Please join together with all other small bug reports into an (un)official non-game breaking bug thread

First of all, thank you EB team for this amazing piece of work. I am looking forward to enjoying the great atmosphere and descriptions of this fantastic modification (that is many times better than near all big budget games I've played).

As is usual with such gargantuan works that are still in the process of creating (or aspiring the creation of) a final product, small mistakes do creep in. This is normal, this is human and in no way a critique. We, the users of this open beta, are here to help you find these little oversights in your strive towards perfection.

EB Mods, feel free to edit this post/thread at will.

For now I'll be posting whatever I come accross here.

Pritanoi campaign

1. Potential Spelling error in the Sentus (Road) description: site --> sight

2. Missing unit card of Pritanoi diplomat (although this might be on purpose or just not yet created and an oversight on my part):

3. Description of the Province Kantion mentions "Belgium", which is kind of anachronistic. Galia Belgica or the Belgae perhaps. Again, ignore if on purpose and in-line with other descriptions:

4. Pritanoi Allied Government still mentions Casse.

Captured, thanks

Anyone elses game settings not saving? Especially video? And how would one make it fullscreen windowed? Alt tab seems to freeze my game

Go to video settings, toggle advance settings (if not already) at the bottum there's box you can click to toggle widescreen. Don't forget to click apply settings though!

To make it fullscreen windowed, go in to your EB2 folder - Medieval II Total War\mods\EBII is my one (or will be once my download finishes) - and look for EBII.cfg. Open that file with notepad and search for these:
windowed = true
borderless_window = true

If both are on true you should be able to get the game running in windowed fullscreen. If not, change them from "false" to "true" (minus the quotation marks.) If, however, it keeps reverting back or something, you may need to right click the cfg file, select "Properties", and click the "Read-Only" box down the bottom.

edit: They should be under the "video" section of the file once opened in notepad. If borderless_window isn't present, just add it in there. Make sure to copy the cfg file and place it elsewhere before making any changes, though, just in case something messes up.

I found on M2TW, before I installed the mod (downloading now) that when I started a game, on quitting it reset all the edits I'd made to the config. I changed it to a read only file, not sure if that will sort it.

Don't know if this is a bug or intentional - but Ippone, a Carthaginian town, grew large enough to upgrade to a large town on turn 14. I was expecting some sort of governor's mansion - but the upgrade building is Wooden Wall? It's titled Wooden Wall and "provides" wall stuff, but the description seems like it's for a government building of some sort - it says nothing about fortifications!

That's how Medieval 2 works. In Medieval 2 the building you use to upgrade a settlement is a wall. It's not a bug, but it is a bit weird to get used to if you don't have much M2TW experience.

To recap the ones above:

- Pritanoi typos posted for fixing
- Pritanoi Diplomat: Uh-oh. And not just him - spies and probably assassins too are using the wrong portraits. Thanks for posting this. Going to take a while to figure out what's going on with that.
- Arevaci use Rome Banners: Known issue. Nobody available to make the correct one. Will get to it someday
- Starving FM: A triat issue - thought we fixed it. Guess not. Reported.
- Screen size: Lots of posts on this topic - see Petite Wolf #5 above.

Yeah, it's fair to say the Pritanoi diplomats are suffering from severe identity crises. This is the same diplomat as posted above a few turns later:

I can only dream of a spy that is this adept at disguises and disappearing.


Further potential oversight: "ships with cannons". Although the whole description is a WIP, so I'm probably overly pedantic here (and again, trying to help not aiming to point out mistakes. I freaking love the work you guys did. It's Herculanean!).

Cool, thanks! I feel like an idiot now.

Another "bug or intentional?" one - on the battle map, selected units aren't highlighted (with little green circles or however they ought to be highlighted). No banners, either. My units look exactly the same as the opponent's. Nice and cinematic and all, but makes battles confusing and difficult to control! EB2 is installed on top of a fresh, "out of the box" install of M2TW - I haven't messed with the settings other than to turn graphics quality up.

I'm not sure about that one. It might be a bug. Try checking through the sticky post about bugs they know about to see if they've mentioned it.

Field of Games: "should not see this report, please report this problem"

Areukoi (or however you spell it -- Latin Arevaci, Greek is lame!) use the incorrect banner (Roman) for their settlements/armies:

Couple so far in my Bactria game

-I get a new family member through marriage and he starts off in starving status
-regarding the 3000 payment to the Seleucids I have to make, 3000 should be automatically debited from my treasury when I click the tick, it however isn't and only worked the first time
-No year visible

Downloaded, installed, when clicking too many factions -> CTD.
When ingame extremely blurry, seems like extreme bloom.
Tried turning off anti aliasing, no avail.
It is unplayable, I can distinguish as taksashila some desert here and there, I can see a scroll telling me something, but I can't read the text by far. It's one big bloom/HDR fog.

Can't make screenshot for some reason either.
