Bug Reports for 6.3! - Post CTDs in a new topic!

[gord96]

In regards to helping with a custom .exe for working with Steam I would help but I can't install SS till there's a different download mirror/torrent. Till that time gord should be able to help.

Kind Regards
Will

Mexas figured out the new command line. @mods\SS6.3\default.cfg

[Kazuhiro]

I haven't managed to start the game yet. When I run ss I get a 'Cannot locate kingdoms.exe. Is it in your m2tw folder?'.
kingdoms.exe is in my medieval 2 folder so this is a problem. Can anyone help with that?

@Therion
That's some kind of a graphical glitch, and probably only on your computer.

@Historydude
I'll pm y2 about that issue since he can send me the right .tga.dds files in no time.

@TheKnightRoberts
Can you go inside your stainless steel folder?
backspace twice and tell me if you see kingdoms.exe there, and tell me what folder did you land in too
If thats not working then move SS into a directory like c:\games or something like that and run launcher again.

Thanks for the help Gracul, but I decided just to reinstall kingdoms. I remember messing around with the original m2tw folder and downloading alternative exe files when I downloaded the rr/rc compilation.
I changed the names of the exe files around and I think I lost the original
But nothing will stop me from my historically accurate medieval turn based strategy gaming!!!!!!!!

Byzantine navies are reffered too as Roman navies, but family members are byzantine family members. Not sure if this is a bug or not, but thought I'd point it out

english levy archers seems to be reconsidered infantry... Ctrl+M doesn't choose them, but Ctrl+I does...

EDIT: seems to be more units which has the wrong unit type... Irish Kerns are also considered infantry... and I THINK I saw another unit with the wrong type... not sure which though...

Lithuanian Generals Shield and Weapon texture is still wacky. 3/4 of the Shield is Silver Surfer and Sword has what looks like shield texture on half of it.

Hashashim with only 1hp it's normal?

[Caesar Clivus]

*Sigh* those files, Ceaser, didn't work for me. I tried to make a hotfix for them aswell, that would install them with minimal possibilities for confusion, but the files simply didn't work. Could you tell me what I would have to change to fix it manually? I looked around the files, unsure of which would I change, but I can't open the majority of files so I got stuck anyway :/

Did you follow my instructions fully? Did you rename the files and put them in the proper folders?

Bug: SS_setup.exe and launcher.exe fail to start. Error message: "Create process failed; code 14001."
See: Problems installing 6.3

Ok, not really a bug... maybe it should be added in the faq or as a prerequisite.

Byg's Grim Reality IV Specific Bugs:

BUG #1: Scutage Tax CTD thread here

BUG #2: Start-of-game agents all have supply traits (i.e. 100% Army Supplies - though they don't increase/decrease each turn). Recruited agents seem unaffected, but agents granted at game start (checked spy, diplomat, merchant, cardinal) have the traits.

Accuracy Issues:

ISSUE #1: Bohemond di Taranto was the Prince of Antioch during 1100 A.D. after the First Crusade, I can't find any sources to suggest he was associated with Edessa, yet he is now the governer of Edessa in The Crusader States' early era campaign in 6.3, whereas in 6.2 + RR/RC he was correctly the governer of Antioch.

Of course. I tried twice. Three times even! Redownloaded and tried again. If I didn't listen to rules well, I really shouldn't be helping people out at all.

But is there any chance you could pm the things you changed so I could look and make sure those changes are there? because i no longer have my originals, just the ones i downloaded from you and put in there

[kingman1337]

I got one small bug;

I disabled RR, yet it still has RR material in the mod.

[Alpha Zeke]

What kind of material? Disabling RR (I believe) only disables the recruitment restrictions on units.

History Dude, if you're refering to the faction flags, I had issues following the instructions to... See here:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

EARLY ERA

Download EARLY descr_sm_factions.txt and place it in your C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\campaign\early\data directory. Delete the present 'descr_sm_factions.txt' file and rename the 'EARLY' file to that (descr_sm_factions.txt).

LATE ERA

Download LATE descr_sm_factions.txt and place it in your C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\campaign\late\data directory. Delete the present 'descr_sm_factions.txt' file and rename the 'LATE' file to that (descr_sm_factions.txt).

ABRA CADABRA

Now copy & paste the brand new & renamed .txt file for the campaign you're playing (early if early, late if late) to your C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data directory.

Essentially that's a new file in two directories, and copying one of them into a parent directory.

I have literally just got this working for me in the last 10 minutes, so it should work for you, too.

Gracul, your 'KNOWN BUGS' post relating to this fix fails to mention the part about copying the relevent .txt file into the parent data directory; that's probably where people (like me) went wrong.

Caesar, can you tell me if I'm playing an early campaign, and decide to load a late campaign, I'll need to re-copy the relevent .txt into C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data everytime I change campaign eras?

Education system seems present in terms of 'Administratively/Military Minded' and 'Basic Western Education' traits, but the education buildings don't seem to be present? Schools, Libraries etc.

Upon entering the building browser, schools start showing up at the minor city level. I do not run BGR IV, but I should assume that it is also the same for BGR IV.

Hmm i don't understand how you came across this fix, and that certainly is not what ceaser said (unless im blind) but i will gladly try it out! thanks!

Ok now that I've downloaded and installed 6.3, I can see that some faction banners are messed up. Took a look at the factions file and found the problem.

Early Era
Attachment 101253

Late Era
Attachment 101254

Rename the files to just descr_sm_factions and put them in their respective folders (SS6.3\data\campaign\early\data and SS6.3\data\campaign\late\data respectively. Then copy the file into SS6.3\data\ for whatever campaign you're playing currently. Should be savegame compatible.

He did say; just didn't word it very well - And also gracul neglected to add this part to the first post =]

Ah yes, you're quite right.

I have, however, noticed a coded typo in the castles building browser

No you wont. That's why you copied the two files into the backup folders for each campaign
