Try entering mod TAR_Booster.pack and see what happens?? also have you downloaded TAR Booster pack 1.2?? as the units in question are all in there and NOT in the Update 8 pack?

Toon I’ve been downloading the booster pack multiple times over the past weeks and I’ve just got it working I wrote mod TAR Booster.pack into ALL the TAR script files and that fixed it.

You should not need to do that as the entry would automatically go in the script file when you download the booster pack??

No scripts apearing in custom set up......
the game crashed when i was beseiging mogul......this is probably due to a driver thing anyway..... or no! CA, anyway, i restarted my computer and went back into grand campaign, opened up custom play, but nothing happens?? the little black box apears for a fraction of a second, then its gone. So i went into my C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts and tried the whole thing again, clicking on Custom play,... again No script apears so i thought Ah ... ok tried the same on 1773 game and pressing the cusom button brings up the script/ so it seems that that option works fine, i mean that the early period works fine but not my late period game. if anyone has any ideas then give me a bell, this is the second time this has happened after a ctd. so i presume that if in game yoir game crashes then some how it effects the user script.

the thing is i dont want to have to re-install the game evry time the game ctd, otherwise it would simply be unplayble for me.

gary,im having the same like problems
whenever my game ctds due to graphicscard/driver related issues,the script of my late gc is affected,as in not showing anymore when being clicked on!
No need to reinstall the whole game at all!;The thing i do is ;go to advanced options in TAR menu;click enable Tar Diagnostics,;then reset TAR scripts !
Then the script will be back and functional again
After that reboot pc and voila!
1thing tho!: ALL manually added mods will be gone from the script,so make sure to make a copy somewhere and then just copy and paste the lines and your back in business!



@aorda;make sure you have removed everything from Empires and CA from youre pc!
The creative Assembly maps with the scripts and all ,are often hidden maps ,so maybe you didnt get them all
After Complete uninstall and reinstall of the game,it all should work a 100% for sure!

I don't know if this is mod related or not, but I have had this problem since 1.4 and 1.5 autoupdated on me:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This is not the best picture to illustrate, but during battles random soldiers often flash between being detailed and an almost intentional looking blur at certain camera ranges. (note the blurry soldier in the red ring) It is really annoying because when it happens to 4 men out of a force of 160 or so it is as jarring as neon lights.

I have noticed the graphic quality at distances have gone down noticably since 1.4 and 1.5.

Does anyone have any insight on this issue?

Thank you,

This is what the call a Sprite problem, its to do with the LOD texture from a certain angle that is zoomed out will give this blurred fuzzy effect. there is nothing that we can do as this is a CA problem and not mod related.
I understand that some modders have tried to get rid of the Sprite problem but no results as yet

[Newman55f9]

Thanks Toon! It is quite annoying. Did it start for everyone else after 1.4 too?

[MorganH.]

Yep,the Sprite issue has become bigger after 1.4/1.5,same as ultra graphical settings which create more lag then before!
As a result ,for example,i had to decrease my line infantry units from 500 men p. unit to 240 p .unit,to let it remain playable without any severe lag,really strange!

Okay I have a strange CTD. I have instal all the things on the procedure: The 1.5 gigs "tar" plus the uptade and the booster pack. When I start the laucher and click on one of the campagne, (Like 1775) the game lauch and pouff CTD for reason I do not know. But to try this game out, I start the mod manager, try to make the file in order and then start the mod with the mod manager and I still can play but I realy think I miss some feature, what I do not know but this is my impression because this is realy too easy. I play on Hard campagne map and Normal battle difficulty with the USA and I don't have any probleam with the english, they just come and get kill. Maybe there is something wrong with and this is why I want to know if any of you could help me to get the game start with the laucher. Thank you.

Dont touch Mod Manager please!!! this is why you are having problems! please read this thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=303449

[Gadadngor]

The TAR Team supports the TAR Launcher, we do not support Mod Manager. For the best results and best compatiblity, the TAR Launcher is recommended. For those who insist on using Mod Manager for TAR.PLEASE NOTE: You CAN NOT use the TAR Launcher and Mod Manager as the SAME TIME!!! Each tries to use it's own user script file. One will try to overwrite the other andWILLcause problems, soDON'T DO IT!If you really must use Mod Manager, the you will have to forgo using the TAR Launcher. This may also cause some TAR features to not work properly.

That I know well, I have deleate scrips using by Mod Manager in app Data but I still can't start the game with the TAR laucher, I have a CTD everytime I try. I don't use any other mod, and the script file active itself correcly. I will uninstal the mod and instal it again to see if this work.

Just to say that I reinstal the mod and now all work find! Great mod thanks you!

I know that this has been flogged to death before, and that it´s a pet hate of Hip´s, but it´s the issue of installing the mod.

I´ve now tried every link (some several times) and downloaded the mod successfully each time. But when installing they ALL show the TAR_BMusic.pack to be corrupted and no install is possible. Therefore, for me anyway, the mod is a none starter. Re-downloading or trying different links/mirrors has the same result.

As my knowledge of how mods work etc is limited ..... well, very limited actually, is there a way around this problem? Can that corrupted file be removed prior to install, for example? Or can anyone suggest a link where they know there are no corrupted files?

The wife´s away for a few days so I was hoping to get stuck into the Yanks, but alas, so far all I can do is read about how great the mod is.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
