[Viking raider]

I can't put my unit details to higher than medium, so the bodies on the battlefield disappears after a some seconds.

[The Juggernaut]

I played a battle the other day on a bridge. Fo rthe first battle on that bridge it worked just fine, but after that, I had to fight on the same map again, and the bridge did not work. Anyone else with this problem?

Multiplayer Bugs:

1) Lobby lags (Fraps gives 3-4 frames per second, jumps back to 200-300 range when say, in game hosting window).

2) Chat box sometimes dissapears for no reason in hosted game, (while waiting to start).

3) Game doesn't start if listed as Ranked and you don't have the exact amount of players in game as listed for the map. (A warning would be needed, just sitting there doing nothing is a bug)

4) No option for restricted Camera. (not really a "bug", just a very bad omission/design issue, being able to float over any point of the battlefield)

5) Same Nation can be on both sides of a battle (again, not a bug, just a very poor design choice, since it's literally impossible to tell between the units, except for the very thin border on the already tiny flags over the units).

6) When a player drops, the AI takes over, but with no warning or other message to inform the remaining players of that. It leads to serious misunderstandings in-game.

7) Host's skill rating is always listed as 1 star in the lobby, regardless of how many they actually have.

BTW, is there a chance someone will go through this thread, compile the bugs and present them to someone at CA, in hopes of them addressing these issues?

[James Cook]

I would say that a Moderator will do the job, atleast thats the impression i have with other bug lists

For some reason, on the battlefield some units animation/behavior or something might kill FPS. I'm not sure how but I've experienced it twice - first I only noticed the slowdown, the second time I actually recovered the FPS by eliminating a certain enemy unit. Same thing I've experienced in ETW but I've never noticed that after killing (or losing) a certain unit FPS went back to normal. Can't tell you more except that the unit that caused the slowdown the second time was an artillery unit, I was besieging an enemy fortress and there it was, sitting outside the walls. I bombarded the fortress and FPS went down significantly and controls became laggy (like choosing a unit) which I attributed to the tons of smoke and flames on the battlefield but then I killed the arty and smoke didn't matter any more as FPS recovered and game became responsive. Go figure.

The army I chose for a custom battle as Prussia did not save, when the battle loaded it gave me the preset army. This happened twice.

Autosaves disappear after reloading the game- maybe not a bug, but it bugs me.

I am also having the Ultra textures issue- my units look like they were taken from Histwar.

[theglenlivet12]

Flickering shadows. Happened on both my old 8800 GT OC 512 and my newer ATI 5770.

Units getting fatigued when kneeling behind walls

They also get fatigue when using special passive abilities (like light infantry doctrine when unit spreads out and looks for cover). I mean they are not running around or anything, just standing in this formation and yet still get tired.

Am I missing something about updating drivers? Has that fixed this issue for anyone?

[LT Mor]

this is very strange.
when playing campaign game -> in battle all the units have white uniform.
redcoat's have white coats ...

when trying a custom battle -> all the units have the color uniform.
redcoat's have redcoat's ...

like the 1st post in this thread.

also this :
I have a graphical issue with NTW - during town battles there are tiny black dots on all the buildings.

and this :
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue, but for some reason I can't take screenshots in Napoleon Total War. Print screen doesn't seem to register the active screen, so it's taking a screenshot of the desktop rather than Napoleon!

Doesnt sound like a big deal for some of you but i dont liek it that the belgium flag is wrong

It should be black yellow red not red yellow black

Actually... they could be right for once. In the first years after 1830 two versions were used (horizontal and vertical), red being closest to the flagpole. Eventually the vertical version was chosen, and they began to put black closest to the flagpole. But Article 193 of the Constitution says "The Belgian nation chooses as its colours red, yellow, black"... and was never changed afterwards

I will go through everything soon and create a detailed list. I may end up creating a new forum for this.

It only happens as Prussia??

It may be designed that way to save space since save games are fairly large. I will check and see what happens on mine.

Some of the guys in the tech help section are fairly knowledgeable about which drivers to use with certain chipsets. CA definitely needs to fix this but until then you might ask there.

What OS are you using and are you running more than a single monitor? I have seen weird things like this a few times on various machines that usually has nothing to do with which program is running. For now try using ALT + PrtScrn and see what happens.

I am not going to include stuff like this as historical accuracy can always be debated. If people really care about these things then I can start another thread for it, but I do not consider this a bug.

[GrnEyedDvl]

Unstuck. Lets try and keep this all in one place.

[LT Mor]

I am using Win 7 32BIT.
only one screen.
Alt didn't help.

but i can conform that using alt + tab bring the color back if you have "white" uniform.

When I was attacking Courland, Courland had Austrian flags in battle, but their own uniforms just Austrian flags!
