In the past I put such problems down to RAM issues, but the rig I play on these days has more RAM than the game has gigs. Any ideas? Is this a known problem? I've done a search through TWC and on google but only found one other mention of a similar problem.

I just encountered the same error playing the Genoa early campaign on turn 104. Machine locked up on the Fatimids and I had to kill the game. Its not my rig, since like you mine is overpowered for this game. Mine might have something to do with windows 10 download but checking the event log there were a whole bunch of error events when the game stopped working. Right now I'm just going to check it tomorrow and see if it works once win10 has updated.

EDIT
Its not the windows download. Just checked the event log and while I could not find anything specific there were a series of AppModelRuntime errors at the time of the crash.

Is there a specific Med2 error log?

EDIT2

Disregard. Just ran it again with toggle_fow an Follow ai. No stoppage with the Fatimids, just a wait while they moved around. AI seemed to take a long time though moving something in Gaza. Regardless I got through the turn and it seems to be running fine again.

Hello to all,
unity "Arbalesters" (mercenary units) in battle does not show the weapon.
in export_descr_unit.txt it is described as follows: stat_sec 1, 1, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_simple, piercing, knife, 45, 1.
I tried to change with: stat_sec 1, 1, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, sword, 45, 1, but have not solved.
I apologize if it has already been said, I tried a little but did not find anything.
if someone can suggest how to fix I can try.
thanks for your attention, greetings

If it is the model that doesnt show the melee weapon in combat, then is probably an issue with the model itself, it could be solved following the Doctoring units tutorial

EDU Stats mentioning of knife or swords is for the SFX i think

To get the name of the .mesh files used by the unit check the armour_ug_models
and the search them in the battle_models.modeldb

**erissimaco** · January 15, 2016, 08:37 AM

many thanks for your attention and response,
I'll try to follow your advice and those of "Doctoring units tutorial" to resolve the issue.
thank you again

Hi. So far i have not seen anyone else report this bug, it seems like i'm only one with this problem. Since i have been playing with this mod I have noticed that generals are producing heirs much later and living past 75. The generals seem to only get marriage proposals in their 40s and produce children in their 50s. Is this a part of the mod? I have reinstalled this mod about 3 times and i'm still having the same problem...

Hello, I'm playing this on the steam version of m2tw and having some issues with SS 6.4. Everything in the campaign works perfectly with the exception of siege battles. My screen goes black and a message pops up stating that the "game encountered an unspecified error and has to close" at the end of sieges, although auto resolve does not result in a crash. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I've been having the same siege CTD error on steam. There are several threads on the matter, but I have yet to fix my problem. The issue seems to be arising from the models_strat folder. Here is my log.

The trigger for moh_greek ancillary checks " and not FactionwideAncillaryExists moh" rather than " and not FactionwideAncillaryExists moh_greek", allowing Byzantium to have an unlimited number of masters of horse

**vae victus** · May 23, 2017, 08:05 PM

is there a fix for the siege CTD issue? I am having the same thing happen.

u can try g5's ctd fix. Though w/o the log i dunnop whats wrong. Could be a graphics issue (turning down grass/reflections will help and details). Could be a unit issue. Etc Etc. Also, if its just one particular siege and not all of them then u can use the console command auto_win (attacker/defender). You can google the exact code.

Whenever I try 'continue campaign' I get a CTD. Loading from autosave works but any attempt to save causes the crash instead. Also starting a new campaign doesn't work. It simply redirects to the single player menu and disallows any attempt to select new campaign.

edit: I have the 2 patches from the Bug Fixes for SS6.4- DO NOT POST ANY BUGS IN HERE thread. I also have permanent watchtowers on.

**Navajo Joe** · October 09, 2017, 02:19 AM

Please take a look at sticky thread above at reporting an error, need alot more detail than above

**breton_knight 31** · February 17, 2018, 09:28 AM

Hello guys , I play every single other mod and vanilla game battles so smoothly without any lag , only SS 6.4 lags a lot on battles not just siege battles but also pitched battles , any Ideas why ??

**vtheofilis** · February 28, 2018, 01:34 PM

CTM when trying to play the Lake Peipus Battle, SS 6.4 with and without 1.27 Hotfix collection, no mods besides the AI. Some units in the Republic of Novgorod factions are not loaded properly.

**reaper101** · March 04, 2018, 10:12 AM

system.log.txt system.log.txt

Posting here because for some reason a new thread attempt causes errors in the site.

Game encounters an unspecified error on turn...I think 346, year is 1436 with early campaign. I have Bugfix Compilation 1.27, and the error pops up just as the 'rebels' turn ends.

First error log is the main one, second one is from the SS 6.3 folder. Not sure which one is relevant so put up both.

**Flo78** · March 05, 2018, 07:45 AM

Hi i got the problem that the gunpowder event dont happen. I reached in early camp to turn 160 (in descr.events it should happen between 140-150) and in late camp i reached turn 50 (it should happen between turn 24-30). Timescale in descr_strat.txt is 1.00 so i dont understand why it dont happen.
Some help to solve this Problem would be nice

edit:
obviously this mod is dead

very sad

**Used2BRoz** · September 28, 2018, 09:51 AM

No the mod isn't completely dead.
It's just many of the people who built it moved on.
Others are busy.
And sometimes we don't know the problem and it would take a while to try and come up with a fix.

Have you applied the 1.27 bug fix compilation ?

I can't see any obvious reason for this not firing.
It's not an issue anyone else has encountered that I know of.

**MatVego** · October 05, 2018, 04:50 AM

Did you try to turn on this events via console? This is the easiest way to fix IT

**adamincov** · March 18, 2019, 11:05 PM

Hello, Could anyone please explain why my Faction crest button seems to be out of line, it does this when playing as other factions as well but not always the polish flag , just done a fresh install on steam , didnt have this problem before on my disc copy, obviously not unplayable but slightly irritating. I am running Titanium however this is such a tiny bug I was hoping that there may be an answer lerking in a more general part of the forum , cheers.
