Diadochi - TW: Bugs, Known Issues & Hotfixes

[TheMacchiavelli]

Alright, my CTD is now magically gone but, when I click on Tarentum and try to construct something I get booted. This is all while playing with Epirus. I never really thought about saving the game first so I will try that again and I am using Alexander while playing this mod.

Game crash at 257 BC - when reforms should kick in.

Bug Report Form
-) Campaign: Imperial/turn 87
-) Engine: RTW/BI/ALX , DTW 1.20 with hotfixes added - same with DTW 1.21
-) Faction: Rome
-) Issue: CTD (crash to desktop)
-) Description: After all the factions make their turns , the last icon is on (rebels,slaves) , the game works harder , as if out of memory and it crashes.

It is exactly the turn when the reforms should kick in. It's like writing the reform stuff is too hard for the game so it crashes.

I hate it ! Anybody got any solution ?

Thanks.

What do you mean "get booted"? And you get all these troubles while playing Epirus?

[ramzito]

Ok, I tried the imperial campaign and the other regional campaigns and I could save and load alright.
I tried playing the Pyrrhic wars campaign with other factions and the Save and Load options can't be clicked on (even though I kept saves from the other campaigns). This is definitely a bug.
Can someone help me please.
This is the only campaign I am really interested in playing.

Read the FAQs.

[ramzito]

-) Sometimes the Save\Load game buttons in the campaign map menu are greyed.

Exit the game and delete your RTW\DTW\preferences folder.


Thanks for the reply.
I tried to do what the FAQ says but it didn't work. The Pyrrhic wars campaign is the only one that does me this. Really weird...

[Spartan 666]

Yeah, I have always fixed that issue by simply deleting the pref folder. Try to delete both the folder and all map.rwm files and see if it works. Also, have you read the FAQ warning about playing different campaigns in the same gaming session? That's very important as well..

The campaign script is still running. This is why you cannot save. Most likely a bug in the Pyrrhic Wars campaign script.

Is there no way to fix this?

I also tried to delete the map.rwm files and I tried starting the Pyrrhic campaign directly with trying other ones. I still couldn't load or save.

[Spartan 666]

Try to terminate the script manually, then exit and restart. If even this don't work, then I really don't know what you might do...I have always fixed it very easily.

Hi, I'm new on this forum. I have add new names in the games (in name, desc names and desc names lookup files) and i rename character in strat files in imperial campaign and War of Diadochi but games crash when i want to start a campaign. I have read some tutorials and i don't understand why the game crash. So I required help please.

Excuse me for my bad english.

I have tried everything but in vain. I am afraid I will give up on this mod

[RedFox]

Download the Zeus Tool - the almighty RTW file validator. It should help you along the way.

[Séleucos Nikator]

Thanks for this RedFox!
I will try this when I have time.

In addition, I thank you for this great mod and your team !!

Hello, excuse me again ResFox. I used your program and I have corrected a mistake, a name on strat file in the War of diadochi and Imeprial campaign. However, the two campaigns do not work. Is that this may be because I changed too many names in the strat file?

[Spartan 666]

Please give us more details...does the game give any kind of error message? What engine are you using?

Anyway it's hardly a matter of how many names you've changed, you can change all of them if you want, as long as all entries are correct.

[Spartan 666]

If you get a KTM (Kick To Menu) with the imperial, try to start it and then exit the game immediately. Should give some kind of error message, while CTDs usually don't.

I don't think it's a matter of WinXP, indeed RTW should run better and smoother on that OS. A possibility should be hidden characters and formattation...are you using the default Windows Notepad or something else? I highly recommend Notepad++. It allows to see hidden characters and to change EOL (End Of Line) settings and text formattation. Not all the files have to be formatted in the same way.

I can't help you more precisely right now, I've just got a new laptop and don't have the chance to reinstall RTW for a while.

[Séleucos Nikator]

Thanks for the program Notepad++. I download this and i found mistake in Strat file. Now two campaign work. Thanks for help!

Now i can begin new campaign.

[Spartan 666]

Glad to hear that. Remember, from now on, to always use Notepad++. It saves a lot of unexplicable crashes..

[Oberbefehlshaber]

The game crashes when selecting certain settlements in Pyrrhus and Sons of Mars campaigns, this happens almost exclusively with the Seleucids and Epirus, and Greeks in Sons of Mars. I have no idea why because it gives no error.

Also, the new resorces for this mod, I think its salt, fish and horses show up as gold in the settlement trade scroll. I also have no idea why because the icon textures are there and path is right in the descr_sm_resources, (data/ui/resources/resource_fish.tga), for example. Maybe you can help Spartan.

In case you were wondering, I still get these errors on a non-modded version of 1.20, so it is not from me changing files.
