REPORT TATW 3.2 Bugs & Issues (Read 1st post before posting, this thread is not for fixing bugs and issues, just for reporting them!)

Gondor's Fountain Guards seem to walk very quickly. Even when they are in spear wall formation, they arrive in position well ahead of other troops. Is this because they are elite, or is this a bug?

I've got a 3.2 fresh install, no mods. playing eriador and trying to attack hoarwell with a large army lead by aragorn. hoarwell has a large army lead by saruman. every time i try to do this battle it crashed. i tried all the tips for fixing stability and tried reinstalling the game. i tried starting from an earlier save point and played several rounds before coming to this same result. ive certainly had battles with more people in it before so i dont think thats the issue even though this is the largest battle ive had so far in this campaign. i just dont know what could be causing these ctd's.

Just got a CTD during a battle so thought I'd post here in hopes it might help someone with future debugging / stability.

Vanilla 3.2 install, no sub-mods. Playing as Eriador in campaign, around turn 110. Circumstance were: my full stack army led by Gandalf attacking a small force of Orcs in open field beside Rivendell, with Rivendell garrison (currently owned by OotMM) joining the battle as reinforcements. Snowy weather conditions. The battle loaded and proceeded fine for about a min or two before crashing. Possibly it was related to the reinforcements or reinforcing general entering the battlefield during that time.

Edit: Have tried it several times now with same result. Tried attacking from a different square, tried waiting a turn, neither had any effect. The game still crashed when the reinforcing general reached the battlefield. I tried not moving my army in the battle until all of the reinforcements had entered the battle and that seemed to have worked, the battle did not crash when the reinforcing general touched the battlefield. But then it crashed anyway as soon as the first archer attempted to fire a shot.

i just started a High Elves campaign in 3.2. I attacked an Isengard army next to Duneard to avoid activating the garrison script, and this army was reinforced by the garrison. I attacked the reinforcing army, and it crashed (unspecified error). I tried various suggestions put forward (removing daylight saving time, not moving until the reinforcing army had turned up etc), but nothing worked. I then attacked the initial army, and after doing that, the screen hung (another crash). Log entry is very similar to Neige Noire's.

Could this be connected to the HE faction? This is the first reinforcement battle I have fought in this campaign. and I've had a multitude of reinforcement battles playing as Eriador in 3.2, and had no problems whatsoever.

1. Bug: When you go to Options in the main menu you could see ver. 1.05 in top right corner.
Possible solution: This should be changed to match version number or invisible.

2. Bug: In the intro movie you could see text from "Medieval 2" intro movie.

Reproduction: In options enable subtiltes. Exit and enter game.

Solution: There should be correct text or none of it.

3 Bug: Caras Galadhon was the place where Celeborn lived NOT Cerin Amroth

Solution: Haldir should be in Cerin Amroth and Celeborn should be "Lord of Lorien" in Caras Galadhon

This is the version of M2TW installed. It is an important piece of information for trouble-shooting. This may be hard coded, but should be displayed to help eliminate one possible cause of the mod not launching correctly.

Hey im new and im having this problem, whenever i start a new third age campaign and then get to the actual game my map in the bottom left corner isnt coverd by the fog of war. I've tried toggling it on and off but it doesnt help. This makes the game not fun for me can some one help?

**SlartyBartfast** · June 27, 2012, 03:44 PM

Keep getting a random crash in this battle. It might be due to Faramir?

**Gongsunzan** · June 27, 2012, 08:00 PM

I dont kno if this is a bug and im pretty sure i got the correct 3.2 patch, but i seiged erebor as ootmm in an invasion and the dwarves like wandered off into a random part of the settment amd sat there i tried marching to the center of map to take it but that area is inaccesible so i coukdnt take the settlment without goin after the gliched defenders.

I have the same error in battle script, but this only happens when the enemy has reinforcements. Do they have reinforcements in your game too?

I believe alot more have this same issue, but they are not reported as the same kind of issue. We really need someone like KK or Germanicus to look at this, but he's not answering PMs.

I got a CTD when a orc army attacked my army besieging the silvan city occupied by the orcs near Moria (I don't remember the name).

I occassionally had this crash, i autoresolved and went on. my crash was intermittent. I suspect it's a memory leak somewhere but I have 8G so that might account for it's rarity ????

**Rhaenys Targaryen** · July 03, 2012, 04:30 PM

I found a mistake or something that was forgotten, I was playing as Rhun in a custom battle and my general died, the text on the "Noble Death" screen is completely from vanilla M2TW.

Reposting this here from the Crashing thread per StealthFox's suggestion:

Greetings everyone! I've been following this mod since 1.1 and would like to thank KK and the rest of the TATW team for the amazing job they've done over the years. Unfortunately these crashes that keep occuring have made my dream of conquering Middle Earth difficult.

I am playing vanilla TATW 3.2 on Windows XP Professional. I have the standard M2TW and Kingdoms add-on (not gold or Steam edition). I am playing as Isengard and am 31 turns into my campaign. As I end my turn, Rohan attacks Fangorn. During the battle loading screen, the game crashes and leaves me with a black screen and one-ring-of-death. I assume there is an error message with a prompt that I cannot see behind the black screen, as pushing enter clears it and returns me to my desktop.

Undeterred, I decided to move my forces out of Fangorn and let the town fall so that I could play out my siege of Lond Daer on the next turn. Unfortunately the exact same kind crash occured as I ordered my forces to attack Lond Daer!

I've tried the Daylight Savings suggestion, no luck (although I was really hoping that it would work and it sounded just crazy enough to!).
I deleted the descr_geography_new db and text files, no luck.
Custom battles seem to work fine.
I've attached my save game file if anyone would be so awesome as to check it out and see if the problem occurs for them as well. In the meantime I am open to suggestions.
