I'm about to throw my computer out the window so help me god. I have yet to make it past turn 20 in my French European campaign due to ctd's in about 9/10 battles. I have restarted the campaign, tried reloading the battles multiple times, tried drastically lowering my graphic settings, all to no avail. N:TW seems fun for the ten minutes at a time I can play, so any help would be appreciated.
My specs are: -AMD Phenom 9750 Quad-core processor-3.25 GB RAM-NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO all on WIndows Vista I dunno what else to put.

Bugs I noticed so far;
1) Italian camp. Austria Armed Citizens have ETW soldier as officer
2. Egypt camp. Turkish general (some with a special name) is all ETW line soldiers

In SP/MP battle lobby you cant get right click info panel on the extra 15 units. In game it work but in the lobby it doesn't. But only for extra units.

[Zetto]

Another absolutely stupid, idiotic bug, carried over from ETW. Sometimes, regular troops swap numbers with artillery after a battle played in the field, so arty appears like 120-strong and troops are down to 16 or something. In ETW, at least you could use 120 man arty as a large unit (actually all 120 peeps showed up on the field in subsequent battles) but here the game just kills extra men on arties when I try to use them in battle but DOES NOT return them to the original unit. WTF? When will they fix this, this bug was in the game for over a YEAR now! Just how stupid are people who made this game?

[R.G.S.]

Probably already mentioned but the floating flags (which I really like the design of now btw, far superior to Empire) get easily broken during the battles with all icons (experience, unit type etc) getting on top of each other and losing their positioning. Doesn't happen with all units at once, just hear and there.

Firstly: There is also the bugs thread in the NTW General Discussion area: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=335192
Secondly: Isishron, you might want to change your OP a little bit. I don't think we can post buses here.

Units getting fatigued when kneeling behind walls

AI units disappearing randomly then reappearing

Picture in picture feature causing system slow down even when turned off

New ATI drivers cuasing slow downs when cannons fire and explosions go off

[Gorrrrrn]

Battle AI:
1) Suicidal enemy generals who march way ahead of their troops and get shot before battle proper commences. (esp re-inforcement armies)
2) Friendly fire from artillery. Need to stop firing or change targets if friendly forces in the way.
Also need firing arc of 90deg, (45deg to left and right) to prevent adjoining batteries slaughtering each other on fire at will.
(No CTDS though so far!)

[Beggar]

Don't know if it has been mentioned... but Fire and Advance seems to cause melee bug according to tests I made: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...30#post6873230

[James Cook]

It seems like the Picture in Picture is bugged, every time I launching/loading the game or watching a replay I have
to disable it ones more...

even though that I have disabelet in the main option menu.
any one else is having this problem?

[R.G.S.]

@James Cook

Yes, it's bugged. Same with turning the mini map off, it just never remembers your settings. Was the same with Empire on release...

Hope they fix this soon. I prefer having the map off (can always get it with F5 anyway) and so far have found the picture in picture annoying.

[James Cook]

thx mate

Was the same with Empire on release...

Yes iam remember that one...lol

hopefully they will realese a patch soon to adress the many isssues

[SsgtSam]

Doesnt sound like a big deal for some of you but i dont liek it that the belgium flag is wrong

It should be black yellow red not red yellow black

[irishron]

Oops. Thank you.

[Vicks]

Spies are bugged:

When i try to enter a town with at spy, i get the "agent detected" message, meaning my agent was detected entering town and thus cannot enter. When i dismiss that message and right-click the town to enter it anyway the game allows it everytime. In other word i can enter any settlement succesfully.

[Vicks]

The portrait of napoleon in the diplomacy pannel isn't napoleon.

Neither is his unit card. Im playing as the british in campaign of the coalition and both the diplomacy icon and the unit card for Napoleon is wrong.

[Gustav21]

A copy of the error report would help.

Its just a windows message saying that Napoleon: Total War has stopped working. Then it just crashes without fail.
