N omatter what I turn off but CE makes the game crash at certain point. It's totally due to simply CE because sometimes it happens in the first stages of the battles, others happens when the battle is about to finish, or in the middle, no matter what. The engine is not prepared for high quality of things like shadows or arrows staying forever...it simply can not deal with them so the game will crash always.

Bro. With the lightweight version I'm using, I have zero crashes or graphical issues whatsoever. I have already advised you to use this instead of the full version.

He releases a new version btw, more polished, but listen I guess it's the overhand animation pack from DeI and not CE.

I'll check the new version during the weekend bro.

A bit of new stuff in the latest update:
1. When a new political party forms, a general from player's party will become its leader. I am not a big fan of this and decide to provide a tweak to avoid this.
2. In the bug fix of "firing range bonus with no actual effect", I made a mistake which will mess up the range in night battle. This is now corrected.
3. In the campaign of Empire divided, if you load a save file in which there are armies in the state of disbandment, it's tradition skills(if any) will vanish if you reinstate it.
The reason of this bug is that during the loading, the construction of skill tree of disbanded armies would acquire the faction name and faction subculture and compare with the skill node table data.
However, the acquisition would fail and thus the comparison, resulting an empty skill tree. My solution is to bypass the comparison.

Plus one of course.

My interest in Rome 2 is kind of run out, and therefore I won't be updating this anytime soon, or ever. Thanks for all the positive comments and farewell.

That's too bad, as it's probably the last big patch for Rome 2. Do you think your previous update will work without issues ? Haven't tried it yet.

That's a real shame, but understandable. Thank you for your efforts. Maybe we'll see you around for Thrones of Britannia or Three Kingdoms

I can sadly confirm that it does not work with the latest patch.

[Slashas]

That's to bad, thank you for your hard work ysl!

[♔Greek Strategos♔]

Then I'm just sτaying with Patch 18 and that's sad, cause we really like using Cheat engine in DEI team.
Maybe we could persuade you for just a compatibility update at some point @ysl ? we'll really appreciate it.

PS
If it's impossible, could you tell us how to update it at least ?

Cheers.

CE gives lot of ctds. Basically the system/engine is not able to handle such improvements and collapses eventually.

You're right about the engine. But that's because you're using the full package bro. My custom stripped down version never gave me a CTD and I literally mean not even once.

I mosly use the unlimited projectiles and fadeing fixes. They're amazing!
