Your log is fine.
It would help if you describe the problem as detailed as possible.

I end the turn and I get unexpected error every time I load the save game (and end the turn). Nevermind I just loaded the save again, made another save, ended turn, crashed, loaded new save and it works... odd.

[Chim]

I am glad it works for you now.
If you were to use some sort of crack then it is wise to not use it as it creates errors with SS.

The game keeps crashing in the faction selection screen for both campaigns...
here is my log (also It seems it only crashes when selecting factions, and there is no message)

This is a very well known bug that has been reported about 20 times already. (doesn't anyone read the known bugs list before posting??? :hmmm There is nothing that can be done. It's a side effect of having custom campaigns. Just dont select so many factions before starting a game. And dont select one menu option and then a different one (i.e. dont go from custom battle to campaign) or you'll get the same crash.

[Ghost_loy]

Oh ok thanks, and sorry for not reading further into the reported bugs I was just really impatient...once again thanks or the quick response.

[luciferleigh]

probably not really a bug, but i can seem to block the dardanells straight (land bridges) with my ships

[strike84]

Some textures on the grand map campaing are missing. As follow:

-bridges
-Caravans
-merchant Ships

On the battelfield, some units have extrange lines and graphics error (like a huge line from the flag, and others)

Thx !!!

I'm playing as Venice and the game freezes every time I try and look at the family tree. As long as I don't click on it, the game works fine. The game doesn't crash, just freezes. Because it doesn't crash I don't know if the system log is going to help at all.

Have you installed both parts one and two in your main M2TW folder?

[gewehr36]

Lithuanian Archers have a messed up texture.

[Tate]

Lithuanian Archers have a messed up texture.

This must be something with your install because I played against a lot of them last night in my Teutonic campaign and they looked fine. Same for the Kazahks, they looked fine too.

I thought that too because Lithuanian Cavalry was also like also that but then they solved the problem by themselves somehow.

I'll reinstall and see if that helps.

Hi all,

Thanks for the reports.
As always, I'll try to upload a hotfix for the most important bugs soon...


Hi Chimaera,

Thanks for your help and fixes! And I'm glad to see you again.


Hi cherryfunk,

Why are there tobacco resources in the Middle East? Tobacco didn't exist in the Old World. Very strange! I think it needs to be removed or renamed to Opium or something.

hmm... if you're right, then I'm sorry. I was sure that tobacco was known in medieval times. I will exchange i with another ressource...


Hi Nexus,

While it is not a problem as such, I was wondering how I might change the Teutonic Order's music from the Brittania set to the Teutonic set? (as in Kingdoms). I think the music fits their characteristically martial zeal more adequately than the Scottish bagpipes

Unfortnutely this is not really possible since the music depends on the faction's culture. In SS 6.0 only east-european factions have the kingdoms teutonic music...
Catholic factions have britannia music.


@ALL with the German version:

If you get no sounds for some factions then you should:
- download this file
- put it into Stainless_Steel_6/data and overwrite the existing file.
- go into Stainless_Steel_6/data/sounds and delete the events.dat and event.idx files

after a restart of the game all sounds should actually work.

I'm playing as Genoa, and i noticed some things that might need improvement:
- When I order my genoese croswbowmilitia to fire on a unit behind a very low wooden wall of a settlement. They their arrows arrows almost straight up in the sky, like they need to fire over a skyscraper or something.
- The Genoese Princess has a green outfit
- I hired some macemen mercenaries, and they had an attack of only 2, which seems kinda low to me.

That's about it. I really enjoy your mod btw!
