why was this topic moved? :/

Gigantus, I wait until your download version of COW comes out before I play. Thank you sooooooo much for putting your time and effort into making the mod easier to download and clearing up many of the CTDs.

What?

THIS is his version of CoW 1.5, but it's renamed to Rage of the Dark Gods.

EDIT: Nevermind, I misread.

Will the second patch ruin my saves?

Gig, is patch 2 savegame compatible? Did you reduce all the textures' sizes already in this patch? I mean the really large ones like the Minotaurs? Thanks in advance.

Patch 2 should be save game compatible in so far that it will not negatively effect the save. I am just not sure if the changes to descr_faction_standings or EDB, EDU take effect without a new game, but chances are that they will be accepted.
So far I have only reduced the texture sizes in the siege_engines folder - unit_models will be a longer project.

Edit:
Just started with the project:

377 files with more then 2MB each = 1177MB
Expected size after reduction = 220MB

Will the second patch ruin my saves?

Didn't see that, thanks.

Anyone still seeding?

Me.

I'll continue seeding until my ratio reached 2.5, after that will seed on request only.

Thanks for pointing out that I forgot to give info about the size (and number of files) added that now.

It is indeed just over 5GB in size (15 files, 5.03GB)

Blasphemy, It would never happen in lore!

My Druchii warlord with more than 3000 warriors turned rebel and with that my nother Druchii force is no more!
It would never happen in lore, as druchii are hateful against the weak ones who falls into corruption!

Malekiths own Raiding-Lieutenant turned rebel? #¤%&

Installation (of all three parts) and everything works great untill I get to the battle mode. The game crashes and so far it seems seems to be against Chaos dwarves, or Night goblins... error message appears saying "sigma preserve us, Chaos have taken over". Very frustrating been longing to play a clean version or playable version of this mod. Iam on windows 7, and I have changed all security settings as required, also added patch 1 and 2, tried reinstalling a couple of times but still the same crash on the battles. Attached my log just wondered if anyone can help please iam at my wits end!!

[The dead one]

I hope you have installed the patches. I haven´t had any crashes and I´m on turn 60 something.


oh you had installed them. hummm then I guess only gigantus might know hahah! Try a new campagne maybe ?

[airwalkboy]

Already tried that a few times and it still keeps crashing

Please check the 'error reporting' part in the first post on how to submit a more detailed log, the present one is not off any help.

I love your work with the 1.5 , but somehow I can't play runelord aka anvil of doom without a crash .
Can you play runelord at custom battle in your pc ?

[airwalkboy]

Removed hash from trace and added to error as instructed in the first post then went to the medevil systems logs folder and it is similar to the last log. This time it crashed trying to load an autosave. It worked perfectly for two hours this morning It was awsome!!!. Then I came back and the same crash happened before it had chance to load the campaign map up, whereas before it was on battle mode. The version is 1.0.08 and Iam playing as the dwarves. I have attached my log, but it will probably be no good as it looks similar to the last one, iam positive I followed the error log repor on post 1. thanks Gigantus
