CTD's & Bugs Report

[servent9]

Firstly, bribe isn't always an option with diplomacy, so don't be too bothered when the option isn't there. As for CTD's when bribing, I had none. I was able to bribe some officials and some armies, but not all of course. When I tried bribing Alexandria, they refused of course but there was no CTD, so I don't really know what is going on there. Perhaps a faulty file caused with an incomplete download possibly.

ok i actually not that bothered

just report about these encounters.

but im fine to not bribe some cities or options.

about bribe alexandria,,, mine was same before i reduce units upkeep+recruitment costs for moreeeee armies. they refuse to be bribe

anyway thanks for you work and reply

without bug or not i will play and enjoy

Great, thanks for that. As for the recruitment of legionaries in Carnuntum, which campaign(s) have you found this in?

EDIT: I have checked the edb for the recruitment of legionaries in Carnuntum and it stipulates the following:

recruit "western legionary lanciariiC2" 1 requires factions { empire_west, empire_west_rebels, empire_east_rebels, empire_east, } and hidden_resource legion and hidden_resource dalmatia and hidden_resource quadi and hidden_resource iuthungi and resource iron

recruit "western legionaryC2" 1 requires factions { empire_west, empire_west_rebels, empire_east_rebels, empire_east, } and hidden_resource legion and hidden_resource dalmatia and hidden_resource quadi and hidden_resource iuthungi and resource iron

These are based on the resources allocated to the city being; textiles, iron, slaves, roman, dalmatia, quadi, iuthungi, auxiliary, legion

So you can see that the resources required to recruit the units equates to the resources allocated to the city. I have one solution to the problem is to delete the map.rwm file again and reload the game.

Nope no luck with deleting map.rwm file. I have this problem in all the campaigns, but I think that I found where lies the problem. If somebody else could confirm the same issue it would be great. Looking at the descr.regions file it seems to me that there is some mixup with Virunum which is in Noricum and Carnuntum which is in Pannonia I think it should be the other way around.
This is from descr.regions file 293 campaign:

Hi,

please find the file attached :-)

Regading Carnuntum, even when I construct Rudimenta Castra Stativa Legio Romanvm I can't recruit legionaries. I looked into export_descr_buildings file and it looks that one of the western legionary recruitment lines is missing hidden resource pannonia.

Nope no luck with deleting map.rwm file. I have this problem in all the campaigns, but I think that I found where lies the problem. If somebody else could confirm the same issue it would be great.

In 260 campaign I can't recruit legionaries there either, that's because a required resource seems to be missing in the map.

As for the confusion between Virunum and Carnuntum, the names you see in the campaign map are accurate. They are swapped in descr_regions but it has no influence in-game, indeed if you use any cheat with the name you see it works in that city (for example if you type add_population 1 Virunum, it will work in the city called Virunum in the map, even if it's called Carnuntum in descr_regions). The choice to just edit the displayed name instead of correcting it from the root was done not to take and edit a whole series of files, scripts, etc.

[Spartan 666]

Lucky you... I really had a hard time trying to get past after battle ctds but I still get them most of the times

aww.. i know that feeling.

but change rome-bi.exe's memory to 4gb with cff might help you if you didnt.

[Spartan 666]

Is that really the only tweak you did? No messing around with cpu affinity, graphic options and so on?

Could you please explain in a bit more detail?

Every time i try to change down the graphic options (at the max level the game lag) the battle ctd during loading, ever. i'm forced to play with max graphic options donno why and if i try to change them in battle the game crash loading the new options. o used the 4gb patch too but with no results.

EDIT SOLVED
Using the 4 gb patch also on BI.exe the game work and dont lag, previously i had used it only on RO.exe

With RO.exe...that do you mean?

Early i used the 4gb patch only on the restitutor orbis exe, and it didnt work, the game ctd.
when i used the 4gb patch on the barbarian invasion exe too, not only on the IB-RO.EXE, it worked fine.
For make it work i had to use the 4gb patch both on ib-ro.exe and on the vanilla BI.exe icon in RTW folder. On each one

[Spartan 666]

Well there is no IB-RO.exe, that's just a link. I tried applying it to the link, and the patch was actually applied to the exe, so I think your ctd was random.

[julianus heraclius]

Just wondering if the 4g exe patch makes a diiference with unlimited men on the battlefield and after battle CTDs?

yeah i think 4gb patch works well than ever before.
unless there are texture or model? script problems. (hmm...)

it's a old game.
so it's have own limitation.
