[Version 3.x] Campaign Issues

[Emperor Caesar]

Realized I posted int he wrong area before, likely why I got no response but would love to know if their is a solution to this issue - Battling at St. Louis, went through the battle twice and it crashed both times when loading back to campaign not in battle though. I can't auto resolve because I lose that every time.

No idea. I used to get this when battling around Richmond, apparently it had something to do with some bug in forts.

[Emperor Caesar]

Hmm weird since there is no fort at St. Louis.

This is for version 3.6.2
Hello,
I started a Union campaign('Merica) and for some reason whenever I finish a battle or even if I sim it, it crashes the game. It never used to happen in version 3.6 or 3.6.1. If someone could help me that would be great.

[Khorps]

I'm trying to run RTI 3. I'm on an administrator account and running Steam.

I can get into battles, and I think (haven't tried yet) even complete them and go back to the menu. I can also start a campaign as the Union. My problem is the game will crash when I end a turn.

I've noticed in the log file, that it doesn't say whether I'm running Steam, even though I am. It also doesn't say I'm an administrator, when I am and the control panel clearly tells me so.
But I'm not worried about those of course, after-all I can start a campaign just fine.

I tried to save on the first turn, and it crashed. Since the game autosaves every turn, I'm thinking the saving is what's causing the crash.

Is this something to do with me or the mod? I had ETF and DME installed first time I ran it. Removed their files and reinstalled ACW just for good measure.

[Khorps]

Somehow I fixed the problem. I still don't understand why the log wasn't recording if I was an admin or if Steam was running.

[droidbomber]

How do you get the warpath campaign option to work, sorry if it's an obvious answer. Thanks

[Chucaro]

I have the same problem! I can't get past turn 25 with CSA (only in one time but I do not know how!!) Please, help! I love this MOD!!!

P.S: Great Britain always declares the war on USA. ???

[hades512]

Hi i have the crash problem during Campaign. in 1863

[RickHARD]

I have the same problem! I can't get past turn 25 with CSA (only in one time but I do not know how!!) Please, help! I love this MOD!!!

I have the same identical issue, it seems a problem common to many of us, any help ?

[baozi]

Found a way around my campaign crash, think I saw this mentioned before. Playing CSA and encountered end turn crash, load auto save and peace out with USA. Get through the next turn, resume war. So far so good.

Version 3.6.2

I finally bought the game (before that I was utilizing a "free" version), because apparently some mods like total factions, this one & some others only work with Steam versions. I also bought the add-on pack with Warpath and some DLC (elite units, etc.). The only other MOD I have in the Steam version of the game is Total Factions, but it isn't "active" (game was set to vanilla). I can start the mod, I can play battles, but as soon as I try to start the CW campaign I CTD. I tried with both RTI & Warpath, with ZoR checked and unchecked, but none of them seem to do it. In the ACW 3.5 Installation thread one screenshot also has "Smoke" checked in the submod menu, but when I try that it says that it isn'T available yet. That shouldn't matter, however, since the instructions only said to start ZoR. It DOESN'T say "powered by ZoR" on the loading screen, but it does move some files around when I click/check it.

Anyone else having that problem and/or knows how to remedy it?

Like I said, Battles seem to work fine (I finished Gettysburg Day II on Warpath w/o ZoR).

[McAngrypants]

Not sure if it helps, but it said in the acwhelp.exe to copy/include this:

"Current Campaign: RTI3"

Try setting campaign in launcher to Warpath.



My settings, works fine.

Thanks for your reply, but:

I tried with both RTI & Warpath, with ZoR checked and unchecked, but none of them seem to do it.

Also another thing: I notice people talking in this or in the other thread (maybe in both) that there is an option to start with or without armies etc. Since I didn't see it in the launcher menues (unless I missed it), I figure it is something one picks when clicking Single Player and then picks a Campaign? I am not sure if my screen is supposed to look like this, but I get a bunch of option bars that let me pick a Battle or Campaign and the rest all say "-0" when ZoR is active (when clicking them I get to what is probably quick battle, asks if I want war on sea or war on land; Road to Independence Campaign which says not available and the one below Campaign simply crashes the game also) and simply "-" when ZoR is not active. Is that the same for everyone else? Or is there something wrong then? Also do you have to completely start Steam a new, before launching, or is it okay if it has been running in the background the whole time (I almost never shut off my PC and Steam is always on)?!

Screenshots for the menues:

[Boris the Soviet Love Hammer]

I honestly wish I could play this mod more but it is frustrating that I can't past turn 25 while playing as the CSA. I've looked all over but can't find anything that helps.

[scruffy505]

mod is broken and kinda dead, rip

[Grasshead]

My game crashes at turn 25. I've done a fresh install of both mod and game. interestingly enough, the first time I load up the mod, the launcher works perfectly fine. However, after that, I recieve the "there are files in Empire's data folder that belong neither to vanilla, nor ACW mod." error. I am going to try again doing RTI 3 campaign this time. I do hope it works. If I'm not on here, find me on steam PowderedToastMan
