Please let's channel the bugs
since this patch in one separate thread. And
no workarounds or fix-suggestions here etc..
Perhaps chances are there that CA will read this in fact if this thread isn't fuzzed like the other sticky one, or just the endless single threads
(if i would be CA i wouldn't ever read those, maybe randomly, with luck) ... so here we go: Needed infos
1. Game mode (Custom battle, Grand Camp, etc.)
2. Faction
3. Year or turn
4. Give a quite accurate description of the bug you encountered
5. Played Steam off- or online
6. Custom files installed/changed (mods or whatever changes)
7. Prior to this patch the same bug or no
8. Sys specs (in short)
I start with my
bugreport:
--------------------------------------
1. Grand Campaign battle mode (custom battle plays fine)
2. England (surely with every faction)
3. 1st or 2nd, equal which turn
4. Ctd with the usual Empire error message after every battle as soon as the battle has ended and the battle-result table occurs in the camp mode.
5. Both tested, same result with Steam off or online
6. Both tested, same result with or without custom files
7. No, game played fine before this patch version, hadn't any reason to complain prior to this patch
8. Intel E8500 @ 3,16 GHz / 1333 MHz (FSB), EVGA Nvidia 9800gtx+ on driver 182.06, Mobo Asus P5B (updated), LG 22" 1680x1050 (widescreen), Corsair DDR2 800 RAM PC2-6400/CM2X1024-6400 actively using 3 (of 4) GB @ 667 MHz (FSB), no overclocking at all, XP 32bit SP3 / dx9, all bios and drivers are updated.
Well, the game is now unplayable for me, unless i put back the saved patch.pack files from the former version, but this can't be the goal.
Oh, and don't tell me do this and that, i tried everything!
Edit:
I even suggest ( moderator? ), that the current active sticky bug report thread gets unsticked and replace it with this one here - reasons are obvious, no? It's outdated, it's much too much confusion in this thread, it's not at all structured, etc.
Use this option or not, i'll anyway make a break on ETW until it is officially declared bugfree, or at least free of critical ctd's.
Edit2: As for the dxdiag, well surely a good addition ( but not everybody will put that into a spoiler etc., perhaps too much fuzz for the average player
), so not a must i would say - but people could add their OS/directx-version (dx) to get a picture, would be helpful.
Edit3 (hint in post # 4 here): For the ones having an account at the TW site, use also or only this thread:
http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic...h-support.html - while you must be able to deliver the dxdiag info in spoilers.
