1800 Beta II, glorious bugs.

[Bethencourt]

We know we are not perfect, but almost there.

So if you have something to say about it related to Beta II post it here. We will try to solve it or solve you.

[Bethencourt]

It was pointed out by a user that there was this bug in campaign list of armies. No matter the faction, the recruited by button generals have always the same name, half or so movement points and zero men in army, and they belive to be in France. Poor things!

Anyway, this bug is caused by the change made in generals and colonel campaign faction models and if no solution is found the change remains no matter the bug.

[Bethencourt]

I have detected that late uniform submod and late french campaign uniform submod are not changing the early period uniforms of the British guard cavalry nor the heavy dragons ones, this has been fixed for next release.

consistent crash during battles involving armed populace in northern Europe (happened everytime vs Danes and Prussians).

*update* it seems to not be the primary factor in the glitch, will continue checking

*update* seems to be related to off map mortars from a reinforcing army. will keep testing

[BazzBrother]

minor nation 'Empire' infantry and grenadiers only used first line to fire. Just needed to check "Can Skirmish" in their Unit_Stats_Land_table

*this was only an issue with a few of them such as sweden and some others.

[Bethencourt]

Hi! Bazz, thank you for your feedback.

[Vicentemarston]

Every time I click grand campaign it always crashes. Please help!

[Bethencourt]

Hi!

Please check if you have the campaign folders placed as intended.

[Snake Plissken]

Not sure if this is a bug or not. Playing as the US. I cannot recruit any line infantry or artillery. Is this by design, or the result of my settings (I, basically, turned all the options plus the US Loader on)

[Snake Plissken]

I'm still wary in the game, and, from what I've read, the US IS LIMITED FOR A GOOD WHILE.

[Bethencourt]

Hi! yes, at the beginning of the campaign you can only recruit artillery and regular infantry in the main cities, in the other cities you only recruit militia, specific one of the place. Later when you discover the technologies you can have buildings that allow you to recruit regular units and artillery everywhere. This resembles the lack of an extense regular army in the USA and the preparation to war that was previous to 1812 war.

[Snake Plissken]

No, I mean I cannot recruit regulars or artillery at all. In major cities or otherwise.

[Snake Plissken]

Ah, I think I figured it out. I was launching it from the Road to independence,m. That was the problem. Thanks

[Snake Plissken]

I am still unable to recruit any units outside the territories I start with. Is there some setting I need to select/deselect?

[Kereltis]

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04. I followed the instructions in the doc, double checked that everything was lower case but the game keeps crashing in launch. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04. I followed the instructions in the doc, double checked that everything was lower case but the game keeps crashing in launch. Any help would be appreciated.

I got it up and running. The problem was an extra space in the lines that were given in the instruction Doc. It was this:

mod "france launcher.pack";
mod "1800 beta ii .pack";

mod "1800models.pack";

mod "1800loc.pack"

Instead of this:


mod "france launcher.pack";
mod "1800 beta ii.pack";

mod "1800models.pack";
mod "1800loc.pack"

[Kereltis]

Really enjoyed playing the USA, even made it to the upgraded line infantry. However, it crashed on turn 127 and I couldn't go any further. Still, it's a brilliant mod that is worth the work to keep it going. Well done!

[yamahaguy97]

Hey,

I am able to launch the campaign and get to the map but within seconds it will crash to the desktop..any ideas?

thanks
