NTW3 v7.5 mod & v7.6 patch updates & reports

[NicolazDamian]

Napoleon's campaigns crash on the 1805 option, and work on the other options ( Regimental battles, Classic battles etc) but no units can be recruited and no info is shown for cities.
Napoleon's Campaigns were never included in our NTW3 SP Campaign mods, only the 1805 main campaign was done ~Lord Davn


The NTW3 v7.5 mod was released in October and updated on December 17th with the v7.6 patch

The french conscripts do not have anything on their feet. Why is this? I know that they are conscripts but surly they most have had something on their feet

They ran out of shoes ~Lord Davn

[TheRomanRuler]

I am sure in winter they had something on their foot, but in summer lot of French conscripts actually did not wear shoes. Mediterranean is a warm place, lot of the time you don`t need to wear shoes. Funny actually, in sandy deserts or cold north you need to wear shoes or you burn or freeze your feet, but in summer south of France you might be just fine without them. If your army lacks resources, it can be good idea to tell your men to take off their shoes and only use them if it is too cold/hot/otherwise necessary. Saves you from having to fix the shoes or buy new ones. That money is far better spent of giving those people shoes who don´t have any, or buying muskets to those who don`t have them.

okay, one other thing is that there is almost no price differens between normal line infantry and conscript so there is not any reason to use them

[O-NO]

As others I also have experienced my share of CTD during battles (I only play custom battles v the computer) but I really like this mod and refuse to give up on it.

I have tried all the suggested graphic settings but still got the CTD so continued to play with everything on Ultra.

I had a little success making Napoleon 'High Priority' in process manager also turning off 'Data Execution Prevention' but would still eventually get a CTD.

Recently I looked to see if the onboard sound was a problem so disabled the 'Realtek' onboard sound and enabled Nvidia sound from the graphic card to monitor speakers.......not so good sound but a week went by without a single CTD! This was mainly playing as Prussia v France.

I then tried playing as Polska v France but as soon as a battle was about start I got an immediate CTD on various maps. The culprit this time appears to be two units in the Polska army (Legia Nadwislanska and Pulk Piechoty)......by not including them I was able to complete a battle, putting them both or either back in resulted in CTD,

Anyone else experienced CTD playing as Polska?

Hello everybody, I start my message with my prayer to forgive my mistakes first on my language, if I have a wrong section where I post my request for help and for any other mistake that unwares I could commit.
While waiting to be able to play the new version 7.5 of this great mod I'm playing at version 7.2 and apart from some rare ctd solved by reloading a few previous rounds it all went well to have fun, until I had a battle with a French Army inside a unit of "mamelouks de la garde" that when attacked or when she attacks brings the game to a ctd.
I did some tests and I noticed that the same unit in the classic battle has only melee and it does not create any problems, and the difference is that the mamelouks de la garde in the campaign have the rifles and can open the fire.
In a campaign trial with france I found that the cause of the problem is really the rifles causing the ctd that happens when they open the fire. the same battle by disabling the automatic fire button using them only melee everything is ok but if I play with coalition I can not order AI to do that.
Can you solve this problem? Do you have any idea why it should happen?
Can I remove the unit from the recruiting list to baypass the problems preventing AI from having it?
thank you for your attention and patience by attending your answers.

Hi, I noticed when playing SPC in 7.5 that some textures are bugged, for example I had Joachim Murat look like some Ottoman Generals uniform but in blue(look likes Janissary outfit but in blue), same uniform problem for 2 Baden French units you start with as well. Had this same texture problem when playing as Prussia(same Janissary looking outfit in blue with one or couple of units). Also noticed that you don't have Spain battle flags(no standard bearers) implemented yet with campaign or online HB's. Is there anyone else who can confirm their noticing these bugs or missing features?

[Lord Davn]

Thank you for the reports, we are working to correct the uniform issues and other problems with the v75 SP Campaign and will release a beta patch shortly.

