Stainless Steel 6.4 citadel siege bug

**Demetrius Bekius** · November 19, 2018, 05:29 PM

Every time some enemy faction besieges one of my citadels, the game crashes (Crash To Dekstop - CTD). I don't have this problem whenever they are attacking my cities or castles & fortresses. So, what should I do?

Note that I have already installed the bug fix from http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...Y-BUGS-IN-HERE but it doesn't do anything. Also I needed to install the mod outside of program files and program files (x86) in order to play the game (in C/Intel). I also installed the bug fix there, but the game still crashes.

Turn on trace for logs in your config file in ss6.3 folder. (the directions if you don't know how to do that is in a sticky on this forum iirc). But delete the * in front of *log=trace in the ss config file. Then re-run the crash and post the log here in a zipped format via the upload option.

Are you by chance running any mods that adjust the battlemaps for settlements?. i.e. custom cities/castles, g5's better settlement defending whatever, etc?

Can you siege an enemy citadels okay? Or this crashes too?

Did you run the installs and ss_setup (after the installs) with 'run as administrator'? If not do this first as then my guess is your missing certain files thanks to virtual store/uac. So do this first then.

That's the only thing I can find in the system.log document (in C/Intel/SS6.3) if that's what you mean.
I haven't besieged an enemy myself in the campaign, but I tested a siege in a custom battle and it works fine.
I don't remember what I did when I succesfully installed the game.
Tell me if that is adwquate information.
