Units running to all directions.

Hello guys

After issuing an order to units, they start doing this:

Basically as you can see they run around like crazy and no matter what i do they do not go where i want them to be. How this can be fixed? Thanks.

This happens rarely...
it seems the affected units looses totally cohesion...
This is a vanilla RTW bug and is nothing which can be fixed...ignore it...its really happen only once in a lightyear

restarting the game should avoid it for further battles although the current affected battle seems not fixable as far as I remember.

It always happens to me, but only when the enemy is sallying from a besieged town, so i just avoid those battles if possible.

I used to see this in M2TW - it was caused by, strangely enough, using a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. I've no idea why it caused a problem (would also see odd behaviour with right clicking in excel menus) but by using a wired mouse the problem went away. If you have both wireless, any chance you can try a wired mouse?

this happend to me 3 times allready in last 6 motnhs, once in multiplayer

**johnnieangel** · February 18, 2011, 11:22 AM

Ive noticed it when I seige a town my light axilliaries( unually only 1 unit) will run amok in the open field rather that attack....happen once every few battles....

According to meh, this only happens when having a siege battle on un-walled settlements. I just try to avoid those if possible.

I might be wrong tho.

I have only ever experienced this with a barbarian faction. The Belgae and the Germans. Also it only affected the skirmishers.

I always seem to encounter this bug when assaulting the rebel settlement in Crimean Peninsula. It has happened me two times, on two different playthroughs

Yes, I have seen this with my missle units when I play as the romans (I want to say they were barbarian mercs...) Anyway, try issuing a 'stand and fight' order along with 'tight' formation. That should get them back in line.
