ctd and bugs I found

[Tenerife_Boy]

Okay This is really annoying. Let´s explain:
I started various campaign with Romans and each time the script of hannibal gonna attack me and I accept the battle, the game CTD and in log.txt doesn´t appears nothing. Also there´s no error message.
I decided to pass a turn and hannibal siege a city and so there´s no bug...well I shall accept it.

Now I want to ask about this bug: I´m sieging Carthage, so when I use the siege tower units doesn´t climb it and so can´t get into the walls. why?




Another question is that I see the menu with too much shine, is that so?


PC: XP SP3 32bits, 4GB RAM,1TROM,Gforce 9800GT.(I don´t think this could be the cause of problems)
RTW Version: Alex 1.9
Steam: No
Install Path: D:\COPIA PARA ROME SURRECTUM II\Rome - Total War
Launcher Options:RomeTW-Alex.exe, Roman Campaign, High Res unit models, Post-Marian Roman General, High Quality Vegetation, no bloom.

The problem of units not getting into some towers is a RTW bug is a RTW bug and not mod specific.

The shiny UI is caused by you having Bloom Effects - if you read the install instructions it's clearly stated there.

"Another problem with the bloom is that the UI is too bright. You can disable it for the campaign map using shift+f12, and re-enable it for battle with the same keys."

Yep that's a RTW bug and the brightness is the bloom setting.

As was suggested in the install thread if you use the bloom effect it's probably best to play with 'Minimal UI' which reduces the UI to glare on the battle screen.

Minimal UI looks like this and to me is better:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The command keys are set to be 'mouse over'. The interface can be removed or toggled using PF5, PF6 and PF7 (I think - check in the Control settings in the Options Menu (it may be PF6, PF7 and PF8)).

Also if you use this I suggest that you set up battle speed control key on the Control settings (Battle) in the Options for Pause,. Normal, Doble and Triple as this interface does not have them anymore (I use Shift+P, Shift+N, Shift+D and Shift+T).... If you don't do this then the battle speed will be set to normal and can't nbe changed.

I don't know if you didn't notice, but he said,

Launcher Options:RomeTW-Alex.exe, Roman Campaign, High Res unit models, Post-Marian Roman General, High Quality Vegetation, no bloom.

So if what he wrote was accurate, then it may not be a bloom settings issue.

Well that is the dark bloom setting. I'm 100% sure.

@Tenerife_Boy - The siege tower bug is on large stone walls where they use enclosed tower as in your pic. I'm still installing RS2, but in vanilla and RS1, if you click on 'top' of the wall to the left and then right of your siege tower and 'repeat as often as necessary', I've been able to get the men to enter and climb the tower. Very tedious, especially to get the last man in, but it worked for me.
Hope that trick still works in RS2!
Happy conquering!
