Here There Be Snakes: Bug Reports & Tech Help

[AJStoner]

Ok .. I tried the new export_descr_unit.txt and now I can't open the saved game.

my2bob

That's because base info for saved units has changed; sometimes changes to the EDU are compatible and sometimes not. A new game will likely be necessary. Sorry, forgot to warn you that might happen.

I am a steam user. Just to make sure, it should be in the Sega mods folder? I've tried it in both places, but no dice

[AJStoner]

I don't know much about Steam myself, that's Rubicon's area and I think he's away for the holidays. Check this LINK for Steam help.

Also, if you have not disabled the Virtual Store for M2TW you should do so. Instructions HERE.

Disappointingly my save game has died. Crashes after the Barons Alliance turn. No reason as to why it happens

[y2day]

Do you know how to find the log? (SEGA\Medieval II Total War\logs) Take a peek and search for error and let us know what it says.

[Sharpe]

Had a look and this is what the log file said.

Also on a gameplay note, it might be worth giving two handed axemen the two handed swordsmen animation, it makes them a lot more effective and less bugged.

[AJStoner]

Okay, these "PercentageUnitCategory" errors are nothing--you can ignore them. In fact there is a programs in the downloads section some place that will stop the game from reporting them. Was it an "unspecified error" when it crashed? It could be a bad install; this is a new installer and so we may not have shaken out all the bugs though, in general, it seems to be working well in most cases.

It's also possabile your game became corrupted which happens sometimes. If it keeps crashing on the same npc faction's turn that's often a sign of that. Will look further into the Baron's Alliance scripts and see if I find anything.

[Sharpe]

Yeah it was an unspecified error. No worries started with Wales now and am really enjoying it.

Let me know if you want any playtesting done, I would be happy to help.

[Ballacraine]

Small bug I came across.

Playing as England, when a merchant goes to an apple icon on the map, in the roster it shows up as trading in furs.

Thanks, will fix that.

[Ballacraine]

Here is another for you.

Again playing as England, I received this mission.

I already reported that earlier (CTDs when going to battle with Scotland). I found a perpetrator - missing texture LN_Lmail_Hmail_scotland.texture. I installed mod twice and had this problem on both installs so there is good chance that it could be a problem of installer.

[y2day]

mazur49, I don't think that file is included in RB. Do you have the British Isle expansion installed? This file isn't in MEII vanilla install. I don't have the British Isle expansion unpacked but if I had to guess, I would think it is in the British Isle Kingdoms expansion. That is why it isn't crashing for me. Can anyone else confirm this? if not I can unpack it.

[mazur49]

I have all expansions installed including BI but I have not unpacked dat files. As a temp solution I took liberty to make replacement texture for those who may suffer the same problem.

[IrishHitman]

I keep getting unspecified errors causing CTD when I try to fight Scottish armies over a certain size (i.e. greater likelihood that the missing texture will be need in said armies) on the battlemap.
I'm trying to find some way of avoiding the problem for now, but my AAR is seriously delayed because of it.

[Ballacraine]

Trait conflict.

A trait that should have been removed for this character.

Hey, quick question. Downloaded the game, and everything seems to be working fine. The one problem is that the game will minimize itself after I hit the end turn button, usually when it goes to move for either the English or the Danish faction. I am able to bring it back up no problem and continue playing, so it's not like it's actually crashing. It's as if Alt-Tab got hit, but my hands aren't even on the keyboard. Any suggestions?

Not really sure, are you running any other programs at the same time as this? If you are then it might be worth trying RB by itself and see if it still does it.

[AJStoner]

Yes, this is a new one on me. Does it happen with any other mods/apps?

[metsikhovne]
