    Just had my first crash/hang (just as I was telling myself how wonderful it was playing this stable game after Empire).

    It was a bit of a weird crash too, during a naval battle I had won and was just capturing (about to board) the final remaining enemy vessel. With no ships selected I was just zooming the camera around and enjoying the beautiful graphics when the game froze. What's weird is that I could still move the camera and the sounds were still playing, but the game had become permanently paused with no access to any of the controls. Had to alt-tab and shut it down from Windows.

    I hope I don't get many more of these. Was such a nice feeling having a solid game where I don't have to worry about crashing and quick saving every 5 minutes (Empire was horrendous for me)

    Unit stats are once again incorrect on the campaign map (inconsistent with the battle map stats). Honestly, how hard can this be to get right?

    Quick example: On the campaign map the stats for the 80 gun 3rd rate state that it has less firepower then a 74, however when viewing the stats in the battle we can see that this is incorrect. Of course the actual numbers listed (campaign) are wrong also, but at least it'd be nice it they were relatively correct. I'm very glad to see that the heavy first rate is more powerful than a first rate at least, unlike in Empire...

    At least it appears that unit experience boosts are now reflected on the campaign map which is great. I just wish CA could get the lot right, as I say - How hard can it be for someone to look through a table and check the in-game values, a morning's work for a tester surely?

    Ive got a weird one guys, i ve just updated my drivers because, i try and play a single battle and the load screen gets right to the end and then jumps backwards and forwards. The interface loads up, but the screen does not? it then just sits there jumping backwards and forwards.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    edit: I can play the campaign, but not single player land battles
    edit: actually it seems to ba all single player battles. I did have darthmod Commander sdition installed, so i uninstalled that from my prgrams list and i am also going to remove empire from my steam account to see if that solves the problem?

    Thanks. I had thought that issue was limited to nVidia cards.

    I've had the white uniforms aswell, i have an Nvdia 9800+, the starnge thing is so far all the battles this has happened the battle eventually crashes.

    I've also experienced the game freezing on the loading screen, when i Alt-tab out and back in i'm at the main menu.

    I have had two CTDs during battles (one for a land battle and one for a naval battle.) CTDs have been rare, but unfortunately there does appear to be some stability issues with NTW's battles.

    I've also seen some squirrely behavior with the BAI. I had one battle in which two AI controlled horse artillery units just kept limbering and unlimbering throughout the fight. I don't think they ever fired a shot. They just kept limbering up, moving a little bit, unlimbering, and then doing it all over again until my artillery finally blasted them.

    I also saw something similar during a bridge battle. I beat off the AI's initial attack and its army was reduced to a single line unit that then proceeded to march back and forth over a small area on the other side of the river for about 15-20 minutes. This was also the battle in which all artillery units (both mine and the AI's) stopped auto firing despite being in range of enemy units. It almost was like the BAI went to "sleep." It wasn't until I finally ordered one of the guns to fire on a specific target did the BAI come "awake" and actually start acting like there was a battle going on. It was weird.

    Overall, I think NTW is pretty well polished, but still it's an initial release and appears to have some teething issues.

    Is CA actually going to review any of our reports? Or will this be like the so-called "ETW Beta Campaign," which was more like an alpha, and comments regarding which they have completely ignored?

    With that cheery start, here are a couple of things; the first is most important to me:

    1) I began an MP campaign with a friend. We selected the option for fighting out all AI battles. After 2-3 battles which worked just fine, suddenly, every battle -- every one, regardless of who the adversaries were -- was auto-resolved. We had to exit, and hopefully when we return, will be able to reset this to our desired preference.

    2) This is not a bug, but I for one really detest the shaky camera. What is the point of that?

    3) Generals seem to die far too often, even when they are seemingly far from enemies and safe. In one battle we fought, the French general died on the very first cannon shot from my army.

    Oh they will definitely read it. They do read quite a bit more than anyone gives them credit for. Usually they do not respond and we have to give them a bit of slack on that. There is no way possible they can respond to every single question that is asked of them. It leads to a snowball effect thats impossible to keep up with. I can sympathize, you have no idea what its like to have 50+ PMs in your inbox plus an entire forum to read through. Its daunting, and I routinely pass things off to other staff members as its too much to keep up with. In CA's case there is nobody to pass things off to, so they just dont comment at all.

    However we DO want them to take bug issues seriously and fix the items that are truly bugs and that can be fixed. This thread is going to remain for a few days, and then I am going to start a true bug report that is properly formatted and easy to sort through and read instead of just a bunch of random posts.

    Not sure if it's a bug or design decision, my spys die when I destroy enemy armies containing them. I don't think this happened in ETW, IIRC, spys just remain afterwards - like they do survive a city being captured. Granted it's easy to avoid - just pull out spys before attacking but it is a little annoying.

    Well, i've confirmed for myself that usually Alt-tabbing out and back into the game resolves the white uniform issue.

    But now i've discovered that the formation hotkeys more often then not, dont work.
    However if you simply click the formation buttons you can still make formations.

    I've also had the unfortunate bad luck of all my units and even the battle map turning pitch black after changing my graphic settings.
    However, even after reverting my settings i still keep the pitch black textures, so im hoping with some more tweaking i can get it working again, i'll let you know.

    EDIT: the black textures returned to normal after rebooting the game, i did not even need to revert my settings.

    Have the same white uniform bug. Using an Nvidia 9800 GT.

    Also have noticed that my units won't go into one of the buildings, they just form a line in the opposite direction of the building. It happens every time I play the map for Madrid, it might happen on other maps but thats the only one I've experienced it on yet.

    I also think theres a bug with artillery when Fire at will is off because I tell them to fire at units, which are completely in range and they just don't fire.

    Seems to be several users with nVidia cards having that issue, and even one ATI card. This one they really need to fix.

    Each building has a max number of units it can hold. For example in my current battle the Armory can hold 294 and the Town Hall can hold 325. Have you maxed out the building, and can you take a screen shot?



    I also think theres a bug with artillery when Fire at will is off because I tell them to fire at units, which are completely in range and they just don't fire.
    I havent noticed that yet but in my next battle I will turn Fire at Will off and try it.
