Bug Reports (with known bugs list)

[King Kong]

Please post any bugs from Stainless Steel 5.0 here.
I'll update this post regularly with all known bugs, so they don't have to be posted twice.

Please post suggestions or ideas for changes in the suggestions thread.



Known Bugs

- Some translation errors
Already fixed by wonkuruben: (Thanks! )
Download this file here and etract it into your "...\Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel\data\text" folder.
- no short campaign playable (rebels win first)
- (wrong accents); I put this in brackets, since in some M2 versions there are not all faction accents available (i.e in the German version, the eastern, scotish and mongol accents are missing and have to be replaced by others)
The temporary fix for this problem is in the FAQ thread.
- Menu Bug
1. if you change the factions in the faction selection menu too often you may get a crash to desktop.
2. if you switch fro one single player menu option (i.e "Late Era Campaign" back to "custom battles") you will get a crash to desktop.
- byzantine intro movies for other factions
- ladders too long (doesn't affect gameplay)
- Sudanese tribesmen info pic is missing
- teutonic castles don't have the unique design on the battlemap
- Norwegian feudal knight shield (occasionally) is wrong


Crash to desktop


IF you have one, please:
look into your system.log file (In "Medieval II Total War/logs" folder) and paste the last 3 lines in the bug thread. This will help me to find the problem faster.

It would be even better if you would upload a save-game before this crash happened. This helps a lot to find the problem easier.
You could easily upload one at www.megaupload.com.
Just select your file, make any description, accept the "terms" and click on "send".
Thanks in advance!

I used Finney13s text fix for english. But my cutscenes are in German still (voice). Anyone have a fix to make those english also?

Great mod. Thanks!

[King Kong]

Hi G-Rider,

Which cut scenes do you mean exactly?

If you mean the "Jerusalem captured" videos, I must admit that they are in German, but the others should be in English...

[__PoweradePaladin__]

idk whats causing it.

Jerusalem being taken sounded like German. I just got a cut scene for a crusade and that was in English.

Hope that helps.

My game loads in English (all of my menu selections are written in English), but all of my in game menus (building, recruiting, save game, load game) are all in german. Any way to fix that?

Thanks to our friend wonkruben from holland, there already is a quick fix for that: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=126824

Thanks, that worked, but is there a voice fix for this version like there was for 4.1? Sounds as though all of my factions sound english again...

Not yet I suppose. I am waiting eagerly for something like this myself...

Where the hell is nezzaruzi (what is he called again?) when you need him ?

[ignasigh]

Nmmm I don't know if it's intended but the late campaign is counting in turns not in years...

You can see the year on the left hand side of the screen, just above the minimap.

[Osskssa]

No playable mongols in late era campaign? not in my version anyway.

Also my late era seems to begin in 1080 with no advanced cities/castles

Hmm seems late era is exact clone of early era, ill try reinstall see if it sorts it...

Sadly, this mod is unplayable for me since it crashes while loading battles in my campaign. i just dont understand how i could be the only one with this issue, as i have not seen anyone else with this problem. strange

Similar problem here. Assaulting Dublin I get a CTD during the loading screen. I've assaulted other cities and fought other battles without problem, but crash when attacking Dublin. Even did a reinstall, but no joy.

Very odd.

EDIT: Seems to be a problem specific to assaulting Dublin. Was able to assault Salamanca with the exact same army and the battle loaded without problems. Fought an open field battle with rebel forces and the battle loaded without problems. Tried to assault Dublin and got CTD during the loading screen. Finally had to auto resolve to get past it.

system log:

hey, atleast you can fight some battles. im using Norway, couldnt assault Inverness or Edinburgh. so i started a late-era campaign w/ Ireland and couldnt fight a field battle against England. this sucks man, this game would be so sweet if i could actually fight the battles out. damnit

Nope I am getting the same thing, a CTD in my first battle playing the French late era. I have checked that custom battles are working ok, must be a campaign bug.

BUG REPORT! - When a spy has opened the enemy gates, instead of the pitcure showing a little open gate in the siege menu, it shows the flag of Irland.
