Bug reporting for v3.0

This topic is meant to report Bugs or Crashes to Desktop. Please, do not post here if you have modded the files by yourself.
I'll try to keep a list of confirmed bugs, please read it before you post a new one.

Thank you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current list of known Crash To Desktop (CTD) causes, and suggested solution:

1) CTD at the start of a new campaign, just when the campaign map appears.
If campaigns were working and later they start to crash, the cause is a corrupted "advice" file. It is fixed by removing these two files:
...\alexander\lotrtw\data\world\maps\campaign\Alexander\map.rwm
...\alexander\lotrtw\preferences\advice
(don't worry, the game will generate a new one)

2) Trolls (and similar units like Ents or Sauron) may cause a crash in battle on some computers (in other computers there is only a visual glitch).
The chances of crash are higher at night battles, so try to avoid them when there are trolls/ents in some of the armies.
There are chances of crash only when some of these units appear in the field of view of the camera. A workaround is to minimize the time that trolls/ents appear in the screen.

3) CTDs during battles use to be related to sound settings.
Set sounds in options to Miles 2D Audio, and problem should be fixed.

4) CTDs just after a battle (while loading the campaign map again) use to be caused by wrong video resolution settings.
If you delete the preferences file, the game will create a new one based on your computer specs:
...\alexander\lotrtw\preferences\preferences.txt
