[spunkee555]

hi @ all


i installed my first SS version 3.2 and tried a custom battle, it always crashes when i choose venetian inf and ven. inf with armor... can somebody help me?!? i reinstalled and patched to 1.2 version...!!! whats wrong with that?

grrrrrrr.....


many thx

did you have 1.1 patch in it as well, the official?? the two official patches are both supposed to be in. You only install the leaked one fresh on

Hi spunkee,

Ok, I know that the game will crash when you play SS 3.2 with patch 1.1, because CA has made some model changes of the Venetian Heavy Infantry.
Therefore I have especially tested the Venetian Heavy Infantry and I (and probably most others) don't have any problems with them...
So, I guess that something (probably the official 1.2 patch) is not correctly installed.

Make sure:
1. You have applied the official 1.2 patch over a fresh installation of M2.
2. That you install the 3.2 stand-alone version into the correct directory as described in the "SS FAQ, Problems & Solutions" thread.

I hope this will help you somehow...

[Mike13531]

hey, KK, just a quick question, i installed 1.1 official along with it, nothing happened to me, no bug no nothing.
in fact i just tested a moment ago, it worked fine, , so i don't think it's the fresh install part

Good question! But I think only CA can answer it, since many, but not all, people have those problems with the patch...

[spunkee555]

aha, ok... so i have to install both patches? 1.1 and 1.2 really? thougt that 1.2 includes 1.1 --> confusing

have no prob with it when starting vanilla version, but with SS 3.2 --> ctd

thats so frustrating! i´m playing this game for so long time with many different mods (only), so i´m sure it was anything right with installation...

could be my 1.2 official patch be corrupt or broken?

and btw: did you guys included CNP? is somewhere an instruction for installation of 1.5 UAI in 3.2 SS???


many thx!!!!

[Mike13531]

there is a cnp thread here , don't worry about it yet, just install SS 3.2, til its working properly. I know it's frustrating, the reinstallation will probably take half an hour, the 1.2 patch, it's dam big, but hey, just do it for now i guess

[spunkee555]

yeah i´m reinstalling now and i hope it helps... just want to play the mod

is it recommended to play with UAI 1.5??? its really a must have in every mod...

[King Kong]

Hi spunkee,

Well, I have just seen you have the VHI problem also in DLV, so you can be pretty sure that the 1.2 patch isn't correctly installed.
And no, I didn't say you need to install both patches.
You just need to install the 1.2 patch over a fresh M2 installation.
I think this will help...
And regarding the CNP mod, check the "SS FAQ" thread.
There I'll also add a guide for UAI tomorrow...

[Mike13531]

o.o, nah, oh well, just listen to KK, i'm sure he's right.. 1.1 is not for everyone i guess

[Mike13531]

have you played 1.2 official patch yet? if you did, you ll probably forget all about UAI, cause honestly, it already fixed the non-aggresiveness, and play vh/vh, TRUST ME, no cheats? you ll DIE , fast! unless of course, your good

Hi spunkee,

Sorry, but I think I can't help you with your problem, since I'm sure that your official 1.2 patch is not working properly, otherwise you wouldn't get this error message with mods.
My only advise is, that you should re-install the whole game and apply the 1.2 patch over a fresh vanilla installation...

Ich weiß das das ärgerlich ist, aber du scheinst das Problem ja auch mit anderen Mods zu haben, also ist das wahrscheinlich die einzige Möglichkeit...

Viel Glück!

[Mike13531]

spunkie, don't install DLV with it then, that's the problem for sure, just install stainless steel.

tenom, it already has byzantium armor progression, so there is really no need for adding ANOTHER one,

[Mike13531]

can you teach me some german? what does this mean?

it means: i know its annoying but it looks like you have the same problem with different mods, so this is the only way (to reinstall over fresh vanilla +1.2 patch)

good luck!


thanks to you all! i had some error with my downloaded (official) patch 1.2...

[Mike13531]

lol, what, got it mixed up with the leaked one?

[spunkee555]

no, i downloaded it from a official 1.2 mirror I never had the leaked one... strange! that´s why i was so confused...

[Kaldan]

Have the same problem. How did you solve it?

Thx
