The Great War 5.1 | Bug reports, crashes & solutions.

[Poetic Pariah]

Question: Is it a bug or intentional that tanks/machine gun bunkers disappear out of my army after a battle? If it is intentional, is there any way to disable this feature? Thanks

It's unintentional and will be addressed in the next update.

Trust me, it's worth the wait.

Hi

I installed version 5.2.0 using the installer as per instructions. It appears to work. I then tried out one of the battles - Western Front, playing Britain against the German Empire, and after a minute or so into the game it froze and CTD'd. Tried it a second time with the same result. Here's some info from my system:

As a reminder, I'm not an admin, mod, or even contributor of the mod. However, I suggest you autoresolve and hope for the best.

when I'm playing the great war it happens that the game suddenly freezes and no longer reacts. ultimately fall the game out and have i an crash file. How can I fix this I have tried all kinds of things?
sorry for bad english :/

[Lord Shadowscar]

My friend and I are trying to play multiplayer. We both got the multiplayer campaign from the 5.1.4 patch after downloading the game regularly. After installing the multiplayer, we still cannot play on account of "Incompatible versions".

Is there any fix to this? Or has 5.2.0 Beta gotten rid of mp for the time being?

[OurFreedom]

Sometimes, i go into the campaign choose a faction,about to click Play campaign it crashes, and when i'm in a decent battle,it crashes in the middle of it.

Hello enjoy great war mod, i got 5.2 work well except no possibility recruitment artillery to all factions(icone field artillery locked, doctrine trench warfare unlocked) and building national military headquarters have none recruitment possibilities

I am looking for CTD help too. Running 5.2(?) get crashes during battles. Other N:TW mods seem to work ok..
I REALLY LOVE this and am sad i can finish one battle..

Creates a MDMP file every time, but I don't know what it means.

I have a decent machine (Win7*64 on Mac 8core i7, 12 GBram/Radion 5890) so not sure why memory would be an issue.

The same happens to me...

Hello. I just noticed that Germany's name in the game is Prussia. Plus, there is no unit info or unit names for the units in TGW same aswell for the techs. I want to know how to fix this. THanks.

Hi, I'm having an issue on the campaign side of the mod. I'm playing as Italy, and whenever I end turn 49, it crashes my game to desktop. I'm updated to the most recent patch, and I don't wanna abandon this campaign. A similar issue occurred when I was playing as Sweden.

[Ethereal Lancer 916]

Running with 5.1.4 for the first time in about a year, and it no longer works for me. All of the units have only officers, national flags are mostly missing, unit models and cards still use default NTW resources (if anything at all!) except for the Americans who appear in their ETW uniforms, on top of that the game took ten minutes to start up and did not have the "The Great War" main menu screen anymore (again, it had the default one instead).

I tried running a fresh install, and all that accomplished was getting the Americans to stop speaking Dutch. So... what now?

EDIT: Tried it again this morning, now it uses all of the Great War assets like it should, but the units still only have their one officer and no-one else. This is with another fresh install. Is 5.1.4 just totally broken now or something?

[Buzog]

Alright, chrash issues here, too.
Late february 1916, always during Russia's turn...not sure if something should trigger there or something, since it's always the same time.

[Buzog]

Hmh...started a new game, got a few turns farther. This time it crashes every time when Germany's turn is about to begin.

[dogface81]

Running 5.2 and the game crashes at the loading screen when I continue my campaign. Running windows 10. Please help, I'm really enjoying the game. Thank you!

[MiasmicMoose]

I manually installed everything it but CTDs whenever I try to start a campaign. In the custom battles it shows some special descriptions of the units but everything else is vanilla NTW assets. Is it just a Mac issue or are other people having it?

[Holy Roman Emperor Francis II]

for some reason I can't ever get to the official "The Great War" start page, it pulls up as regular Napoleon but with WWI features and options. What am I doing wrong, I think it's how I've transported the files and the directions to "overwrite" the vanilla data folder, it's seems to confuse me in ways.

[eluzian]

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work on this mod. I played this mod a long time ago and had a blast so when I recently started watching The Great War on Youtube, I had this growing urge to reinstall it. I just tried but I'm getting a message saying "Error: No packs in mod folder!" when using the launcher. I think I followed the instructions correctly by unzipping and copying over the "data" folder, overwriting any duplicate files so I'm not sure what's the problem. I attached the error log if that helps.

Thanks!

[eluzian]

Never mind, I think it's because I didn't read carefully and install 5.1 before 5.1.4... Doh!

[eluzian]

Okay, I downloaded and installed 5.1 then 5.1.4 and the launcher automatically updated to 5.2 but I'm getting the same error saying:
The mod could not launch successfully!
Error: No packs in mod folder! (The launcher could not find the files it needs to install and launch the mod)

I tried reinstalling a clean install and applying TGW 5.1 and 5.1.4 but I am getting the same message. Any ideas?
