Bug, problems, and glitches in the 2.3 version

[Cincinatus]

It does not give me a error log or message. I see the DOS load up screen with all the files copying, then the 4 Khanates load wall paper screen, then the desktop.

I give up, it used to be fine playing it until I installed 2.3 and it seems everything went downhill from there. Here is a log for my crashes to desktop mode if you are interested into looking at it.

The problem is that M2TW is looking for mounts that I've removed in the 2.3.3 version. I'd recommend downloading the 2.3.3 patch from one of these sites:

A few issues (once again, with the Mughal Empire)
Crowning doesn't happen even when the leader is alone in the capital (both Delhi and Quetta) for long periods. Generals don't increase in loyalty when in the homeland.

Unfortunately generals can only have a maximum of 8 ancillaries, so if they have 8 they can't get the crown. I'm not sure how to fix this.

I'm not if it's possible to increase loyalty if a general is in a homeland region.

Also, you should make the roads in northern India all highways, as Sher Shah Suri only recently built the Grand Trunk Road (Called the Sadak-e-Azam in this time). The Sadak-e-Azam should extend through the entire Suri Dynasty out to Quetta. Other than that, everything is fine!

Thanks for that. Changing the starting level of buildings is easy to do.

It does not give me a error log or message. I see the DOS load up screen with all the files copying, then the 4 Khanates load wall paper screen, then the desktop.

Did you download this mod in 5 parts? If so you have to unpack each exe file separately because I don't know how to make the first part auto unpack the other exe files.

A big Thank You to uanime5 for fixing this problem and now my map is working once again. Thank You!!!!!

Here is an idea for those that downloaded the full 2.2.1 ver first with every other patches needed to be filled in and steps to get this mod working! Here is an step by step from me on my downloaded version of mod to work.

Download Instructions
1. Download everything first, before extracting any files to other files!!!!!!!!
2. Just google free winrar version and download it to extract files in the end (x32) or (x64) to folder in Local Disk (C) and install winrar to fully work.
2. Download 1.5 patch for GOLD version of MTW 2 if you have that version
3. Download *full part* of Conquest 2.2.1 in under one link on the thread provided by uanime5
4. Download *all* patches to Conquest 2.2.1 first (1230, empire, unit models)
5. Download export_descr_unit (1230)
6. Download conquest patch 2.3
7. Download conquest bat 2.3
8. Download conquest patch 2.3.2
9. Download battle_models 2.3.3
10. Download Conquest+Patch+2.3.3
11. Put all downloaded files of mods in a seperate folder in another drive to easily remember.

Steps by Steps on my part to install the mods
1. Install Winrar
2. Extract 1.5 patch of MTW II GOLD to Local Disk (C)/Program File or Program File (x86)/Sega/Medieval II Total War
3. Extract file of Conquest 2.2.1 to Local Disk (C)/Program File or Program File (x86)/Sega/Medieval II Total War
4. Extract *each* files *individually* (1230, empire, unit models) to Local Disk (C)/Sega/Medieval II Total War/mods/Conquest/data
5. Copy export_descr_unit (1230) from downloaded folder and replace the *orginal* file with the new one in Local Disk (C)/Program File or Program File (x86)/Sega/Medieval II Total War/mods/Conquest/data/1230
6. Extract conquest 2.3 patch to Local Disk (C)/Program File or Program File (x86)/Sega/Medieval II Total War and *replace* everything in it
7. Extract conquest bat 2.3 to Local Disk (C)/Program File or Program File (x86)/Sega/Medieval II Total War and *replace* everything in it
8. Extract conquest patch 2.3.2 to Local Disk (C)/Program File or Program File (x86)/Sega/Medieval II Total War and *replace* everything in it
9. Extract battle_models 2.3.3 to Local Disk (C)/Program File or Program File (x86)/Sega/Medieval II Total War/Conquest/data/unit_models and *replace* everything in it
10. Extract Conquest+Patch+2.3.3 to Local Disk (C)/Program File or Program File (x86)/Sega/Medieval II Total War and *replace* everything in it
11. Should be all done and start running Conquest XP or Vista bat to test game

I have found that two of the nations in the Campign The Four Khanates have the same name. The two Russian factions are both named Duchy of Moscow.

