The Bug Reports Thread

[Soulghast]

Report all the bugs you find in Renaissance here.

i posted one below, before this thread was put into place. the title is 2.7 bug

[DrIstvaan]

OK, I see you've found it. I'll close the other one then.

[jw1089]

this was my response i was writing, then i discovered you closed the thread lol.

i was just thinking of your first option, ill just save take out my save files. actually, my french campaign was from 2.2, while the spain campaign was from 2.7. i really dont wanna lose them, i had been playing them for a while. is it safe for me to install any of the ai mods into the renaissance folder?

[DrIstvaan]

OK, didn't know you were typing. But it's good to have all bug-oriented discussion here.
Yes, you should take the saves to some safe place. The 2.7 saves will be definitely compatible with 2.75 (or at least I know it so), 2.2... I'm not sure. Make a backup anyway.
As for the AI, the mod uses DathMod's one.

hi again

i have made a clean install with english version, 1.1 eng patch for vanilla and 2.75 renaissance.

21:36:51.796 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

im playing turks. its 1531. at start of port turn. lisbon is target of a dschihad and fresh under siege. port moves out of town in defense. then ctd.

perhaps its my old problem. but not at rebel turn. i will start a new camp.

(im doomed that i cant seem to play this awesome mod)

[DrIstvaan]

Don't start a new camp yet, try loading from Autosave.

[Soulghast]

Hi, hoek! I have never made it that far into the campaign, so I don't know what to say. I'll inform the beta testers, though.

[DrIstvaan]

Eh, poor hoek. His post count keeps getting razed to 0, with all these thread and post deletings.
And poor hoek because he can't get rid of that CTD. But it isn't necessarily his or our mistake, M2TW itself is quite instable yet.

next campaign as french, 1525, this time at timurid turn

and that problem seems to corrupt the savegame i made before the ctd. it occurs always at the same time with that savegame (autosave and manually saved)

and yes i got 1 or 2 ctds with other mods, but nothing like this.

now i try teutonic knights, i came with em till 1575 in a older version of renaissance, as i surrendered to the mameluk flood.

[Serious Spamurai]

I started a new campaign as Portugal, used toggle FOW and set the game on auto run-through, got to 1520. I'll set it running again later to get into the 1530s+. If it CTDs then there's a chance it has something to do with historical events at that time, or there is a chance there is something wrong with Jihads in general, maybe a jihad unit causes a crash when it is recruited. I'll look into it some more and report my feedback.
Autosaves get corrupted often, even in vanilla, when the game crashes, It's very annoying.

[Serious Spamurai]

I've had no luck finding out anything about that ctd, I've ran it throught to 1550. The last 25 turns both ran through on autoplay and manually played by me. The CTD didn't occur in either of them. I'll keep looking though.

[sb2ean]

The CTD at the start of a siege with Lisbon which was mentioned
is most likely one of the rare random CTDs that happen with MTW2 in general , I have declared Jihad and attacked ( not in 1531 yet) but the CTD didnt occur

Many people have had random ctds , even with vanilla MTW2 especially if you have benn playing for a while.

[hoek]

now playing as timurids...its 1558. no ctd yet. perhaps i get a ctd only when playing "normal" empires? it doesnt seem to be dschihad related.

[jw1089]

got a real ctd this time. heres the log.

[justme]

excuse me, but what version are playing?

because I see errors that should not be there in the latest campaign beta (eg that warning at EDB line 1148 was one of the first ones I fixed)

[Icefrisco]

when i played as the turks it was 1530(i think) and then suddently the game crashed and i got a notice saying there was an unspecified error. i tried continue campaign but the same thing happened.

[sb2ean]

Can you not post up a link to your autosave , then it can be dloaded
my autosave is only 471kb when RAR'ed
Otherwise it will be hard to recreate the excact conditions

[hoek]

here are the savegames as france and turks prior to the ctd...

[Soulghast]

Thank you hoek, they will be checked.
