So, I tried everything, including downloading again, extracting again etc. but whatever I do I get a CTD every time I try and start it... please help anyone?

You also try this???

"For Windows10 users, install the game and mods outside the Program Files folder (especially for Steam users) as administrator and on Windows7 compatibility mod."

Hi everyone !

I have the same problem as Antonius and I've done everything recommended ! Yet it doesn't work with the 0.96 version, but there was no problem with the 0.95 one. Maybe it's a problem with merging the data folder (while with 0.95 there was an installer).
I'm so sad : I really liked this mod and I was expecting the new release hoping there wouldn't be any problem...

[Gigantus]

Use a clean SS install and then use 0.97 - works just fine.

Advice used for the Sicilian Vespers:

A week ago I was able to download all three files and to run the game on Win10, 64bit. I've had a hard time but I'd found the problem after a while. During the installation some of the files are made "Read only" (perhaps by the installer). I think the next installer is unable to over those files with the newer ones but it doesn't tell it to the user. To fix it, I've removed this attribute after each installation, ie three times (you can do it by right-clicking on the whole folder and unticking the "Read only" attribute).

[Gigantus]

The installer doesn't 'make' the files read-only. For some reason the developer of the mod has set them so before compiling the installer (or compressing the folder), most likely unintentionally.

Normally if you right click a folder and look at it's property you will see that the 'read-only' box has a square in it. Removing it and clicking 'apply' brings up the 'do it for all files and folders?' dialogue which then makes sure all files and folders have possible read-only attributes removed.
That's my second step before compiling an installation, right after running a script to make sure all files and folders are in small caps (for Mac users).

[othello7]

For an unknow reason the read-only attribute doesn't stay unticked (when I look at the properties after having unticked this attribute once it is anew ticked). I don't understand what happens.
Are you creating an installer for SSHIP (like in 0.92 version : this worked perfectly) Gigantus ?

Thanks for your time !

[Gigantus]

The folder property will always revert to the square even after you have run the 'read-only' measure I described - the individual files however will stay unticked which is the important thing.

I won't be making an installer for SSHIP: it's still under development with numerous small issues to be fixed (see my quick error report). The installation of SSHIP is also fairly straight forward and does not require an automatic registry look up (hallmark of my installers), maybe this 'how to' could be added to the instructions:

1. right click the Stainless Steel launcher desktop icon and choose 'open file location'
2. place the SSHIP Zip file into that directory
3. right click the SSHIP Zip file and choose '[application name like 7zip or WinRAR]\extract here'

[othello7]

It works !
Thank you Gigantus !

I think the Faltering Courage trait might be broken - I am getting this after successful battles where the General actively fought.

This is the relevant part of the code. I suspect you're fighting weaker enemies and the two triggers fire.

Indeed, there's a minor error : it should be 3 not 2 - this shows how much attentive the code should be. Plus given this insights, it's better to have a lower cap.

I'll recode it, and perhaps put it here.

CTD after my last FM was killed (so I lost the campaign), I got others but that one was pretty underwhelming.

(Is an attachment ok, or should I have used the spoiler tags thing?)

[Jurand of Cracow]

upload a save, pls :-)

I usually use a longer log to detect the problems, but to save time the install is configurated with a shorter one.

I got two levels of the Vanquisher trait from one battle, presumably because I was attacking a city with a reinforcing army outside it so there were two armies involved. The army in the city only had one unit though.

Was that a siege battle in Kalmar?

My guess - a 'BecomesFactionLeader' trait caused the crash.

Thanks for reporting, I'll check the points. I don't think the number of armies involved matters, it's rather was a special situation when a few triggers fired at one time. I'll check.

I've also noticed Kalmar in the log. I'll check conditions for BFL, thanks Gigantus!

Couldn't add as an attachment (invalid file)
So I uploaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/40ghnp...nmark.sav/file

I selected the King; attacked the army to his south in a night battle; he was killed. I got the CTD when his character died in the campaign map.

Nope, that was a while ago. I don't really understand the logs, sorry.

[Gigantus]

If you want to attach an uncommon file (like the sav) then simply zip it first and then attach.

[TehBloxx4h]

Need help with constant crashing! Usually it happens during end of turn, when my turn is about to start again. Though in the instance of this screenshot, I actually made it past that (only to crash immediately after closing the first pop-up notification)

It seems the Reemergence script is still making problems. This time it was a rebellion in Tbilisi.

Hey, I'm playing was Norman England and had a look at the Pope and he had this Trait.

"SHOULD NOT BE VISIBLE: REPORT TO DEV TEAM IF YOU EVER SEE THIS!!!"

Well, what should I do?
