In battles units randomly unresponsive and buttons in bottom right corner grayed over

[GeneralG]

As the title says. In a mod im playing ive encountered this weird bug can't find out anything about how to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated.

[Frunk]

Which mod(s) does this occur in?

[GeneralG]

Thanks for the quick reply. Its A German submod of westeros total war. Called westeros dunkle schwingen. Don't think it's on twc. That's why I posted here. Randomly found it on the Internet.

Thanks GeneralG. Very strange indeed. I don't recall ever hearing of such an error.

Are you familiar with the game's error logging system? It may give us some clues as to what's going on.

First, check that the mod is set up to log errors. Go to the mod's folder and open the configuration file (something like Configuration.cfg). Look for a section like the following:

[log]
to = logs/M2TW.system.log.txt
level = * trace

If it is there, check that folder (logs, in the main game folder) for that text file. Compress it (it will be a large file), upload it and post the link here.

If it's not there, add it, save, and close. Load the mod again and play a battle. Try and replicate the problem. Errors and warnings will be recorded in the text file, and that should hopefully tell us what's going on. Upload it here as above. Any questions; just ask.

Yes luckily i am familiar with all that stuff i know a bit about it all but not to much. It is a very weird bug. Here is the log file. Hopefully you can find out the problem because i can't. haha Thanks for the help so far as well.

Other then EDB errors (I am guessing from some fancy conditions) and missing trait descriptions there is nothing conclusive.

It would help to know if it is in a particular situation that the crash happens and if it can be repeated. There are literally thousands of lines calling up unit cards, so I am guessing it happens in connection with a battle?

[GeneralG]

It doesn't crash the game. Basically what happens is during battles when you click on a unit it and order it to do something like move or attack it will complete the first order but then become unresponsive after that, and the order buttons are grayed out and unusable. But this is random after a while it will fix itself then do it again. This is all during the same battle. Ive notessed it happens the most with cavalry and archers although it can happen to any units and even all units during the deployment phase. Meaning you can't change the starting positions untill you start the battle.

[Gigantus]

I am wondering if this may not be hardware related. Does it happen at all battles or more the larger the armies are? Is it more frequent during siege battles?

[GeneralG]

I don't think it's related to hardware. I haven't had it in any other mods like third age or stainless steel. Its totally random I haven't noticed more or less in any specific battle size or seige. Having said that I'll experiment and play a few other mods. Thanks for the help aswell. I'm determined to get to the bottom of this now. Haha

[Gigantus]

Does the mod have a custom battle AI file (config_ai_battle.txt)? If so, try a battle after removing it.

[GeneralG]

I'll give that a try when I have some time spare. I'll report back when I do.

[GeneralG]

I deleted the battle config_ai_battle file but it was still doing it. i also played a stainless steel battle and that mod is fine i think.

[Gigantus]

Other then a script based battle AI I wouldn't know what else might cause this mod specific behavior. Do you have this problem in the mod's custom battles?

[GeneralG]

Yes it does also affect custom battles. I think a few other users if the mod are suffering from the same problem aswell.

[Gigantus]

If the problems occur only with a handful of users then I would tend to think that it might have to do with some mod specific memory\hardware issue restrict to some restricted setups. Not sure if you can do anything about it.

[GeneralG]

Possibly, ill see if running it on lower settings does anything. It doesn't lag or anything so i assumed it wasn't a hardware issue. Thanks for the help anyway.
