Can't start a Late Era campaign

[Vinraith]

Apologies if this is a known issue, I couldn't find it in the FAQ and a search didn't turn up anything useful. I just downloaded this excellent looking mod. I've installed M2:TW and Kingdoms, patched them, then installed Chivalry 2 and patched it to 3.1. Then I start the game, select L for the late era campaign, select grand campaign on the menu, select a nation (doesn't seem to matter which), and it sits and chugs for awhile on the campaign select screen. After a few minutes, it kicks me back to the game menu. For awhile it's unresponsive, and then it'll let me choose Grand Campaign once again, but selecting a nation and trying to proceed always just kicks me back to the main menu. Anyone know what's going on here?

Edit: It's probably worth noting that the other campaigns work fine, the problem is exclusive to the Late Era campaign.

Do other users have the same issue? Anybody ...?

Yes. I'm having exactly the same problem. Also, doesn't matter which campaign. 3.0 was working fine for me.

Interesting. If I hit "e" on the launcher and then go single player -> custom campaign -> early campaign -> select country and hit start it sits and chugs for a few minutes (just like with the late campaign) but it does eventually load the campaign map and function normally.

But you guys considered the exe-"virus" issue, right?
If not try the fix (sticked thread). Perhaps your AV program applies itself first if you run the exe without to remove the exe, ... hmm, don't if this can be the culprit.
... or the Vista issue?

I'm running XP SP2, and I haven't gotten any virus alerts. I'll try the fix anyway, though.

Edit: Nope, no change in behavior with the AV starter.

I have exactly the same problem, but only with the Late Era Campaign. Been playing the Early Era Campaign all evening and it is very good.

The very first time you start each campaign it will take a few minutes to build the map.rwm.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem than the others : I can't start the Late Era Campaign : back to the screen menu after several minutes (for the first time) and directly return to the screen menu after the first try.

All custom campaign works fine.

This problem is only for the 3.1 version (fresh installation)

My OS is vista 32 and I've seen that the rwm map of the grand campaign (LE) has a size = 0 octet, even I deleted It and try another to launch Late Era with "L".

I think the program can not create the map for some reason : very strange.

My AV is norton 360 2.5 : no virus, no spyware, no malware detected.

I may have missed a file, what does it say in the log?

Gotcha. Subsequent testing has illustrated that, like loet, trying to start a Late Era campaign repeatedly removes the delay in being dumped back to the main menu. In fact, his symptoms exactly match mine, which would seem to imply that OS and AV have nothing to do with it.

Unzip the attach into your \mods\SicilianVespers\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder, and let me know if this fixes it.

That fixed it for me. Thanks!

I guess SV 3.2 is on the way...


And thanks for the help Vinraith
