Empire Bug Report Thread

[Erik3E]

Nothin wrong with the gameplay(exept that the camera in the campaign map is lagging but works fine in battle :/).

Whell now to the real issue the game keeps crashing at random times, this has hapened 2 times and the screen always turn completly white(this only has hapened in the campaign) so I press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and turn the game of and it works fine when I start the game again...

My computer specs is:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
3.01 GHz, 2,00 GB RAM
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285

I am experiencing a white screen CTD when pressing Grand Campaign button. I have a saved and ongoing spanish campaign which I can play and RTI but a new grand campaign is not in the cards for me at the moment. Is this the CTD bug caused by having a saved campaign and starting a new one or is that not really happening to anyone?

[Modestus]

This may have been posted as a bug already but has anyone found themselves besieging a Town the defenders sally out and when you go to the tactical battle you are the one defending the town.

I get this general feeling that when I am having a battle its not where it should be, in fact I am getting this overall feeling that things are not working as designed in a lot of the game. My whole trade from America gets blockaded I presume by pirates (because I am not at war) and for the life of me I cant find out where this is happening.

[dieterweber35]

LOL, ya. I got that bug when i first started the RTI mode.

[Jurang]

Whenever I get attacked by a naval force on the campaign map, I get a blue screen of death and the system restarts.

I keep CTD when i try to select one of my fleets near the coast of Florida. A few other fleets lag for around 5-10 seconds after selecting them but the game does not crash.

[greengriffon]

Forgot a big one.

Military Access - When you have an agreement for mutual military access, there seems to be a bug that prevents you from revoking it.

I've had this happen 3 times where I either had an alliance or just a military access agreement with a nation. Later as they became more unfriendly due to my expansion, they started encroaching on my cities with large armies. I wanted their armies off my land, so I canceled my alliance or access agreement.

In the diplomacy screen it said that we still had a military access agreement even after it was canceled.

A few times now when I'm defending in a siege the camera gets stuck when i try to turn and stays there jerking making it unplayable. i have to alt+f4

[Nordfeldt]

there is a serious bug with reserch. If you research something like square formation on the second tieryou can never reserch plug bayonet or carbine. This has also happened for arguculture. It says 0 turns to research and then never finshes. I had to get the french to give it to me for 3500! This is a serious bug that can permantly screw up campagins.

Probably not a bug... try to see if your school/college/uni haven't been occupied or raided.

[ROFL Copter]

This really is hopeless, isnt it?

[Yojimbo]

Probably not a bug... try to see if your school/college/uni haven't been occupied or raided.

yes realzied it needed repairs soon after i posted this its not a bug

[OneManShow]

CTD in 1721, i click end of turn, and once all factions have played i got a CTD..... already boring with this game....

[pansarskott]

Cavalry dying when jumping over fences sometimes... Anyone else got this?

[Matte979]

Some additonal I have found.

Grass Hedges in winter has wrong sprite when further away (Black fence or something)

If you end up at the edge with a fleet in the sail to other zone box and then get attacked the game crashes.

If you change shadows in option during battle it screws up the textures, generally changing AA or Shadows cause havoc. This might be an ATI issue as there is other issues with ATI with AA.


--Btw, I read on the total war forum that registering Empire in Alchemy for X-Fi can help with sound issues. Havent tested it yet, but the sound is messed up right now.

Hi,

besides random CTD i want to put your interest in one very anoying thing.

Im not sure if it is a bug, but when you play siegebattles your Framerate will suffer even on low settings.

I get reasonable framerates in towns with big armies so...

System:
Vista 32
GTX8800 EVGA (newest drivers)
Quad 6600 at 3,0 Ghz
4 Gigs of Ram

[Bwaho]

Most noticeable bug for me is the flickering sound. Really really annoying... they better fix it soon.

Nothin wrong with the gameplay(exept that the camera in the campaign map is lagging but works fine in battle :/).

yeah I have the same problem. I play with ultra settings in battles and it's no problems, but the campaign map is a stuttering son of a

While playing the American storyline, sieging the first town I noticed a major problem. If you do not assault the town and instead try to starve them out until they attack you to repel the siege your roles become switched.

When the battle map loads I am the one possitioned inside the town and they are attacking me even though I was sieging them.

I dont know if anyone has noticed this considering the town has no walls or general shape but you are always possitioned with your back to the town no matter if you are attacking or defending it.
