TECHNICAL HELP & REPORTS THREAD [Bug Reports, Installation Problems, CTDs, etc...]

[PikeStance]

Hello, I find a bug that Austro-Hungarian Infantry's tricorn hat look like wrong texture (I have used the brand new version of IS which was downloaded on MODDB).

What do you mean,"Austro- Hungarian Infantry?"
All version of IS are the same regardless of location (mega uploads or ModDB). We have two mods; 2.2.1b (Start 1700) and Rise of the Republic Beta (Start 1783)
There isn't a "recent" mod. Rise of the Republic was published two years ago.

Hungarian Infantries fight for Austrian Empire, because I don't remember to type their name in German, sorry. Don't angry, man. Your mod is awesome. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1Q...pGZDM2V1NDX2pn

First time installing this mod:

When I click the shortcut created on my desktop. When I click start I recieve the following error:

Application load error 5:0000065434

I have ensured my user.empire_script file looks like it should.
The user scrips location is:
stuffandthings\Empire Total War\data\IS

If I load up ETW via steam it runs the vanilla game.

[PikeStance]

You need to also install the patch 1.0
It is also recommended to install patch 2.0

[Alkarin]

I had already installed those aswell

[PikeStance]

Delete the launcher that was created on your desktop.
Go to the IS folder. Locate the fire. ISLauncher.exe
A menu should pop up with an option to "Start" Click The game should load.
If it does, create a shortcut for your desktop.

[Alkarin]

When I click start I recieve the 5:0000065434 error again

[PikeStance]

Apparently, the solution to start the vanilla game via steam. Run the game, then try using I.S.

hey game runs great except for when i build the cannon foundry the artillery pieces have no names and it makes 5-7 copies of them in the recruitment bar, this makes it impossible to recruit infantry or Calvary as they all get pushed of the recruitment bar any ideas/fixes its still playable but really annoying

I am having the same issue as this, as both Poland-Lithuania and Austria, running the 2.2.1b download off ModDB.

[PikeStance]

Which faction?
Which version? (2.2.1b or Rise of the Republic)

Hi, PikeStance,

I'm new to the forum. I am playing Imperial Splendour 2.2.1b (2 patches installed) with Tactical Commander submod. (I also have made the preference file settings you suggested to increase realism). I started a new campaign as Bavaria last night. When I sent my gentleman researcher to steal technology from Austria, all of the technologies were grayed-out. I wasn't able to select any research to steal.

Is this a known issue or is there some other explanation?

Also, Are there other sub mods or settings you recommend for IS 2.21b - Tactical Commander? I noticed an older thread suggesting to increase the unit stack sizes to 40 for example...

Thank you so much! I am very impressed so far with IS and Tactical Commander!

[PikeStance]

I do not actually steal technology myself (preferring to increase my own speed). This being said, IS v3 you will not be able to steal technology since technology is different. I am not sure if this feature as already been turned off in anticipation to that point. French and British technology is already unique and I would be surprise if you could steal. Again, I am not sure since I joined after 2.2.1b was released.

When I release the public beta of my campaign/ economic overhaul, then 40 units would be recommended since you would be able to recruit faster so that you are not force to fight small skirmishes in the early game. For now, it is personal choice.

Ok great. Thanks for the answer! Two more things:


1. ui_radar_mode 2; # ui_radar_mode <0|1|2>, Only applicable with minimised ui. 0 = always, 1 = slide on, 2 = never #
u

I made the above change in the preference script to stop seeing the enemy troops on radar. It didn't work. The colored dots still appeared for my troops and the enemy in Play Battle mode. Like normal... but if I clicked/doubleclicked on the enemy troops, the camera view went through the ground to the sea ( I have developer camera enabled ).

How can I stop the enemy troops from showing on the radar? I think it is better if they do not appear.


2. As for the increase to 40 unit stacks, should I follow the instructions in this thread? : 40 unit Armies[Essential Game Enhancement Suggestion]

[PikeStance]

This is my line

ui_radar_mode 1; # ui_radar_mode <0|1|2>, Only applicable with minimised ui. 0 = always, 1 = slide on, 2 = never #

However, I am pretty sure I turned off the radar in game.

The link to the 40 unit armies I wrote based on the original thread. It is what I do and it works. So, yes.

The deploymod.rar link is broken. anyway to access the file?

Im a little confused. I was thought Imperial splendour gave you the option to start a game in the "early" "mid" or "late" game. I was hoping to play as the United States but saw no option to change to the Late era game at the main menu. I installed Imperial Splendour with the "installer" and installed the patch. When at the main menu it says version 2.2. Please help any and all advice welcome, thanks in advance.

[PikeStance]

Yes, sorry, you are a little confused.
Imperial Splendour v3.0 will have all three eras. We are currently v2.2.1b. Therefore, we only have the early campaign. However, We release Rise of the Republic which does allow you to play the late era. The unites States is a playable faction.

[PikeStance]

This is on my list of things to do.

Can somebody please help? Either Im stupid or the installation instructions in the thread are very unclear.

So without really knowing what to do, apart from being told about the folders that IS creates, I installed IS into data, where the separate IS and campaigns folders are created. Ran the launcher and nothing apart from a "can't find empire.exe" message. Copied all the IS data files into vanilla data folder and launched the launcher, same error. Deleted those files from data, copied the .pack files from IS data and moved them to data, then copied the launcher and the .bat files to the Empire folder in steamapps, launched the launcher and nothing, same error.

I'm sure it's a very simple case of putting the right files in the right place. However, I'm struggling to find any indication as to what to do in the installation thread. So please help. I just bought this but there's not a chance in hell I'll play vanilla.
