    Default disappearing general?

    Ive allready reported this to the team in errors for 1.05 but I was wondering if anyone has a quick fix for this. My general (georgia) disappears in combat and is visible only as a shield and horse. Is this something that I can fix?

    AWSOME mod though guys!

    Its a very odd thing.. It doesn't seem to happen to everyone. For example I've never actually seen this happen during my Georgian campaign battles. But I recall AlphaDelta telling me about seeing this back before release.

    This is during campaigns right?

    yep during campaigns. it doesnt happen unless the general engages in combat i think. It seems to happen more often in siege battles. There are pics in the 1.0 error reports. someone else had the same problem for khwerzem captain.

    Yeah, I have not been able to reproduce it either. If anyone experiences this, please answer the following questions:

    0. what is your faction?
    1. Did battle load with general correctly?
    2. Who is you opponent (faction)
    3. Does you opponent have general, or captain?
    4. Is it a siege battle, or field battle?
    5. apx, after how longs does the general disappears?
    6. Does it appear back in the same battle?
    7. can you include the saved file before battle?
    8. is it a campaign battle or custom battle?

    Yea, same here. During battles in the campaign, as the battle progresses, the general will turn invisible.

    for strelac:
    1. Yes battle loaded correctly
    2. as of yet the rebels and it may have happened with abbasids too.
    3. does not matter either general or captain
    4. either one.
    5. It varies. sometimes more time sometimes less. Usually disappears as his bodyguard engages in combat, although ive had him combat for a while and then disappear. (hes fine if he just fires arrows).
    6. general never reappears after he disappears.
    7. if someone would tell me how to i would do so gladly.
    8. this only happens with actual generals and not with captains so only in campaign.

    -edit- could this possibly have something to do with the vnvs.txt.strings? I could not delete that file for the life of me.

    sorry to double post but would it be possible for someone to send me the files on the georgian general so that i could find out whats going on and then report back to you guys? nothing is working that ive tried so far, and that vnvs.tex.string is still there so maybe thats why. i just cant seem to get rid of it.

    I don't like to make new topics so I will post here.

    Makurian general in custom battles, when bound to non-cavalry unit is fine as long as he don't fight. When I order him to fight, after some time his sword magically disappeares.

    Got this problem too for georgian general. I suppose it could be related to blood. Why would he and his textures disappear otherwise ?

    0. The Abbasid Caliphate
    1. Yes both generals were fine at the start
    2. Kingdom of Georgia
    3. Two generals
    4. Field battle
    5. Few moments after the melee engages. I suspect he disappeared when he got shot by my archers
    6. No he stayed invisible till his death
    7. No save, sorry
    8. Campaign battle

    Heres a pic of the invisible man

    I bet someone said that BC uses it's own blood textures. I hope this problem will be addressed.
