TAR Launcher settings that work and do not work?

[ToonTotalWar]

Ok all, thought I would start this thread so that all members can report back on which options work and do not work in the Launcher, as we are aware of many CTD's when changing any of the options in "Advanced Options".

This will be valuable for moving the mod forward to the next stage, thanks.

There are 16 options in "Advanced options"

Stable
Battle Flags
Movement Arrows
TAR Units Relaxed
Artillery Faster Reload
Grenades
All Forts
Tech Research
Battlefield Weather
Indians
All Forts
Sound Effects
Fonts
Languages

Do not work and cause CTD
Battlefield Borders
Campaign Markers
Enlarged Deployment Zones

You may add the markers and deployment zones as defenitely not working (these are the notorious 3,along with the borders, that we allready know of since the start)

As far as i know,is that other options sometimes work for one user while not working for others.

Maybe you should also expand your notification in the DL thread,saying that besides the 3 mentioned,the others can be changed one at a time to see if they work(if not,revert back to the default setting)

Futher i will also give this a try for each option and report back here.

Ok I have updated the list above and the only three options that are listed are the faulty ones fir now that I can find!
I Appreciate if others can test and report back as this will speed up the final release of TAR mod, thanks

I cant the stop game from crashing. I have windows 7 64bit. I downloaded the Empire and i installed the mod. when i try to play the game it chrashes after i click start in the grand campaign. It doesnt seem to matter which campaign i pick (grand, revolution, 13 colonies). I have noticed, in the revolutionary campaign the US doesnt have any territories. i havent disabled or enabled any advanced option. i have tried running as administrator. i deleted the preferences.txt script and fx_cache files. i dont have norton.

Well this sounds like youve tried all fix options and it still doesnt work

No other Mods installed and/or old Mod overs and/or old save games left?

Try resetting the TAR userscripts through the diagnostics option from the launcher,then reboot PC and try to start a Campaign again.

Wlcome to the forums and keep us posted.

I dont have any mods installed. I have been playing the rome total war mod Res Bellicae. I just redownloaded Empire from steam and downloaded your mod yesterday. i havent downloaded anything else. I think i am going to download TAR from another download link. I dont know if this could help you solve my predicament.... In the revolution campaign, after i click grand campaign and i go to select a nation, i have noticed that the US has 0 terriorties

The 0 regions is correct,but the campaign will be there but thats not the issue here.
What is making your campaigns crash is.

You ran the vanilla game before installing and it ran fine ?

You have described that you have tried all fix options from this post;http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=410799, so the last resort will be if you post us some screenshots of your data and scripts folders so we can have a look.

Yes i checked to see that the game worked before installing TAR. Here are some screenshots. I hope you can help because i really want to play this mod.

everything looks correct, when you said you redownloaded ETW from steam?
did you mean you unistalled it,then redownloaded it?
and if that is correct, do you play any other mods before you reinstalled it?
your problem is when the game loads the user script something is making it crash...in case i dont hear from you or you hear from me try this, remove everything that is tar 2.0 from the computer
i.e. tar scripts,everything in the data folder, and use the control panel/programs and maksure the mod is completely erased.
then open steam/etw/properties and run the verify the gamecache to make sure all the ETW files are vanilla (not corrupt or been changed by other mods)
once that is done run the ETW game in vanilla and makesure it runs correct,then reinstall TAR total war, and run it without touching any settings(advanced options,year turn, etc..)
it should run, i play TAR for etw(and unistalled and installed it dozens of times), LME(with Toons all-in-one....I adjusted the stats to LME's) for NTW, and stainless steel and broken crescent on MTW2 without any problems.
if you need more help be sure to post ...hope this helps
takecare

Also try resetting your userscripts through the diagnostics option in the advanced options menu.

Like this: Go to advanced options>diagnostics and modding>enable diagnostics>reset TAR user script.

Then reboot PC and try again.

Thanks. I got it to work. i have a question however. In the campaign of the revolution, why does the us only get 3 regions?

Because thats historically correct with the start of the war of independance

i wish the map was bigger so it could include all of the important places. I would like to point out that in no way shape or form did the british occupy charlestown in 1775.

Great news !

Remember this is still a Beta as we are still working on the Technical and Historical aspects of the Mod.

For now enjoy !

oh fantastic. i always thought that with the new total wars, modding the map was impossible. That would be awesome if the map had more american cities and towns. If you need any historical backround i could be of assistance. my Revolutionary war era knowledge is a little hazy but i studied it extensively a few years back. My expertise is in the Civil War and Napoleonic era.

Well i didnt say that the map was going to be modified as this isnt possible(yet),but we are allways trying to add more historical modifications to the mod if possible
