!!!ENGLISH VERSION IMPORTANT INFO!!!!!

Morning All

After play testing for the last few days and trying to sort out some sound irregularities i found a critical area causing i believe 99.9 % of the CTD for players using 1.4.4 ENGLISH version.

I wont go into too many details suffice to say that some key files are not being found or recognised.

Now i have tried every solution i know of to resolve this even using the files from COW v1.3 but still get the same amount of CTD's.

Islendil's word on this is that the English sound issue is currently being revised by the English Translation and version team and sorted and hopefully together with Galloper will come out with a fix for us.

But as of now if you wish to play COW 1.44 with little or no issues including game breaking CTD's you need to un-install ENGLISH and re-install the RUSSIAN version.

I will be on hand to answer questions most of today.

What!? This is a terrible news

agreed i am getting insane amount of CTDs and not only that but Border Princes and Dark Elves have no sound what so ever. its very odd.

My version of 1.4.4 has been incredibly stable and works fine. I also get all sounds. But then, I am using russian sounds.

EDIT:

I am using the 1.4.4 English translation. My install process 1.4 + 1.4.1+1.4.2+1.4.3+1.4.4 (all russian patches) + 1.4.4 english translation. I also made all changes as suggested in 1.4.4 important info thread. My version has been extremely stable. I did notice some ctds (very few) caused by missing textures and in middenhiem city battle, I had to turn my graphics way down otherwise ctd.

What!? This is a terrible news

Indeed so but rest assured you have some of the finest modding minds on the TWC working to get it right.

as stated unfortunately there are some missing files etc and wrong configs. but hopefully will be sorted soon.

Agreed. played a Russian Hochland campaign and so far roughly 25 turns with not one CTD....

UPDATE:

I have tried another combination of fixes and am testing as i am typing this for a quick work around for English users.

If anyone has a stable version of 1.4.4 Full English version working please post here so we can maybe figire out what is going on.

cheers

Well i have played for 2 days now and im only getting battle loading CTD's so it seems to work.

Not getting any campaign CTD's or turn end CTD's which is a welcome relief, so the game is becoming more playable for me...

BTW:

Playing as Reikland, i havent tested any others yet

I turn ctd for both Reikland and the Russian state for which I cannot remember. It always happens after 8 or so turns I think that it may indeed have something to do with the new translations? I have not experienced this before :O
