Just wait patiently for few minutes, your machine needs some time to process all the files in the package, thus the "freeze".

Hi, just two small bugs.

1. You can have two roads in the city of Mashhad. When I conquered it, I could build dirt roads, although there were some already.

2. Minor text bug in the Kara-Khitai Bowmen description: right now they are from a "kindgom", not from a kingdom.

[wudang_clown]

Thanks, I've noted them down.

Playing as the Eastern Roman Empire and I get a repeatable CTD when I try to defend Seleukeia.
It happens both when I attack the besieging army with an army from outside and when I just wait for them to attack my settlement.

I am playing with RBBR and the No AoR submod by Soulblade, though I don't think it is relevant here.

I uploaded the savegame: Attachment 225612

It would be better if you attached BC log. I won't be able to recreate it, because you are using submods, and my installation is modified, so there may be other interference in play.

Here is the system log:

I think the problem has to do with one of the Armenian units. Every time I try to fight that army I get a CTD, doesn't matter which one of my armies I use. So maybe it is EDU problem, but I am not that experienced.

By the way, how can I refresh my system log? It ignores some of my M2-mods.

I think I found the cause of my CTD. It occurs because of the Italian Merc Crossbow unit, you can recruit them in ports, but they are not available in custom battles and I can't find them in the EDU.
I played custom battles with every other unit which was in this CTD army, all went smooth.

I know that I have a RC EDU, so can you please check if they are in your "vanilla" EDU? If it contains this unit, can you send me your EDU, so I can add them?
If that unit is just a relic, I have to change the EDB and remove them from ports.

It is not a bug, your army upkeep is just pretty high, thanks to your generals.

Solution:
Usually I never disband units, you shouldn't do that either. You have two armies standing around, use them to conquer both Yerevan and Ganja (= with a minor cavalry army, the rebels should rally out after your turn).
Build merchant's wharfs in Sokhumi and Kutaisi and get a trade agreement with Byzanz -you have a diplomat standing around near Trebizond.
And get some merchants, you can build 3.
All this should happen during your first turn when you still have money.

hi everyone I have one major problem in BC 2.3.2 when i am moving mouse cursor over unit card in battle there is no information about there numbers, morale and etc. anyone knows solution?

[k/t]

I also got crashes when trying to play a battle with the Italian Mercenary Crossbowmen. The log said the texture was missing. This was a clean 2.3.2.2 install.

[TMK]

Have you searched for the texture? Is it there in your BC mod files?

@GIGABYTE: Explain further. Can you see white marks where the info is supposed to be or can you see nothing at all?

The textures are there. The log no longer says anything about them (or maybe I didn't see it - I searched for "error".). However, the unit still causes the game to crash when I enter a battle. It's the only unit in the game that causes this problem. The meshes are there, the textures are there, and what's more, the Italian Mercenaries (levy_md_axemen) use the exact same textures and sprite

59 unit_models/_Units/levy/textures/levy_md_brigandine.texture
66 unit_models/_Units/levy/textures/levy_md_brigandine_normal.texture
49 unit_sprites/milan_Genoese_Crossbowmen_sprite.spr

and I can fight a battle with them without problems.

Can others use the Italian Mercenary Crossbowmen in battles?

"Dammit, now I have it installed but not sure how to launch it. I keep launching the regular game and not BC."

Use the BC shortcut on the desktop.

Starting the campaign again without restarting the computer ends with the same CTD.

[GIGABYTE]

I reinstalled game and everything works perfect

[Moritol]

I copied and pasted the missing Italian merc Crossbow files in my EDU, now I can't start the game anymore.

I can't find them in my EDB either, but it says that I can recruit Levy M. Crossbows (Polen = Armenia). As far as I know they exist in custom battles.
