potentially lose at any time (living dangerously)...haha. Anyway, I appreciate your efforts and time.

Thanx Z!

General Varro not to confuse people and keep things a bit tidy,I request you to paste your suggestion HERE or HERE

And I will answer there,thank you.

D:\Games\Medival total war is where the game is currently installed. and i look in
D:\Games\Medival total war\data
and
D:\Games\Medival total war\CloudsAcrossEurope\data

and i dont see either of those files

in the D:\Games\Medival total war\data file it just has these folders

animations, cursors, models_strat, ui, world, CloudsAcrossEurope, fmv, sounds and unit_models.

i did a search of the D:\Games\Medival total war directory and not files with the name geography even came up .

Ok.. got it.Apparently you haven't unpacked.. One important question the installer by default install to it under "C:\ " since your game,m2tw is installed under D:\ and not C:\,while installing the mod,have you changed the installer's installation directory accordingly?

If you haven't,uninstall the mod,and then run the mod's installer again and this time set the mod's installation path to:

D:\Games\Medival total war\data

[Xolnos]

ya i installed it to the D drive but just to be safe i uninstalled it as you said and put it into the Data folder. now it wont even launch lol. the small black box just flashes for a split second then nothing.

also, i still dont see any of the geography files

Edit: sorry for all the troubles

There was no need for you to uninstall it since apparently you've already set the installation directory accordingly.

How could this be? :hmmmlease restore the mod to its former position.

IMPORTANT


This is for everyone that get CTDs and especially stuck at a turn,not being able to pass it.First pm me and I will specify my e-mail,and then send your saved game to my e-mail.. I will take a look and see if I'll get the CTD,too,and will try to fix it or fix whatever may be missing in the mod(?) so that those CTDs won't occur.

Your saved games are located under the C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\CloudsAcrossEurope\saves folder.It's a SAV file.

Thank you.

I was trying to install CAE v1.4 and when it was 80% finished the installing process ended and said " CAE could not be finished" or something. Do you know whY?

No,why?

[Eranshahr]

sorry that I reported something I thought was a problem with the game, that prevents me from playing it.

No problem at all.I hope everything is fine now.

I have read all the thread from page 1 to 9, but i still can't figure if all the fixes and bugs solved during discussions were updated in the downloadable version. Are they? or do I have to fix every one of them separately?
Secondly, I get a crash too when I play Wallachia at about 10th turn. It's the thing with the overlapping images over the menus and the quit to desktop after immediate end turn. I hope you know what I am talking about.
Thirdly, I see people complain about similar things at different new factions, could it be possible that when you solve things for let's say Sweden, try and look for the exact errors on every other new faction? because maybe when you modded the stuff, you did the same errors for every faction.
Finally, nice mod, looking forward for it to get working,

[jimmy spong]

is the fix now included in instalation ? if not did you install fix ?

[horatiu665]

I have found the problem that gives me the CTD when playing wallachia. Every time I look at the properties of the Pirate Ship (by right clicking on it, you know), textures overlap so that instead of an ok button it's a part of the sky and all that. Anything I do after the overlap leads to CTD. I don't know how to fix the problem, i'm just reporting it. Also, try to solve the same thing for every pirate ship in the game (rebel's one, lithuania if they have one ecc.)

I'd just like to say I experience this same problem. Once the textures change I am at least able to save my game, but after that anything I do leads to a CTD. I am playing as Sweden.

[Stormrage]

Hi there! Its my first post here! First I want to thank you for this wonderfull mod. Now thats out of the way, its time to do some bi+ching

I bought the game online just recently, and since they include every new patch that comes out, its highly probable that I have patch 1.1 installed.

Infact, when I click the M2TW icon in the game`s folder, go to properties, version, etc. it says 1.1. In the game`s Readme file it says 1.2. I`m a bit confused here..

When I asked the company I bought it from egzactly what version I recieved, they said something like: "path 1.3 will be there soon". Yeah, thanks, not really an answer tho. Since the mod is running, I presume they added 1.2 to my edition.

Anyhoo, I tried a game with the Teutonic Order and the Lithuanians and Ruskies are giving me CTD`s. I am fairly new to this game, and totally new to modding it, sorry I can`t explain betetr.
The crashes occur when a battle is about to start in their territories (the RTS mode hasn`t begun yet.). They might happen in my territory too, but I wouldn`t know yet, been playing offensively.

Thanks in advance for any help that you might offer


Edit: Another one.

I played as England, I was besieging Rennes. They sallied forth. The camera zoomed on the 2 map-generals, showed me my odds (the thingy where you get to pick a Night Battle), and then when I clicked to start it crashed...

Also, I forgot to mention before, this is the only mod I have.

Edit 2:
Clicking Sweden`s icon when choosing my faction for the Grand Campaign makes the game CTD. Also happened before with one of the new factions this mod brings, but I forgot which one.

LE GRAND EDIT:
I tried that thing with the FMV folder mentioned in this thread before, now I can run the mod without any problems!

[denzil10]

Hey, firstly I have to say this is such a great mod so thanks Zephrelial! I am having a slight problem however. The only new factions I can play as are the Tutons, Khwarezm and Jerusalem. The others do not appear.

I have METW 2, Kingdoms, patch v1.2 and COE v.1.4 installed so I don't know the problem. Also there is no specific CAE desktop icon, just a standard METW one. I am sure its a simple problem but I can't find any advice anywhere. Would be very much appreciative of any help!! Thanks.

[Stormrage]

Well, you have to start the mod with the CAE icon, otherwise its just Vanilla M2TW. Try reinstalling the mod?

[denzil10]

Well thats just it its not vanilla METW its got 3 of the added extra factions. Tried reinstalling it but I just get the same problem.

Could it be because I downloaded CAE from a different website. It just says Download-session invalid after the countdown whenever I try and download it here.

Hello Horace,yes all the fixes are updated and added to the main upload of the mod,so you don't have to download&install any of the fixes.The same goes for anyone who plays CAE.The lates version CAE v1.4 includes all the essential fixes,so no worries there.

About this crash,I know what you're talking about.I know the solution thanks to SV of the Sicilian Vespers mod,the problem is I'm not sure of its feasebility due to the new factions are added and vanilla factions aren't converted into new factions.The game doesn't entirely accept the new symbols tga page so that this CTD happens randomly.It's passable though just make sure you let the game to autosave.

If you refer to the CTD reports,I've made 2 tests sofar one of them I did about 2 weeks ago on CAE v1.4.I played the mongols and have reached the year 1400,without a single CTD.So the key here is to refrain from using any cracked exe's and trying to pay attention to the installation issue such as no patch v1.1,no fixes or mini-mods for CAE etc.

is the fix now included in instalation ? if not did you install fix ?

Yep Jimmy all the fixes are included to the mod's upload file.

Yes this issue is the same I mentioned when replying to the former report of you.Thank you for the report it's a known issue.

There is a possibility that your main m2tw game is installed elsewhere other than the installation directory of programfiles/SEGA..

So change the installation path of the installer accordingly- check where exactly your m2tw game is installed and set the default installation directory accordingly.

eg.

If your game is installed under your games folder :

C:/Games/SEGA should be your installation directory.The short cut on desktop should be there.But if you can't spot it,try launching the mod by double clicking CloudsAcrossEurope.bat file located under the medieval II total war folder.
