REPORT TATW 3.2 Bugs & Issues (Read 1st post before posting, this thread is not for fixing bugs and issues, just for reporting them!)

Hi. I think I'm having the bug where the game crashes to desktop during battles where the enemy has reinforcements. My last two battles with enemy reinforcements CTD about the 1-2 minute mark every time I would try them. Both battles took place within the Misty Mountains, in case that means something.

I'm patched to 3.2 and have no sub-mods. I'm around turn 55-60 playing as Eriador (my first campaign).

Hi there and welcome to TWC forums!

Yes, there is a bug with reinforcements, you can find a fix for it here ( you have to start a new campaign after applying this fix ) and there are some instructions for installation here.

If it doesn`t work, open up your own thread so we can help you out ( use the NEW TOPIC button ).

This thread is just for reporting bugs and issues, not solving them, it is easier that way for the TATW Developers.

Good luck with installation!

Hi, I'm new here. Me and my friend have installed MTWII Kingdoms 1.04 and then apply the TATW mod with 3.2 patch, and both have the same problems:
Custom battles or historical battles don't start, it say MTW encountered an a specific error and we can start only the campaign.
In other we can't play together in lan using hamachi because when we go in lobby we can't find each other. Anyone can help us?

Have a look at this thread:

See the battle crash section. Also, if you have Windows 7/8 or Vista be sure to disable UAC first. (also in the thread linked to above)

[Stermy92]

Thank you StealthFox, I resolve the battle crash problem! Any idea for resolve problems with online battle in lan with hamachi, or any solution to play online with a friend in TATW.

Hello! When using a ram, the Dwarves don't want to push. They just kinda stand there and the ram moves by itself. Please see screenshots:

In descr_strat.txt...

resource	grain,		285,	266 ;dale
resource	grain,		285,	266 ;esgaroth

Judging by the comments Dale and Esgaroth should have one grain each but the same tile is used for both (Dale's). Esgaroth doesn't have any grain. Maybe that's how it should be and the comment is wrong.

Also, apparently "Mumakil" is the plural name, not "Mumakils". Not sure what the singular is, "Mumak" perhaps.

Pretty minor bugs.

Hello Community,

I have a problem with Gondor Campaign. I haven't downloaded any submods or stuff like that, i'm playing the 3.2 version with no add-ons. Everything works well so far, except for the Cair Andros battle. I'm defending with 2 Gondor militia and 2 Archer militia, while the enemy Mordor is besieging with different troops (usually Morannon Guards). Every time i try to launch a counter-attack, they flee toward the city and the game crashes, or sometimes they flee toward the river and again the game crashes. So i can't do nothing except waiting for them to attack, while my troops (like it have to be) decrease.
Every other battle so far works well, so this makes me think that it is a specific map problem. But i don't know what to do.

P.S. I am sorry for my mistakes, i'm italian so there might be some grammar errors.

There is a known bug wth Cair Andros , sometimes it crashes. What you have to do is either Auto-resolve that battle only, or try to fight it with different tactics.

My tactics is usually run my archers out when they run to the river then try to kill them all off as quickly as possible. Dont' give them a chance to move around and crash the game.

Thanks, i'm glad it was not my computer/system! I too run out with the archers, but i'm never fast enough.

Fellowship Campaign, two bugs.

This one could just be a random glitch. Took Gimli to do the Dain's Hall quest. Waited a couple of turns, Dain's army turned up, marched off to Dain's Hall. Nothing to attack there. Settlement was owned by Silvan Elves (allies) and no evil army in the area except some Rebels a short distance away. Decided to attack Rebels, got message that need to clear my troops out of Dain's Hall (guess this is due to it simply looking for a victory in the area). So looks like whatever army i should have been attacking never appeared, or Dain's Hall was never properly taken by an enemy. Not sure if relevant, have modded the campaign to allow playing it in medium difficulty.... although would be surprised if this could affect scripted events.

Second (and i may have a save not too far before this), with Frodo and the Ilthien Rangers quest being attacked by the Mumakils. Tried a dozen times, couldn't get the damn things to run amok (fire or regular arrows)... forums no help, search results just kept saying Pelargir Marines or Siege Units, neither of which were available to me. Feeling a little frustrated by this, but decided there must be a way, tried to use terrain to my advantage, hiding in trees from the Mumakils. Now, i can't be 100% certain about this, but it happened multiple times, game crashed it seemed as soon as the Mumakils tried to enter the trees. When i left my units in the open it never happened, only when i hid in the trees. Anyway, in the end, i gave up on that battle, spawned in half a dozen fully upgraded Mumakils for the battle and let them steamroller the enemy (then disbanded after the battle). Still no idea how i should have won that battle without cheating.

Hi there!

Disable daylight saving settings, if u have Windows 7, 8 or Vista, go to Control Panel, Clock, Date and Time, Change the time zone, Change time zone, uncheck `Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Savings time`.

If u have Windows XP, simply double click the “clock” time display in the lower right of the windows task bar. In the “Date and Time Properties” dialog box click on the “Time Zone” tab. Below the map uncheck the box labeled “Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving time.”

This usually makes it to work.

Can anyone help me here. I can download and play away on 3.0 but once I download 3.1 or 3.2 the game no longer works and I get the unspecified error message. Does the 3.1 or 3.2 patches make a.big improvement and therefore try and get the errors sorted or should I be just happy to play away on 3.0

[Ngugi]

I assume you re-downloaded 3.1 and 3.2 and tested that, as suggested?

Hi,

I have a problem with TATW. I saw in this post is it a recurent issue i : "The game crashes before the first loading screens occurs (Reason: Installation was done in the wrong folder or some files (4 in total) of TATW 3.2 havn't been installed)"
I install TATW and i success it but when I try to reinstall it, I was confront to that issue.
So i try to reinstall again : don't work

Sorry for my bad english i'm french

[StealthFox]

Hi tomatetcube.

Have a look at this thread to make sure you installed correctly:

Then, if you still need help please open a new thread, as this isn't the right place to ask for installation help.

This thread is for vanilla TATW only. Please ask for help in the relevant submod thread.

[cobyadolfo]

Please...

1. report only bugs and issues if you have already installed the 3.2 Patch
   
2. give some information about the circumstances of the problem and if possible, post a picture
3. upload your last save-game if you have experienced a crash in a battle or campaign
4. only report bugs if you have no sub-mods installed