Good to hear Lord Davn, waiting patiently for beta patch.
P.S. French cuirassiers (heavy cav) have that texture bug too.

Hi guys, I'm currently frustrated that my game is completey silent no sound
it only have sound in cutsence and intro

[Hirpinium]

The Bavarian grenadiers in use at the French Army and the volteggiatori of the Kingdom of Italy have that texture bug too.
I do not know how much this information is useful to the team at work on the patch if not, let me know and this will be my last post about it.
thanks for your work.

Hello everyone!

I recently persuaded a friend to download NTW3 (7.5) and we tried to play together. When he tried to join me or vice versa it would give an error along the lines of "No response from host".

Despite this, I am able to play without any issues on the LAN with my brother.

I was wondering whether I am missing a necessary step to play online or whether this is simply a problem of inproper installation... I would be very grateful for some help!

[Anubis88]

Indeed there are a lot of annoying texture bugs. Hopefully they get fixed soon, it's not really playable when your charging cuirassers don't have, well, a cuirass

[warboy]

Spanish faction has many texture bugs, look like ottoman janissaries in yellow for skirmishers, all line units have texture bug with tricorne hat.

[Konrad Poohs Dancing Teeth]

With the Spanish faction pretty much all of the units that use tricorn hats have texture bugs, and their clothing is a broken patchwork of uniforms. The only regiment from Spain that I have seen to be not broken, is the Grenadiers with the tall fur shakos.

[Lord Davn]

With the Spanish faction pretty much all of the units that use bi-corn hats have texture bugs

We've spent considerable time working on the v76 patch (for NTW3 v75 mod) identifying uniform bugs. There are over 806 units in the v75 spc mod.

I've just reinstalled this mod, missed the smell of cordite....Not sure if this is a bug or not.. but i noticed that as the battle wears on the muskets sounds seem to merge sync somewhat, becomes less randomized sounds, like in a strange beat it sounds very odd... has anyone else noticed this?

After some campaign testing on NTW3 7.6 here are my findings on bugs and missing features so far:

Bugs
1: Random crashes most notably during battles (settings are turned way down) and on campaign map during A.I. movements after end of turn usually around turn 25.
2: When you right click on Conscription technology game has a delay loading description, rest of techs are fine

Missing features/mistakes
1: Batavian Republic has a unit of French Line Veterans to start campaign
2: For some reason Naples can't build college or secret society at Potenza

[Lord Davn]

After some campaign testing on NTW3 7.6 here are my findings on bugs and missing features so far

Bugs: Our veteran tester Vilain de Bourg-en-Bresse played over 40 turns with few crashes in our v76 beta patch. The SP Campaign game does run smoother on older PC's with a 32 bit OS, (what CA originally designed it to run on back in 2010). I may get time to play a long campaign on my old 32 bit PC over the holiday weekend.

Missing features/mistakes:
1.) The French had garrison units in Utrecht (US Army Combined Arms Research Library files): http://usacac.army.mil/CAC2/CGSC/CAR...ger/805GAA.pdf
Batavian Republic units also crossed the Rhine with Napoleon at start of ~War of the Third Coalitions (Sept. 1805): ttp://usacac.army.mil/CAC2/CGSC/CARL/nafziger/805IAE.pdf
2.) That is odd, for some reason the Education & Secret buildings are not available there

[warboy]

Bugs: I run a 64bit and pretty much all PC's these days are 64bit, so maybe that's a problem for me, I have a gtx670 2GB/i7 3770K with 32gb ram and will be upgrading to a GTX1070 8gb next year but keeping the processor and motherboard as there compatible with new pascal cards, hopefully that will help because the crash is always napoleon_1754_crash_2017_12_19T23_46_40C0.mdmp which is virtual memory issue if I'm not mistaken.

I use NTW3_40unit UI and deployment zones(both movie files) with 40 unit armies, maybe this is the problem. I use the recommended Lordz graphic settings for low-mid end PC's
I will keep reporting my findings, thanks Davn
