Bug with generals in 6.3

[knight_12]

This is a scotish family mamber and you can see that there is something wrong with his armour. The same is with the english and franch generals on the battle map. Can someone help me with this because it really annoying

[bɑne]

I have bugs on the battle map and my generals have metal feathers on their heads and wrong armor on their bodies. Sorry but i don;t have a screenshot right now to post.

I'm guessing this is a persistent problem. Was UAC off during install?

[knight_12]

Sorry for the stupid questin but wat is UAC ?

[bɑne]

If you have Vista or Windows 7, then you have UAC.

knight-12,

UAC means User Access Control. it is a security function with WIN7/Vista.

How do I turn off UAC?

Turn User Account Control on or off

I am also running the game from Program Files86/Sega something, does that matter?

Yes, the program folder receives special protection by the system meaning it automaticly reverses changes made to it it deems "unauthorized". Aka any modding...

[knight_12]

Thanks for the answers people. I use XP so i don't have UAC.

Well it looks like something is messing with your images. Do you still have the org. installation files? reinstall never hurts.

[knight_12]

Yeah that's what I am doing now i hope it will work.

[knight_12]

Ok.That didn't work. I have the same problem but i have noticed that for Aragon there is no problem with the armours.

[knight_12]

SO any ideas how i can fix that ? Thanks in advance for any help.

Knight_12,

When was the last time you updated the Graphics Card driver?

I don't think is from that ' cus there is nor problem with the aragon's family mambers.

[bɑne]

Well - one thing I'd try: A custom battle with generals from your bugged and nonbugged factions on higher and lower graphics settings to see if it makes a difference. Should be able to check out 8 or so pretty fast that way (same battle) and if it changes anything well know more.

[knight_12]

But how i must a custom battle with family mambers the problems it's only with them not the unit?

[bɑne]

Well I thought that a generals bodyguard with a generals in the unit would be the same but if not then you have to do field battles to compare.

[knight_12]

Still the same problem mate... I guess there is nothing i can do to change it.

Ok... lets get creative. Do you have a Stainless_Steel_Kingdoms.bat from earlier versions?

Nevermind. I added a rar. Extract/move the contents into your SS6.3 folder. It should create a bat file to start the game without the launcher - we'll test to see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't work you'll have to modify the file as I wrote the path from memory. Let me know how you get on.

That should have been everything - I've no ideas left atm sorry.
Whats left is pointing you back to the Graphics Card driver. Updating can't hurt.
