CAE Bugs&CTDs Thread

**Eranshahr** · July 19, 2007, 12:48 PM

It might be something with th other mod that is making this one unaviable.

Do you have the MTW 1.2 patch?

if not it is the mixing of mods that is causing it, as far as I know.

**Scamander** · July 19, 2007, 01:01 PM

The other mod also requires the M2TW 1.2 patch. I thought the two mods might be effecting each other even though they install into their own folders. "Lands to Conquer" is easy to uninstall: one click and it is gone. I tried this, but "Clouds Across Europe" still wouldn't play. If the one mod was effected by the other, maybe the damage has been done and the uninstall of "Lands to Conquer" is too little too late.

I've tried uninstalling both mods and then reinstalling "Clouds across Europe" but to no avail. The mod CTDs a few seconds after the first splash screen begins. The other mod will works without any problems. Very curious. Ideas?

**Eranshahr** · July 19, 2007, 04:59 PM

It is not that, the thing is, files are still left from the LTC mod, that's why CAE won't work. maybe you should search your computer for all LTC files left.

I did a fresh install, as I wasn't sure I would find all the LTC files I needed to. The game is now working. I've gone with the Mongols as playable option and the West lies before me. Thank you

Now, does CAE operate from a mod switch? If so, shouldn't it have worked without the complete evisceration of the LTC files? If I try and install LTC on top of what I have now, should it work?

Thanks

**Eranshahr** · July 20, 2007, 04:12 PM

CAE should work, but maybe with some CTD's and the same for LTC, the thing is all mods work like this, they leave some files left when they are uninstalled.

But give a try, it won't harm your computer exactly

Salve!

I got problems with the CAE (and that's a torture, because it's a brilliant mod I want to play it).

I've tried it a lot of times but always CTD. Don't know what happens because I have spanish vanilla installation + patch 1.2 + CAE and no other MODS installed.
Playing with France, the CTD happens every 10 minutes, more or less.
With the Teuton Order, every 2 minutes.

Please, help! And thanks for all the "bug work" both of you are doing since it has been released, as well as for making the mod

Hi!
At First Sorry for the bad English =( !
I like this Mod very well, so I tried to get It started,
but there are Still some problems with it and I haven't found
some answers here in the forum, yet!

Greetz Fabian

The Installing Part of the Game:
_______________________

- I've installed the Medieval 2 standart game v. 1.0 (german version!)
- After then I've Installed the patch 1.2 (not 1.21!!!)
- Then I installed the version of CAE 1.2 a
(witch was downloaded at twcenter.net)

Problems with the Campaign:
_______________________

- If I take any Faction of the Game it will crashed in the Campaign after I
clicked next round!

- I tried it with every Faction! When France Picture cames after clicking
"next round" it will crash! But not the whole game, just nothing on the
Campaign map hapeens and its loading till death =( when I click ESC on
my Keybourd it will goes back to the menu!

- By playing with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania perhaps in the First round i
clicked the Diplomacy the whole game crashes to Destop and says thats
there is an mistake what couldn't be found!

Everything without the Campaign works there just some question left

- What happens to the Atzteks?

- Are there any new Screens without the one saying the Mod title?

Hello everyone the reason I've been missing for 3 days is that I had a very frustrating and despicable internet connection problem.Goddamn modem just gave out,and it took much time to spot the problem,first I had to call the service if the problem was connection related or not...

Just bought a new modem.This had been really unfortunate because it delayed the release of v1.3... Now as for the questions.

Caradryan If you are using any version other than the English version copy and paste the sound files to your cloudsacrosseurope sound folder.

Since you are using the german version the same goes for you Punckrocka you should copy and paste the content of your sound folder to the cloudsacrosseurope mod sound folder...

I am also adding in the bat file of the mod a command to the v1.3 so that by pasting here the system.log I'll be able to sort out the CTD's reason and will be able to help more effectively.

-What do you mean by what happens to the Azteks? The Aztecs are just in the game,haven't taken them out.

-For now there aren't any new screens.

