Bug Reports for 6.4! - Post CTDs in a new topic!

[gracul]

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)
• attach your zipped/rared system.log (can be found in start menu -> stainless steel -> error log)
• optionally you can attach the save game file.

Most importantly, if you encounted a CTD or CTM(crash to menu) on faction selection and you just installed 6.4, this is most probably an UAC\VirtualStore Problem.
The release thread has a solution to this, another way would be to install 6.3 in a different folder outside Program Files, and install 6.4 on it. Due to the nature of the launcher this solution will work.

1st!

In the disable RR edb, I found this

building guild_assassins_guild
{
  levels assassins_guild m_assassins_guild gm_assassins_guild
  {
    assassins_guild city requires factions { northern_european, middle_eastern, eastern_european, greek, southern_european, }
    {
      capability
      {
        recruit_pool "Battlefield Assassins"  1   0.34   1  0  requires factions { hungary, } and event_counter HEAVY_MAIL_ARMOR 1
        recruit_pool "Hashishim"  1   0.34   1  0  requires factions { moors, egypt, turks, kwarezm, }
        law_bonus bonus 1
      }
      material wooden
      construction  1
      cost  1000
      settlement_min city
      upgrades
      {
        m_assassins_guild
      }

Nice job btw. I was getting ready to sleep and thought I'd check TWC and I saw 6.4 was released. I had this strange feeling....

Tried to have a custom battle with the Knights Hospitaller with plate armour:

fresh install of 6.4 on 6.3 , perm watch towers and savage AI

crap sorry wrong thread

[Hyaweh]

I tried retraining longbowmens and Yeomens in nottingham, w/c defaultly has the woodsmen's guild... the problem is that the training doesn't apply, although i can still retrain them... weirdly, when london became a huge city, I could retrain the militia serjeants infinite times, with nothing really happening to them... no, there's no plague or anything....

[strife1013]

I use Early Campaign, Savage AI, RR (with or without), Permanent Arrows, Permanent Watchtowers and I picked several factons and it went to CTD twice in a row...

[newt]

New thread please. Please read 1st post of this one before posting

[gracul]

@stevehoos
Ok, confirmed, plate Hospitaller will cause a CTD. However, there will be a fully save compatible fix to this so no worries. And it's now so common to have plate Hospitallers anyway

@Hyaweh
I have checked, everything is fine over there. The units get the bonus, what did you mean exactly?

@strife1013
Probably an UAC or VitrualStore problem, the release post has some ways around this.
A 1 definite solution is to install SS6.3 somewhere outside Program Files and then install 6.4 on it.

[stevehoos]

gracul- just to let ya know, I tried the old battle_modles.modeldb form 6.3 and the problem did not occur. but I have no idea what that could cause with other things, just used as a test. As i said above, appears to only happpen with the knights Hospitallers dismounted and knights.

hope that was helpful

[gracul]

Dismounted version works fine. Thanks for reporting this already. Fix will be save compatible, so no worries if people start campaigns.

[stevehoos]

gracul- did you check the dismounted hospitaller knights with full plate armour? I am getting a ctd with that unit before loading in custom battles.

[gracul]

Yes i did and they work fine. I'll test later too, and post a fix.

[VirtualSmitty]

Something I just noticed, in 6.4 the ERE has reverted back to Byzantine empire. Minor issue really, but I got used to playing just as the Roman Empire. Is there a way I could manually edit it back to that?

[CelticAssassin]

Only issue I have is that the year is missing from the UI? Is this intentional or a bug? And either way how would one revert back to the old way? Thanks.

[newt]

Make sure your default.cfg has this

[misc]
show_hud_date=true

It's in your SS6.4 folder

It should be near the end of the file

[CelticAssassin]

Wow, that's interesting. It says exactly that and still nothing?

I also noticed that it says movies=false. Does this mean that there will be no cut scenes for agents?

[newt]

Yes, you are correct.

As for the years: are you looking in the right place? Above the mini map....

[RollingWave]

Hello, I'm trying to adopt my mod in progress to 6.4 but I seem to be running into problems

I fixed all the problems that system.log showed but it still CTDs on start...

the log (btw is the 6.4 log suppose to be so short?) doesn't say anything except...

[newt]

edit default.cfg from this

[log]

level=* error
;level=* trace

to this

[log]
to=mods/SS6.4/system.log.txt
;level=* error
level=* trace

also this is not the place for this question. from http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=293593

This forum is only for reporting bugs when only running Stainless Steel and any of the submods included with the 6.1 installer. If you have installed ANY extra submods, then any bugs/issues/problems you encounter should be posted in THAT SUBMOD'S THREAD IN THE SUBMODS FORUM.

Thank you.

Since you are having problems with your own submods, post in the mod workshop

[Ninefingers]

Fresh 6.4 install, no submods.

The triggers for the horsebreeder's guild in castles seems to be off. All levels of stables increase the chance of a woodsman's guild being offered, not a horsebreeder's. I assume this is unintentional.

I get my xp bonuses now, but I swear as england, I could train archer-types in nottingham many times... prolly due to the archer's guild? i'ma try later
