Bug Reports for 6.3! - Post CTDs in a new topic!

[Ishan]

Glad to help bro.

I don't seem to be able to install the 'fixes 4.2' download properly. I have saved it into the ss6.3 folder numerous times but nothing happens, even aftter I run a setup.exe. Also, the file disappears and I can only see it when I try to save it again. Nor will my laptop allow me to edit and run the file manually, because of an administator block. Well, I checked, and I am the administrator. What can I do?

[Meneth]

Select the file
Hit F2
Add .exe at the end
Run the file

[pikeryan]

Yeah, sorry, I should have made it clear, but I have read that. I can't even see the file to select it, and when I can, it's locked quoting that I need aministrative authority. The only time I can see the 'fixes' file is when I try to download it again.

[Meneth]

Sounds like an issue with your browser.
Install Firefox, Chrome, or Opera, then try again with your new browser.

I have turned on my pc today and both icons(launcher and config)have changed shape and if I click on them to run the mod it says "link missing"...how to restore them and play the mod?
yesterday it worked well...what happened???

I am able to launch the setup by clicking on the proper icon INTO the ss6.3 folder btw
Also,how to check if the fixes are installed properly?

[pikeryan]

Sorted. Much appreciated.

[pikeryan]

Spoke too soon. The setup.exe file doesn't run now. After I put in the settings there is an error message. "Error while trying to create a temporary file. Operation aborted." Any ideas?

I just discovered the Jane the Witch thread that Ishan didn't hesitate to close after some posts - I'd like confess that her presence is all my fault as I included only that female name among in Slave names section in SSNOP, in the hope it won't have any effect on the game.

However, since now I learned that it's pretty much not the case, I'd like to apologize and also reassure you that this silly bug will be fixed soon in the 1.0 final release of SSNOP, which will contain proper names for 'slave' characters too (heretics and witches, in practice).

Sorry again, guys!

[Meneth]

Disable UAC
Move SS6.3 out of Program Files
Disable read-only on your SS folder

If it doesn't work, reapply the Fixes
It it still doesn't work, reinstall SS6.3 in a folder outside Program Files
If it still doesn't work, PM gracul

I was wondering where Jane the Witch got into the game.

(amusing thread though.)

Yep, actually I even asked you about the slave names in pm after the beta release, and you told me what their real purpose is.

When i do some battles (especially siege battles) my computer crashes when i try to control them only allowing me to auto-resolve. i have been able to play normal battles and control them. Now this is my first time downloading ss at all and i cant wait to actually get into the campaign (i play the first few turns but am forced to restart). You guys did a great job now if i can just get that bug fixed i can enjoy your hard work

Hello. Playing as Byzantine for 90 turns and noticed that I'm losing my money rapidly! For example when moving my army on the field and after the battle there's 10000 missing in the treasury. When reload, it gets back but after the turn is over again, there's 10000 less in treasury (no ports were blockaded or sieged cities or castles). Also swordsmith guild not seems to be working as my units don't get chevron after retraining them, so I destroyed them (guilds). Not sure but maybe the problem with money started after I got two or three swordsmith guilds that not function. I had about 150000 but after 6-7 turns I'm down to 30000!! Is this a bug and is there any way to fix this?? Thanks

Headsup:
Any CTD reported here will get deleted from now on. CTDs are to be reported in a new topic, if you report them here you just make our work harder.

To say it again:

Please report only non-CTD bug's in this topic, such as typos or graphical errors.

If you have a CTD (crash to desktop) problem, create a new thread in this sub-forum.

Information to include:

• when is the CTD happening (turn number, who's turn, which era)
• which additional setup features did you install (your campaign options like AI etc)
• attach your zipped/rared system.log (can be found in start menu -> stainless steel -> error log)
• attach your campaign script (found in SS6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign)
• optionally you can attach the save game file.

Thanks for understanding and helping us to help you

I launch the Setup.exe but the progress bar just gets to the middle and then seems to stop. The game does not initiate. If I launch it from the shorcut it does. Is this correct?

[Meneth]

Yes, that's normal.
The next version of SS_Setup.exe will include a button to launch the game.

Hi Guys,

Completely new to SS but I think I have found a bug. I just downloaded 6.3 via method 5 on the "Guide for the hopelessly lost", followed all the instructions :

On move one, English campaign, Early Era, VH/VH - just checking around settlements:

- In Caen (Wooden Castle) It says "2 free upkeep companies" - 2 units of Fyrd Spearmen are free (shaded blue, says "free upkeep while garrisoned" or similar when I mouse over unit cards)

- In Winchester (Wooden Castle) It also says "2 free upkeep companies" - there are 2 Fyrd Spearmen, and 1 Levy Archers, BUT none are free?!

- In Nottingham (Castle) It also says "2 free upkeep companies" - there are 2 Fyrd Spearmen, and 1 Levy Archers, and ONLY the Levy Archers are free!

I realise that there is some strange system of free upkeep that applies to some militia in cities and some professionals in castles (could someone explain this to me btw?) but WTF is going on with the above?! It makes no sense at all!

Yours completely bemused,

aaaaa

franch cavalry "men at arms", the pic in desc page(right click) shows that they ride mail horse, but actually bard horse.

[Meneth]

Units can only be free upkeep if the settlement can recruit that unit.