**caradryan555** · July 24, 2007, 05:38 AM

Thanks a lot, Zephrelial. As soon as I can I'll try it at home. For now mi city is now at the middle-age again, 'cause a malfunction in the local power station blown up all the electric line and no electric stuff work at all.
No CAE those days, a lil' more patience needed.

Thanks again.

**Quincey** · July 24, 2007, 08:55 AM

Hello guys!

I've found this mod really interesting so I decided to try it...

I made a clean install of MTW2, Italian version.
Installed 1.2 patch
Installed CAE 1.2, this is the only mod I have.

I'm playing with Moors in h/vh short campaign.
I had no problem with any part of the game and I was enjoying the mod till in 1112 AC I found my first princess in Cordoba... Zahra the Affectionate.... and the game crashes everytime I click on her.

Some problem with Islamic princess or something related to the Language version?:hmmm:

Your problem is the sound incompatibility as well.You are using the Italian version so copy and paste the content of your vanilla sound files to the mod's sound folder...

location to copy your own sound files:

Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\CloudsAcrossEurope\data\sounds

**peng_li** · July 24, 2007, 08:42 PM

Everything works great except anytime I try to play a battle with Khwarezm the game exits and I receive the following error: "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit."

I tried playing as the Teutonic Order and had no problems fighting battles so the problem seems limited to the Khwarezm faction.

I'm running M2TW with the 1.2 patch and I just installed CAE 1.2 today.

I tried searching through but didn't see any solutions posted, I apologize if I missed anything.

I appreciate any help and/or suggestions.

Thanks!

hi.
you already talked about this, and i read your replyes to azaadegaan, and looks like you fixed the problem with Khwarezm faction, but im still having the same problem. The game freezes after couple of turns. freezes everytime on the 3rd turn, on the France Fraction on top after i press Next Turn.

Im have put a fresh copy of english version of MTW2------>official patch v1.2 from the official website-----> installed the newest version of Clouds Across Europe 1.2 (84.86 MB)

(im using nocd key for MTW2v1.2 from the game copy world, but the game itself without CAE1.2 works great. And im also using Vista dunno if thats the problem)

plz help I'm a proud citizen of the great city of Khwarezm(uzbekistan) and REALLY wanna play with them... TY.

Thx Zeph, problem solved

..... I'm not experiencing other problems atm

**Cynical** · July 27, 2007, 12:17 PM

I downloaded M2TW over steam is there any way to get CAE (or other mods for that matter) to run for this? My installation files are in a different place then for every one else (no SEGA folder). Ive tried installing it with the standard path but when i click the icon nothing happens. I have also tried putting it into the folder for M2TW under steam apps but i always get the application error Failed to find Steam. Plz Help!

Keep in mind that talking about crack is not allowed here in TWC.I've been informed before by several CAE players use the regular cracked exe and not the "no-cd version crack" use the other version and you'll be okay.

Hmm.. why not creating a SEGA folder yourself within the Programfiles folder..

Create new folder and name it SEGA in capital letters.Then install the game there.

**Scamander** · July 30, 2007, 10:02 PM

How does one add back in to CAE the "movies" of assassins, spies performing their craft etc.? At present, the only movies I see are when Crusades are called.

**dior1985** · July 31, 2007, 07:12 PM

yes

there.

ya thx, i fixed that problem, but now i have another one.... half of the text is missing in the game. For example in the beginning, i start with England, click on London, on the top where it says London-"blank" (Capital is missing) all of the information of the city or the general.

everything is fine before installing CAE v1.2
first installing english version, official update 1.2, then isntalling CAE v1.2

**Levko** · August 02, 2007, 03:35 AM

Hi Zep. First, i think the mod is great. The idea,the factions. I liked it a loot. But, i'm not gonna play it. Just because the crashes to desktop. I've read all 11 pages of this thread.I've reinstalled the game couple of times. All patches.Everything is perfect. But,it keeps crashing.
One thing. Before the crash, everytime, the icons in the game(in the city menu for example),become invisible or so. And then im pressing next turn, and thats it. Maybe it will give u a clue. And i've tried to play with Khwarezm and some more. Same result. And i have original game. No cracks and staff.
Thanks a lot.
