Bug Reports Thread

Before you report:

First check for a new version of ROP in this thread(link)
Then check the known bugs and issues thread(link)

If you already have the latest version installed, and your bug is not yet listed in the Known Bugs and Issues thread, you should report your bug, so we can fix it asap.

When you report:

For Campaign/Battle CTDs, please provide us with a savegame. That has proven to lead to the best results in bughunting and fixing.

For any other CTD, please tell us the circumstances of the CTD. When did it happen, what was the program (or you) doing, etc. This really helps.

For graphics issues, or texts, please provide us with a screenshot (www.imageshack.us can host it for you, if necessary).

If you get a -show_err report (happens sometimes when the application closes), please provide us with a screenshot of it.


That's all - hope it helps.
Thanks in advance for your input, we need it

I've discovered the problem. for some reason, when I tried to do Widescreen it was fine oh btw Nice mod I especially like Kyrene!

[pdaleboy16]

not sure if a bug but couldn't find a settlement in middle of arabia

[Nero666]

That's a feature. It's unconquerable land, just like northeast Asia, the Sahara, and Northwest Europe. Totally forgot to add it to the features list.

Hi,downloaded and installed.When I started the game the screen was terribly of centered.I started a campaign as the Persians. Made an army, and went to conquer Babylon.Babylon was a large city with no walls. I besieged it, and it said it had walls. Made siege towers and next turn assaulted. CTD when starting battle. Thanks.

I did, just to let everybody know, NO SWEAT! It is easy to fix. For example, if your screen is small and undersized at the top left corner of the screen, go to OPTIONS, change resolution at BOTH CAMPAIGN AND BATTLE MAP, until they fit your computer screen. Violà there you have it .

[thoscme]

thanks vikrant!
work's perfectly
kyrene must be one of the coolest factions available!!

[pdaleboy16]

Thanx, that confused me

[Nero666]

Could anyone with CTD issues send us a savegame, and anyone with graphics/text issues send us a screenshot? This will help us fixing (y)our problems alot.

[Soulghast]

Fixed my problem! Just had to set to widescreen. Guys, this mod is amazing! Great job ROP team!

[Agrippa Postumas]

Same here too...Everything seems fine in campaign mode and then CTDs when switching to battle mode. That includes custom battles also.

[vikrant]

can u be detailed about ctds
i mean faction,units
and did u used show_error command
it gives u error report after each ctd

[oudysseos]

Major CTD report. Have had a CTD when attempting to fight a battle with every faction, whether on the campaign or in a custom battle. I can auto-resolve in the campaign but that sucks. I have tried at least 20 different battles with 4 different factions in the campaign and every possible faction in the custom battles. Just can't fight battles, seems to be universal regardless of units, factions etc. Obviously will stop playing for the moment. Installed RoP on a clean new install of RTW patched to 1.5. Any thoughts?

[Nero666]

Exactly when does your ctd occur? About 50-75% of the battle loading bar?
Cuz I've confirmed this issue for Persia vs. Babylon today, and was informed that it was caused by the sprites.. Switching them off for Persia solved the ctd.

Custom battles didn't ctd for me though - not in any case. I will still investigate it, and maybe generate new sprites for all factions - seems like the best solution.

i always ctd every 2nd or 3rd battle as the persians after it loads the bar fully

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

-I have a reaccuring CTD, well kind of reaccuring. As the Persians, I am beseiging a rebel town, the time they can last runs out, and on the last turn they sally forth. When loading the battle, I get a CTD when it is near completely loaded/completely loaded. I then restarted RTW, loaded (from autosave) pushed end turn, they sally forth once more, but this time the battle loads. This seemed to be just a random thing, but every time a rebel town sallys forth, it crashes and I have to restart the game to try again for it not to crash. Very confusing indead...
EDIT: This seems to be just that ever second battle I fight crashes, the rebels sallying forth was just a coincidence.

-On a lesser note, why are the same persian units availible everywhere in Persia, but I can only recruit/retrain ones with color in my starting territory. (as persia)
EDIT: This is that the territory is aor_iranian, and the three starters are aor_persia, they are the same units (aor iranian X -and- rop parsa X) so I was confused. Seems persians should be able to recruit their own units in all of persia/iran to me though.

-Grain in Eygpt give insane growth bonus that can be annoying...

-As Eygpt, I fought Kyrene, they were way over powered and kicked my 'butt' every battle. Seems a bit unfair. (On a related and probably well know note, the Kyrene royal family are the Julii, and Bactria have the Brutii.)

-Babylon's unique walls don't appear on the strat map for me.
EDIT: Large cities lack the epic_stone_wall in 'descr_cultures', easy fix...

[Aetius]

Playing Persians with huge unit settings. I have an army with sparabara, takabara, archers, and cavalry. When I attack teh Medians it CTDS half way throught the loading bar.

A weird thing is when none of my units have the max amount of men (eg 162) the battles play fine.) Any ideas??

[Finn]

I am playing as persia, and I have experienced 2 ctd while besieging 2 rebel towns.The towns are harrozia and Susim the year in both cases is 556 BC.The crash occurs when the camera pans down to my troops before deployment.
