Problem with the Elite Units of the East DLC

**Duke of Marlborough** · February 08, 2010, 03:19 PM

So I just bought this dlc and I found a problem with it.

The units show up and all that, but the problem is... NONE OF THE UNIT NAMES SHOW UP!!!! It's just heavy cavalry this, heavy cavalry that and dragoons.

I don't want the unit type--I want the names! Anybody who can help me?

What an informative topic.

I accidentally submitted before I was done--sorry, but I'm new here!

lol oh I was wondering. Did you verify your game cache by right clicking on etw>properties>local files>verify game cache

Yeah, I have a more interesting problem - I didn't buy the DLC, but it downloaded anyway and made gameplay with Darthmod UC impossible (unavoidable CTD on program launch).

Go CA! Go Steam! You so awesome!

Its because etw updates with the dlc regardless of whenever you bough it or not. its not steams fault ca/sega just inexplicably made it that way.

Nothing inexplicable about it. The local game files need to be the same so people can play multiplayer. If it didn't download every DLC, you wouldn't be able to play with other people who were using said DLC.

I have a question--don't think of me as a dunce, but I have no technical knowledge

--I got to properties and I can't seem to find the "local files".

The tab at the top of the properties window there a series of tabs and one says local files. Click that and then the verify button.

Okay, I did what you said, but the names still won't show up.

**zlamaj** · February 08, 2010, 07:04 PM

Make sure you delete all mods and mod files. I did a fresh Empire install and now the names and descriptions show up just fine.

**Ftmch** · February 08, 2010, 07:45 PM

This happens when you have mods that adds new units (with unit-names etc.), since these new unit-names aren't in the localization file from those mods.

**Duke of Marlborough** · February 08, 2010, 08:19 PM

Oh, I get it. But I think I'd rather have these units without names than all of my units from mods being nameless. Perhaps Swiss Halberdier and Applelover will fix this problem for UCP 5.5. They have unit descriptions for the other DLC, so they'll probably do this for this one too.
