v2.4 has been released - please do NOT report any bugs if you are playing with previous versions

[Falco]

That looks like the usual place, yeah. Sometimes it just gets super weird, and I know this sounds very IT Crowd-y, but I've rebooted after having a lot of crashes and things like 'why aren't you writing this file?!' get resolved, because whatever ghost of a program was still holding on to that file and preventing it from writing are cleared out.

Again nope. Gonna reinstall everything and see what happens I guess...

Edit: I think I figured out what the problem was, it had to do with ReShade.

[Wulfburk]

Have you tried changing the shader setting in your config? It'll be in your medieval2.preferences.cfg under [video] - change it to a different number.

ah yeah i changed it to 2 and it fixed it, while also improved the graphics too!

[QuintusSertorius]

Obviously whatever shader we chose as default isn't the best one for your graphics card. Glad it's fixed either way.

Hi folks.
Had two crashes as Arevakoi 2.3. + captains & generals.txt

One around turn 30 on .cfg #error.
This one on turn 58 on .cfg #trace (uploaded).

Both types said very similar things...

Nothing obvious in there, that doesn't look like a trace-log though, just a long error-log. There's hardly anything else but error lines.

Did they repeat?

@ QS
?????
This is the line I have in the EB .cfg...and it's read only.

[log]
to = logs/M2TW.system.log.txt (even reset it to the original folder)
level = * trace

I went back to an earlier save a re-played a different path.
Just had another crash (uploaded new file)

Again, similar stuff.
If there is nothing pertinent, ignore it...

[QuintusSertorius]

OK, just seems a very brief log. Hmmm, there's a non-fatal error in the script I've just fixed, but other than that, nothing of moment.

22:46:31.892 [game.script] [error] Script execution error for <console_command>, at line 20097, in mods/ebii/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt:

22:46:35.653 [system.rpt] [error] Unspecified error. Please compress your error log in a zip format and upload it on the EBII technical help forum.

Definitely a crash, but ages between it and the last error, and it's a non-fatal error. Quite a while between it and the last trace, too.

[Fume]

I don't get colony points as the Areuakoi.

[myarta]

I forget if you start with some. Do you see the advisor warning you about them? If not, you get them every 32 turns, 1 point per League government (you start with one and can build one more in the province south of you).

[Voice of Treason]

@ QS
OK.
Thanks for checking and answering.

...I'll go back to my game and "making friends and influencing people" with a "Biglobular Dagger ancillary" gift

[Kull]

The "Voice of Treason", eh? So it's YOU who's been whispering in the ears of my lone raiding FMs!!?? Grrrr....I can think of something ELSE to do with that Biglobular Dagger!!

[kostic]

Very nice mod ! But i have a crash with Kimmerios. I have no savegame. I think it's bettween 10 and 20 turn.

[QuintusSertorius]

Did it repeat?

I might suggest the reason for your crash was the length of the session - over 3 hours without a restart. The game increases in size in memory the longer you go on, at the very least every 2 hours or so you should save, quit and then startup again.

[Falco]

So I'm about 99.9% sure I figured out why my saves/new campaign were causing crashes. My medieval2.preference cfg file keeps deleting the windowed and windows borderless entries I put in, so I put them back in and they worked again.

Set it to read-only in the Properties of the file once you've edited it.

Hello,

Taking a look to export_descr_buildings.txt file of my new 2.3 install i fount these lines ( number in front of each line is line number when opened and untouched with notepad++)

In same way than 3480 + 3481 you have these others.
3572 + 3573
4409 + 4410
4675 + 4676

.

In red the things i found "incongruous" with the previous and next lines in the "area". I think you need to check either the ownership, conditions... or maybe even remove the whole line?

First one is an error, but fortunately a harmless one since "all" includes f_carthage, and only f_carthage would ever have this building. Still, I've updated.

As an aside, telling me what building it's in is more useful than a line reference, the EDB changes all the time as I tweak and update things.

That second one, on the other hand is a genuine error which will mean KH doesn't get the units they're supposed to. That's in the kh3, which is identical in the kh4 which explains the third block. Same error has been copy+pasted in the kh7 and kh8.

Thanks for finding those. Note sometimes a switch of factions is intentional - have a look at what I've done in the Allied Governments and the Hellenistic Colony those lines originally came from as examples.

K i note that for next time.

I supposed that something like that had happened.
If i play KH and i change all those f_pontus, f_makedonia, f_epeiros, f_pergamon, cul_3, and i leave only f_Kh in each line will that solve it? i mean, all the rest of the line, conditions , numbers and such are ok?

Thanks for finding those.

You´re more than wellcome, glad to help. It is attonishing that you ( i think it is you who types all those lines) only did 4 or 5 of those errors in 31k lines of code. Kudos to you.

Note sometimes a switch of factions is intentional - have a look at what I've done in the Allied Governments and the Hellenistic Colony those lines originally came from as examples.

I did, i did, but i couldnt say i "discovered" any incongruous in those, it is just i got a bit lost in all those bunch of factions metioned in this line, then another group of factions in next line, then changing 2 lines later to another bunch of different ones i rather stayed quiet when i reached those lines.

Btw Quintus i saw f_lugia mentioned in 2 or 3 tribal_migration_sweboz buildings in the religion_level bonus 2 requires factions { f_sweboz, f_lugia, } and not region_religion rel_f 25 and event_counter ecReligionUpdate 1 lines but then only f_sweboz faction is "mentioned" in ownership of units those buildings provide. I dont know if f_lugia is missing in some of the lines ... i cant understand why it is mentioned in factions required but then not in any recruitment line. Is it something like the f_lugia can use some bonus but they ( those buildings) dont provide f_lugia any recruitment?

[QuintusSertorius]

The secret of not making many errors is the same as the source of them - I do a lot of copying. The EDB is also very forgiving and crashes on startup telling you exactly what's wrong.

Yes, sometimes a second faction can receive the benefits of something, even if they can't build it or get any recruitment from it.

For the former, note that Numidia can now benefit from Carthaginian Setter's Colonies in Africa, for example.
