Napoleon Bug Report Thread

[Dogmeat]

more a question than a bug,

When playing the French in the Euro Campaign do you notice that units morale is 2-3 points higher at start?

It is for me playing modded or vanillia , strange, so i thought it might be some global morale trait Nappy has or maybe an empire bonus they receive

just thought id ask here as pple seem knowledgeable on things...

Still problems with "clustering" and "leap frogging"

Does anyone else experience this in large battles? I still get what I consider an unacceptable amount of AI line units clustering into each other and then trying to untangle themselves. This results in excessive maneuvering and "leap frogging" until the AI units just walk into my line. It isn't as bad as ETW 1.5 patch was but its still annoying.

CA, can you please code the BAI so AI units make the best attempt to avoid each other in the first place? A zone of exclusion built into the code would be a good start. Something that keeps them from overlapping. The problem isn't as bad in smaller battles. Its just when there are a lot of enemy AI line units. They all seem to go for the same target and in doing so, end up walking around trying to get free of each other and getting shot to pieces in the process.

Whatever was implemented in the ETW patch 1.6 seemed to really help this problem for ETW. Can we also do this in NTW?

Just had the naval battle freeze. Played a perfect naval game and captured 3 merchantmen and 2 Indiamen with 2 frigates. On pulling up to board the last fleeing ship, all units on the game screen freeze in place. The escape key, the function keys, etc. do not work. The camera still works, so I can move around the map with the arrow keys and the mouse, but all game controls do not respond (including the action bar to switch shot type, etc.). The background music still plays just fine. No way to quit the battle without Alt-F4'ing out or task manager.

This doesn't happen every battle, but maybe 2 out of 10, and almost always when 1) I try to capture a ship by boarding, or 2) when a ship surrenders. Because of the apparent trigger of this bug, it tends to happen when you've won and are focused on capturing ships, which adds to the frustration, as I like to blitz and capture rather than build my own navy.

There was another thread here about the freeze, and the symptoms are exactly the same.

It's Napoleons moral bonus. Because he is Emperor his bonus works factionwide. Not a good idea in my opinion.

i also gut uniform color bug... and i also can't use any retexture mod.. it always cuase ctd upon entering battle... anybody has a clue about this?

For the color-bug, do you use an ATI-Grafikcard? If yes, use a driver below 9.4...then it should work...

the napoleon portrait in campaign of the coalition is wrong just so you know.

also, generals rank and experience get randomized upon load game.

thanks, and agreed a little uber powerful and unbalancing imho.

na i always use nvidia cards i have had this whte uniform bug for ages now and it tends to happen if i am fighting the french as the english or prussians. i also started a campaign as Hessian but still had the white bug? any ideas what could be causing it

[Melonfish]

Odd bug, when defending have a line unit build trenches, then when the game starts form square.
its then impossible to unform a square as the unit appears to be locked against the trench/rampart.
tried this in campaign and in single battles as british, french, austrian and prussian, all the same...

I started a Great Britain campaign and have encountered this same bug as well. It happens every time I try to board a ship whilst opting to continue pursuit instead of just ending a sea battle. Otherwise the symptoms are exactly the same with mouse and keys - ect.

This is a game breaker and needs to be addressed for the next patch. So, help me G*d!

I noticed ETW soldiers as captian for Armed Citizenary in Italian campaign for Austria and in European campaign for Russia.

So Russia had and ETW soldier and Austria. They look like crap.

CA fix this! Please!

Also there is a bug with flag mix up. Crimean Canate and Curland have in battle Austrian flag floating above the units even if the infantry units carry in hand the right flag.

I am getting a bug where I am playing as the French and the British send a big Naval group with Troops to land at the Caen Normandie landing area and it gets stuck there going back and forth every turn. It started about mid 1806 time frame not sure what I need to say to explain, but the Army does not land and basicly is stuck in ships going back and forth. And this is with the new patch and the new DLC units we just got this last week. Hope this is enough info for you to fix this bug. Thanks Ax

[Neoton]

Same here, but my "white" bug often becomes black one, just like uruk-hais .

[Total Bliss]

Sea battles crash if you try and board an enemy ship after you click - continue - pursuit. This is gamebreaker in my opinion.

[Dogmeat]

Some small bugs

#Battle Prefrences - ie unit flags, pic in pic etc settings will not save
#Unit Flags in Battle appear for re inforcments even if turned off for all other units.

#Unit flag mouse over function does not work. (land or sea)

#Sea Battle hull/sail icon sometimes becomes corrupted.

Pretty sure these are the same bugs as in ETW release so im sure you have an easy fix for em CA unless those staff left as well

#Units forming squares that overlap field defences (trenches) cant unform square.

#Heavy Dragoons will occasionally garrison houses on there horses......

hi,
Now, i have got the auto save bug !!!! when i click for turn running, i ve got a crash and when i want to load my game (auto save).... crash !!!!! Can i prevent the auto save ?

[karamazovmm]

you've got a corrupted save, in the main menu click single player and then click load game, choose another save. Save game corruption is a common bug un the tw series
