[ACW] Feedback & Discussion Thread

[shokh]

And if we give out big patches to download, people also complain.

Hi Shokh,

I thank you very much for your suggestions, but unfortunately there is nothing to do. There's something prevents the beginning of the campaigh. I can launch the program, but nothing more; the game always crashes. I hope the future patch 3.2 replaces the previous one.

The skirmish is ok.
I don't have Warpath I can only play RTI 3.
I don't know what to do more

Guys I need help.

I played the ACW Mod 3.0 a while back and it was running good. until one time when i started it up, i tried to play a battle, and when i started the battle it would go to the loading screen, play the music, the music would pause, and I would CTD, giving me the error message that "ETW was not responding" etc.

Since I use steam i verified the integrity of the game cache, and uninstalled ACW. I reinstalled ACW along with the 3.1 patch, and I still get the same CTD problem.

Can anyone help me out on this?!

Update: It is only campaign. RTI one. Regular custom battles still work.

Also another thing: Is this an error on my part? or is there still no bayonets implemented? Can you answer these questions for me? thanks

Edit: merged double-post; MM

3.1 solved by CTD and AI lack of aggressiveness issues.

The first several battles have been superb!

Huge thanks to the entire ACW team for making such a great mod! I'm really enjoying it.

Hy Savathor,

I did what you suggested and now the game WORKS!!! I thank you again very much. Without your help, I'd have never been able to solve that problem.

[Minas Moth]

[baz44331]

[Npbsurfr]

Can't seem to find technology... any ideas?

Also, where's the log for CTDs on launch?

[Warrior of Newage]

Every link I use to get the download either won't allow me to download for supposed "traffic limit" or only get out 1.0 percent before it stops. Really annoying.

Having Problems getting this mod to work.

I had DMUC installed and found out ACW would not work with other mods installed so I uninstalled DMUC.
from the ETW directory.

I verified the intergraty of the ETW files via stream

I then installed ACW 3.0 and the ACW music pack

Then I installed Patch 3.1

I started the launcher and selected Warpath campaign since I have warpath

I also check to see if there were any nonvanilla files that needed to be removed from the ETW directory and there were none.

I selected US

The launcher took me to the Civil War screen and options.

I selected Civil War Campaign and then the Short version

Hit start campaign and the program Crashed to desktop

Anyone who has an idea of what is going on or suggestions on how to get this program running will be appreciated.

This really should be in the technical help section, but that won't stop me from helping you.
You need to start steam before you start the launcher, if you let the launcher start steam and then the game, it will crash when you try and enter a custom battle or campaign. If you happen to do this, just restart the computer and run staem first, before the launcher.

EDIT: moved to the Technical Help Sub-forum; great prediction Mick MM

I'm confused, I have have the original ETW DVD from years ago, do I still need steam to be loaded and running?

[AzureNight]

Started for me after a clean install, but the campaign selection screen was bugged. It CTD's now.

[Infantry Commander]

I've downloaded 3.1, and here are a few things I've noticed:

-The diplomacy is much better than it was, which is great
-In CS campaign, the Union seems to be recruiting vanilla generals
-If a Union army is led by a vanilla general, they use vanilla tactics; charging straight into the guns, even cavalry, which leads to a slaughter
-After I fight a battle, the game crashes afterwards; if I attacked, it crashes when I press end-turn, and if I'm defending, it crashes before the beginning of the next turn
Also, I was wondering, when will navies become part of the game again, and when will we see the tech tree?

The original game is installed, updated and run only if you have Steam running. There is no need to be on line (except to receive updates) but Steam must be running.

Tried that and still didn't work. Heck my ETW wouldn't work after installing ACW. Had to remove ACW and completely reinstall ETW via stream to get ETW working again. And reinstalling ETW via stream takes a few hours even if you have the disk.

It seems that you had the Steam CTD. If you get a CTD becuase you didn't start Steam manually then you have to reboot, else neither vanilla will work any more. This is a Steam silly either anti pirate system or a stability addition.

Spent a few minutes in Tech sub forum there are several useful tips even for reinstalling the game.

I've downloaded 3.1, and here are a few things I've noticed:

-In CS campaign, the Union seems to be recruiting vanilla generals

That is very weird because generals are disabled by 2 ways: scripting and db agent_spawnings table...

Hy Savathor,

I did what you suggested and now the game WORKS!!! I thank you again very much. Without your help, I'd have never been able to solve that problem.

You're very welcome, glad I could help .

On another note, I've been playing 3.1 campaign a little while now... like some others have said before me, when playing CSA, the Union computer seem to be recruiting vanilla generals still . Also, Mexico and a lot of other small countries in America keep declaring war on me (but maybe you haven't fixed this yet?). It's not that big of a deal, but it kinda ruins the mood ^^

Other than that things seem to be in shape for now.

I have these exact same problems.
