Border Prinzess BUG

**Valiant Champion** · January 20, 2010, 01:56 AM

I have had several consistent crashes related to attacking a slave army consisting of Carlsson units.

My hypothesis is not the slaves missing textures. As mercenary_units by default draw off of merc texture regardless of faction recruited or if they are slaves.

My hypothesis is that the mercenary bodyguard is using a slave general. If the unit is mercenary than having a slave general might cause a conflict.

Its a very bad bug and any help as to what it could be would be helpful.

I have debated giving the units empire slave models to find a way to bypass the model texture problem.

I even tried to break the log into two parts and still cant get the forum to upload. It says its too big.

I will post a few highlights out of the file that might be related.

In order from latest to earliest.

This one may be more telling. Border prince army sallied out to attack me.

Whats odd is all the references to averland heavy halberdmen yet I have fought many other battles with them against other factions and never a crash.

I wonder if this might be related to Averlands general unit Gunther which commands an Averland Halberd unit.

I do not have him in my army at the moment. Marius is general of my army.

Could it be that the general in the slave city is using a halberd unit by mistake?

However when I check the card it says border prince bodyguard on the strat map.

Why does the game try to parse faction_variations/slave?

For both attachment sets and textures.

Did you guys ever figure out what causes this crash.

It happens consistently over every installation I have used.

Always the same three cities and fighting against carlsson slave army.

I assume others have experienced it as well. Hard to believe I am the only one.

I don't think is Carlsson army related. I had a tzeenc army lay seige to me in one of the cities of the border prince region. When I launched a sally battle the game crashed. Could there be missing battle map, climate, building textures, terrain?

**Valiant Champion** · January 28, 2010, 09:15 PM

I have played a campaign battle against Carlsson slave in the border prince provinces and no ctd.

So I am narrowing it down to the settlements. There must be an error related to the settlements being used in the Border Prince region. (4 towns)

This would agree with the sally battle I had with a Tzeencht army from the base settlement in the border prince region. That was a ctd before the battle map loaded.

**Valiant Champion** · January 30, 2010, 01:08 AM

This may have something to do with middle eastern settlements.

**Valiant Champion** · January 31, 2010, 08:43 PM

I downloaded the game fresh and 12 turns in when I attack a border prince region settlement the game crashed.

Question.

How can I manipulate the game files so the game will parse for a different settlement type for the battle map?

I feel like I have narrowed this problem down to the settlements being used.

This bug still exists in version 1.03

**Werebear** · February 03, 2010, 03:28 PM

I test all border princes settlements, no CTD, i think problem on your side, dont know what is it

Could you put up a copy of the blockset folder?

**Bela** · February 04, 2010, 02:46 AM

Can you just use 7-zip and upload the complete log file here? I've never had a problem with the Border Princes provinces before (tested with dwarfs, orcs, and Empire in 1.02), could play the battles, siege them and they also sallied out sometimes.
It would be nice to see the whole log file (it should be easier for me to track the errors).

**Valiant Champion** · February 04, 2010, 08:18 AM

I will be attacking them soon again as I am still trying to play an Averland campaign and win it.

I will try that or I believe this time I could copy paste the important stuff this time more accurately. I have learned a bit more than I had before on what is relevant and what is not.

One more thing in my mind. Have you tried to auto_win the battles? For me, there were some battles, where it was a CTD when wanted to play (usually loading screen CTD) and others, where I could play with a CTD afterwards. If auto_win works, then problem possibilities are reduced.
