Strange occurrence and General Seleucid Query

**Lord Blackfyre** · January 20, 2015, 11:29 AM

Firstly I would like to say how grateful I am for the incredible achievement that is DEI, I can honestly say I wouldnt be playing r2tw without it!

I am in a Seleucid campaign and i have just liberated Macedon, however I have lost the ability to navigate the campaign map using either the mouse. wasd keys or the number keys, i can double click on an area and thats it. Other than that I have full control, I can end turn, fight battles normally etc.
I tried loading a different campaign and everything is working normally.
I am more than happy to post a save file if someone tells me how?

On an unrelated note, has anybody looked at the balance of so many Seleucid buildings promoting persian culture? Is there a benifit (eastern units maybe) of having perian culture? or is it just something i should try and prevent.

Any help from any fantastic forum goes would be much appreciated

you could try:

in :

C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2

copy "save_games"
paste it on your desktop

now delete "Rome2" in the above link (not in program files !!!)
Start your game , (adjust again graphics) start new game, 1 turn then save
Exit game
go again in:

C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2
delete :
"save_games" from "Rome2"

copy "save_games" from desktop
paste it in "Rome2"

Hope it helps

hmmm so that deleted my preferences file which means I am now getting the Directx11 bug with freezes at launcher, anybody got a preferences script I could download? Save me from having to verify the files?

let steam verify rome
go in
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II\redist\directx
scroll down till you find
DXSETUP
run set up

you should be ok

if not
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II\redist
1-vcredist_x86-90.exe
2-vcredist_x86-100-sp1.exe
3-vcredist_x86-80-sp1.exe
click on repair for each one
(all of the above take less than 5 min )

preference scrip download:

Still no luck, all other campaigns are fine and same with new ones, but the Seleucid campaign wont let me move the camera at all, i've checked all the settings as far as I can tell its not any of them.
Very strange.
Thanks for the help Krixux

uh np m8

the save game might be corrupt you can try edit but is pain in the (censored)

**Mirozero** · January 20, 2015, 01:43 PM

Start game, load game. Alt+Tab to get onto desktop then just get back into game. I had almost same prob, for me it was the mouse not beeing useable. Otherwise u could try windowed mode. If it still not working u might need to reinstall.

Not sure, but i think i had the same problem today. I 'fixed' it with the editSF program following this advise; https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...zya-G2rIwm6a-w

At least i thought i fixed it did, but a few turns later and i'm getting weird crashes to the desktop during the end of the turn phase, so i fear the worst ;/

Yes, solution in the link is only needed and only possible solution for your bug buddy. I have no idea why CA did not fix it so far, I get it in every campaign since first month of Rome 2 release.

@ Lord Blakfire

I deliderately delete my rome2 and kept the saved games on desktop.

at 1st run didn't have any problems.
then by turn 10 (from save game) game freeze

thus: verified , repaired , run directx and then np no more

Your problem (imho ) is save game related.

...hm

any progress ?

(post your save game , and I'll look at it)

I had this problem playing as iceni on 2 different walkthroughs. Im confident this isn't a problem with the mod as this issue occurred playing vanilla.

It's a pain, but I attributed it to a corrupt save.

And it is not DeI related (imho ) !!!

Out of interest, does anyone also have an answer to his seleucid/persian culture query?

That's existed since the Seleucids were first made playable in vanilla. It's not a bug, but meant to represent the mixed cultural influences of the Seleucid state (and I guess balance those buildings a little). Still, seems like someone asks about it every other day.

**Lord Blackfyre** · January 21, 2015, 05:30 PM

Thanks for all the help, as much as it pains me to abandon an awesome campaign I'm not confident enough to go messing with files (beyond med 2 text editing haha)

In over a year of rome 2 it has only happened the one time so i'm just going to hope i never see it again.

RE: Persian Culture, maybe i'm only noticing it now that culture and pubic order are so important and need to be micro managed. I do think its odd that for the Seleucids to access Citizen/Agema/Hellenic Cats that they need persian culture, no other faction in the game (to my knowledge) has such a handicap on their barracks line of buldings.

I actually think its cool that they have a mixed culture though, my original question was do they get any benefits from it or is it just a handicap they have to deal with?

I don't think there are any benefits aside from the building effects themselves. And yeah, it's true that no other faction has that kind of handicap. Maybe we could add more...
