A Proper Empire: Terra Incognita v1.1.0 - FAQ, Troubleshooting, and Bug Reports

[l33tl4m3r]

Is it save-game comptaible with older versions?

Mostly.

I just got finished my Austria 1739 winter turn and my game crashed tried it again and it still crashed. Can anything be done about this?

No.

Unless the crash is repeatable due to a battle or something -- it is most likely a product of poor pathfinding or some other campaign map bug.

Hello

How can I make this mod run with the Steam version of Empire ? Do I need to change its launch properties or something ?

Also, is it supposed to make a seperate folder for itself ?

Thanks ; )

Ok, I got some serious problems with this 0.9. My cannons are shooting some kind of epic cannon balls, but it makes my computer lag like there was no tomorrow!

Yes, this installer does what it needs to do to make a properly modfoldered (as far as ETW can) for the mod.

Screenshot it -- APE: TI v1.0.9 made no changes to the projectiles for cannons.

I made it all the way to 1774 with Prussia and its one of the best campaigns I have ever played, however during Spain's turn the computer gets stuck. I can still hear music and sound effects though. I have waited over an hour just to see if it was moving really slow and end up having to turn the machine off. I tried loading a previous save but no luck. Is there anything I can try to get past this as really don't want to lose this campaign.

[helmersen]

No, it's not the projectiles that are changing, but merely the amount of smoke and the lasting perioud of it

That's always rough -- the only real way to get around campaign crashes like this would be to load and earlier save and try to force either different diplomatic situation or campaign map army setup with the faction it crashes on.

We didn't make any changes to the smoke in this version, nor have we ever since smoke lite was put in, so we'd definately need to see some kind of visual information. I've never seen what you are talking about.

[helmersen]

Fail... Ok, I'll check what all this about

Do you use AUM or another mod that adds new artillery units?

*looks back at the files* No... I didn't include my explosive rocket/shrapnel/organ gun...

Let us know if you get a screenshot or video of it so we can see exactly what you mean!

[helmersen]

Hehe. I un-installed, and I will re-install. Will see if that helps

[l33tl4m3r]

Not to derail too much... but I really meant it about the explosive rocket/shrapnel/organ gun...

I should make a video.

Let me know your results after a reinstall!

[helmersen]

Serously!? A... !? Holy...

Hi, I dont know if it's a stupid question, but how do I change the skins/textures in game? I would like the British line to wear red, instead of white, anyway I can implement the skins from this site to the game?

Try the install instructions in the skin mod you want to try -- when adding mod to the user script simply add them to the start_apeti.bat -- let us know your results!

You can also add or remove skin directly into the skins pack if you want!

Thanx for the heads up, I tried to follow that link's instruction, which is just drop the file, and add it to start_apeti.bat, but to no sucess, possible provide me with a helpful link? And by the way, will the British line ever change to RED?? (No Biggies, just Wondering...)

Is it much work to get this compatible with the new beta?

The MP BETA?

So long as both peple have the exact same mod setup it should work fine.

Let us know!

So i downloaded yesterday and just want to give all of you guys who worked on this MAJOR credit and props. I love all the new playable factions and new troops and AI is alot more interesting indeed. Your new load screens are something to look while i wait, love them. I love the manpower aspect and the region traits as it gives the game more life and as you said, "more choices". I agree with what you said in the manual about choices and i believe you guys have spiced up this game with a bunch of new and interesting 'choices'. So my thanks for making this wonderful piece of magic lol.

I did, however, run into a bug that surprisingly has gotten to more than a few of your other users. I get a frozen screen on the faction selection menu and on load of the game, my display driver would stop working and i would have to ctrl-alt-del. i finally just restarted my system (first time since install) and tried again. i got to the campaign map and it worked fine throughout my play time. i havent tried to start it up again since then but i have a feeling im good to go now.

thanks again!

Well its been acting up again. Im going to do a fresh install of both E:TW and APE:TI today and see if that works. Hopefully it does or I guess i cant use APE anymore Whenever I load up my game (or try to load) it just goes to the load screen, loads, then goes to a black screen, then back to the completed load screen and then back to black again and again. Im not sure what the deal is but hopefully you guys can grasp the problem and remove it... hopefully...

This isn't a problem anyone has reported at any time in the past.

Does it get into the actual game? You see the legal screen? Let us know!
