RTRVII: Fate of Empires - Bugs and Issues

[Tony83]

Please report any bugs or issues here.

When submitting a report, please provide as much information surrounding the issue as possible, including screen shots and save games, especially in the case of CTD's.

Maybe this is supposed to happen, but when I load up a campaign I can see the whole map. I can see where armies are and settlements. Nothing is hidden other than exact buildings and units. Is this intentional?

[Finn]

Yes at game start the fog of war is disabled so the opening scripted battles can be viewed. After the battles are fought the fog of war is re-enabled like it would be for any mod at the start of a campaign.

BTW welcome to the forums and I hope you enjoy Fate of Empires!

[usmell]

Oh, okay. Yeah, I was wondering what was up with the king of Epeiros (I really can't ever spell his name right. Pyrhuss? Pyruss? Pyhrus?) running around beating the Romans.

Thanks! And I assure you, I WILL enjoy it. You needn't worry about that!

[Tony83]

His name has been spelt a number of ways, and we choose to use Pyrrhos.

[Ballacraine]

OK..I just started a campaign as Rome.

Gotta say it looks great!

Opening video is impressive.

Unfortunately I got a CTD at the end of the opening battle.
I withdrew my last battered Hastati unit & clicked exit battle.

CTD.

[Radiso-FIN]

I got CTD too after I had finally won the first battle of the Epirus campaign

Otherwise this mod looks excellent and the opening video of the Epirus was awesome

[mochi]

Also I got a CTDs at the end of the opening battles as both Rome and Epirus.
I can play after the opening battle as Carthage, but got a CTD at the end of the secound battle.

[banhtalon]

yeah, i also got the CDT at the end of the opening battles as Rome.

[Brusilov]

Can you confirm that it's an 'errorless CTD'? Can you confirm that the -show_err switch is on the shortcut target?

Are you able to play a custom battle without a CTD?

[Athenogoras]

[inquisitor]

When i klick the FOE shortcut,the mod starts but then i get a protection error message...??
The same when i start with the launcher

[Tony83]

All these CTD's are certainly atypical and we need to track these down!

• Are the CTD's repeatable
• Any error messages?
• Do you have any savegames we can test, if not start saving before every battle?
• Are you using the Launcher or the Desktop icon to start your battle?
• Have you switched the Advisor off?
• Have you switched UAC off (Vista and Windows 7 users)?
• Have you got "Unit Shaders" switched on in Video Settings?

The quickest way to establish whether the issues are game or installation related is if you can provide us with a savegame to check. Please provide them with a clear description of the events and circumstances leading up to the CTD.

I'm getting the CTD's as well. Usually around battles. Before you enter a battle screen(with Brutus, hilarious ), then durin battles and at the end of battles. No message, just crashes to desktop. Also, what is UAC for Vista Users? I have a save game that repeats this error if you want it. Please instruct me as to what to do.

Hope this helps.

[Brusilov]

Brus, what installer did you use? (which host/torrent?)

I got the download through DepositFiles.

I can fight the first battle as Rome and Carthage but the Epirot one does an errorless CTD in the 'zoom in' to campaign screen - it does not even get to the load screen. It's a repeatable errrorless CTD as well.

Each time the game is started through the launcher.

I've been having a PM discussion with Tony83 about it. I've checked the three scripts between the SVN version and the downloaded version of FoE and they are identical (I have a file comparison utility).

I've managed to launch the SVN version and have been able to load up the first battle OK.

All on the same PC and same graphic settings - Windows XP with a 9800GX2.

You can convert it to a zip or rar file and upload it as an attachment.