[Dargaron]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but the Russian Tzardom can't recruit Streltsy in the 1547 campaign. I looked through the building tree, but they aren't recruitable from the military acadamy at either level.

The only thing I can think of as to why I can't recruit them is that perhaps they need either: ADV_MATCHLOCK or the_flintlock. But then, why are they part of the initial garrisons of Russia?

[Sarisophoros]

I have made a post under download section one week ago but no one answered. I don't know how things go here, do the developers usually answer any questions posted here? Anyway, my problem was that it takes 13 hours for me to download the whole 2.3.3 Version (1 part) from depositfiles so I can not download it. So i asked if it is possible to upolad it anywhere else? Is it?

I know. I do plan to fix this but as it isn't a major bug that causes crashes it'll be fixed when I next release a patch.

Currently to get Streltsy you need to build an Officer's Academy in Vilnius or Kiev. It seems that the hidden resources I used for these units are based on the hidden resources for the European campaigns. Unfortunately most of Russia uses a different hidden resource in the Empires campaign. I'll need to fix this in the next patch.

Help:

I can play the 1230 campaign with no problems. I save my game and exit. When I try and load my 1230 campaign game I get a CTD. What could the problem be?

Try upgrading to the 2.3.3 version of this mod. This fixes a problem with 1230 saves.

Why does Eras Total Conquest keep encountering an unspecified error on the conquest.xp bat and now exit to the desktop like all the time when trying to load from the continued save games. Here is a error log to clear things up, thanks!

If you download the latest patch saves from before you added this patch won't work. Also there was a bug with the 1230 campaign that prevented saves from loading. This was fixed in the 2.3.3 version.

[localsoxfan]

Try Orbit Downloader, it maybe a little bit faster. But not too sure about it though.

In the 1220 crusade campaign the Bosnian generals unit have no textures, and is metal like.

[Sogdog]

Hi

I also have the latest patch installed. Just a quick question: do you unpack 2.3.3 into the mods folder or into the MTWII data folder?

[Sogdog]

Got it working. I had the game patched to 2.3, after upgrading to 2.3.3 it works! What are the major changes?

[Brotherblaze]

I have no idea which version of eras I have...seriously. How do I check ?

[doddydad]

Campaign: mongol invasion (kind off)
Problem: i can't change what campaign i go on, no matter what i put in it stays on mongol invasion.

[uanime5]

In both 1547 and 1500, at least so far, the Janisarry Arqusbiers cause a CTD on loading a battle. Ditto for late Hungarian bodyguard. It appears to be an issue with the textures or models.

not fixed by 2.3.3 patch, which I installed over my 2.2 installation without installing 2.3.1 or 2.3.2

It's odd that either unit would cause a crash as they've been in the mod for a long time.

I've uploaded the meshes and textures of these units in the unit_models.rar attached to this post. To install download it, unpack it, and put the 'unit_models' folder in the 'mods\conquest\data' folder (default location 'C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\conquest\data').

[QUOTE=localsoxfan;9754861]

All I can recommend is that you load a save file, have M2TW crash, then upload the error log. If I can't figure out the cause of the crash then unfortunately I can't fix it.

Here is an error log and I already have the latest patch that was installed with it, before it started crashing around the timeframe of 1270-1280 as the Song Dynasty. Thanks once again for looking into the concern, uanime5.

Sorry I don't know what the problem is.

I don't think there is an easy way to check which version you have. If you have the 1326 campaign then you've got the 2.3 version but it's not easy to determine if you have the 2.3.0, 2.3.1, 2.3.2, or 2.3.3.

If you use Win 7 you have to disable the User Control. This thread explains how:

What are the units in the picture you uploaded? I don't recognise the unit card of the unit with the shield in Oslo or the unit with the red shield.

When you patched to 2.3.3 did you download the 2.2 version, then install the 'conquest patch 2.3.3.exe'?
