Patch 4.001 Causing Floating Settlement bug

**Macrath** · December 20, 2013, 12:43 PM

A problem i have noticed with the latest patch (4.001c) is that it makes some settlements bug out and unplayable in siege battle. As the Gaelic Nation you start with two settlements, a castle and a Large town, the first town to the north has the floating settlement bug, just in case you want to see if it effects your game as well. If i run V4 this bug is not there, but after installing 4.001 the bug occurs every time.

According to CrayonVonCaesar you can simply Take the settlement folder from the older (working) version of Thera 3.0 or V4(i used V4 but either will work) and paste them into your patched 4.001 Thera folder default location C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\theraV4\data. It'll fix the settlements.

I just tried this suggested fix and it seems to have worked, no more floating settlements during sieges. Thank you CrayonVonCaesar

Also just an FYI in case you didn't know, dog units seem to cause a CTD if you use them in Siege battles, it's okay to use them in the battle just don't send them inside the city. I have reproduced this CTD many many times to make sure it was the dog units, they will enter the city fine but the CTD will occur shortly after. This is a problem with the dog units and TFON simply suggests not using them in sieges as this problem has not been able to be fixed as of yet.

Long live Thera!

So does the patch 4.001c cause the problem? or Fix it? Cause I downloaded the 4.001c complete mod (still requires patch 4.001c). Then, I downloaded the patch and installed the full-mod then extracted the patch over it, And I'm still getting floating settlements.

I love this mod, I played v3 a lot, (long live Mojag the Sycorax!!!) but this version 4 install has just been a big headache

Edit: the download details section doesn't really illustrate on the issue of the patch which does what, and what fixes or breaks what.

As far I know version C does fix it

I have been playing THERA for a while now, I try to take the last Lao Chi settlement which is a castle/fortress as Romuli and it freezes after I sack it. So I have to download the older version of THERA to fix this?

That sounds like a different bug that occurs when that faction dies.

According to CrayonVonCaesar you can simply Take the settlement files from the older (working) version of Thera 3.0 or V4(i used V4 but either will work) and paste them into your patched 4.001 Thera folder default location C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\theraV4\data. It'll fix the settlements.

Settlement files mean "settlements" folder or what? So I install it like this: Thera 4.0, I copy settlements folder someplace, then patch 4.001c then paste over it the settlements folder? Did you have problems with data validation in the Thera hotseats or you didn't use those settings?
