Hi .

Recently - while waiting for next patch - I'm playing some custom battles, learning new tactics, etc, and saving some interesting battle replays.
But there's strange problem when playing back saved 'battle replay'.

From some point of time of battle replay -> battle replay 'starts cheating' !!! That's becoming not my battle !!!
It looks like that from some point of battle the replay is 'real-time fought' AI vs AI, and not replaying my recorded battle !!
Even the end numbers (kills, loses) are different from the original battle !!

Do you encountered such problems ? Any fixes ?

I would like to share some of my battles replays on the forum, but now those replays are not exactly my battles !

lol i fixed it somehow it was that the files where to read only in properties if anyone has this issue that the solution sorry.

[MWY]

Glad you solved it yourself larvon.

@tmodelsk: Thats a vanilla issue and there is no fix to it. In the battles only the units involved and the commands given at a certain time are recorded if I'm correct. The rest, like arrow volley hits, siege unit hits, charge impacts are varying (or newly generated by the game). That's why a recorded won battle can even be a loss in the replay.

My logs file is missing.

[Zooasaurus]

Some problems:
- I didn't see any Bowstring animation
- When i play in Grassy Plains, the grasslands magically turned into desert
- In some maps like Pyramids or pains, the background seems to be blackened out
- The game didn't save my settings after i exit

Any fixes for this?

[Lifthrasir]

- Not all archers/arbalesters have the bowstring animations implemented yet. Mostly, only the western units have it (models from GeMiNi][SaNDy).
- That's an old issue but to be honest, custom battles are not our priority for now.
- Issue known and hopefully a fix should come quite soon.
- This is not relating to SSHIP. That's because you installed your game in C://Programfiles. Re-install everything directly on C drive and that shouldn't happen again.

The game crashes when I try to take Firenze. In the thread it said it was because of a bad line of code? But I'm having trouble fixing it. I edited the line to change the 68 to 67, but it still crashes.

[Lifthrasir]

Can you post your battle_model.modeldb file to let me have a look at it? It might not be the source of the issue.
Is there any HRE army involved?
If you autoresolve the battle, do you still have the ctd?

No HRE involvement, autoresolve doesn't cause ctd.

[Lifthrasir]

Your file looks fine. Have you tried to add the slave to the ownership of the Italian Cavalry Militia in the EDU?

[Tripledot]

That seems to have worked. Thanks!

[Lifthrasir]

Great!

[Aquila_Mars]

Regarding the game not saving settings after an exit, if your game crashes while you are "exiting" it via the menu like normal, it actually doesn't save them. This was a huge issue for me back when the steam patch first landed and I was trying to mod it. Had to set my settings highest possible every time I ran the game FeelsBadMan.

I advice customising settings and then quitting the game without ever starting a campaign/custom battle. That should do it.

[tmodelsk]

Early Era Campaign , Southern France - Toulouse (and possibly Bordeaux) should be a center of the Heretic Cathars & Albigenses (heretics to Catholic Church), possibly later on, after 1150 - 75.

Toulouse on the campaign start has 55% heretics (ok), but around 1140 (15 turns later) it has only 8% of heretics, possibly due to a Catholic Church built in.
Is the catholic church causing conversions ? I think yes. So it should be replaced by some building causing conversions to heresy. (is there any ?) Or just remove Catholic Chapel.

Possibly the same should apply to Bordeaux ?

As I understand from history -> the heretic Cathars & Albigenses in southerrn France were quite strong around 1200 and earlier.
In game there are quire strong rebels (maybe should be stronger ?), but they're catholic rebel not heretic rebels.

I have replied to this in the General Discussion thread because this is not a bug. You can see my post here.

I'm a touch confused as to how to install the SSHIP,frankly im a little bummed that theres a video guide out there for installing SS,even though its easier to install,but not this.

[Lifthrasir]

To be be moved to SSHIP - Bugs Reports & Technical Help


Download this .exe and try it. It should work: here on Mega and here on Google Drive.

I've also updated the installation instructions accordingly. It was a mess, my fault

[Pherion]

My save keeps crashing on turn 70 everytime I click "End Turn". As soon as it reaches the Rebels, it crashes.

I have checked what is causing the crash. A heretic named Inram is causing it every time he walks up to a city, that-s when it crashes. So I want to kill him, but the Console command "kill_Character" doesn't work. So how can I kill him?


I have written "kill_character Inram" and it only gives an error message. Is there a different code?

[Pherion]

Okay, I've been playing as Portugal and I'm on turn 70 when the crash happened. It's on the end turn stage when it's the rebels turn.

I checked the log and it shows this:


15:22:36.801 [data.invalid] [error] World creation error: couldn't find unit description for unit type 'ME Cavalry Militia'.
15:22:36.801 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.


What can I do to fix this?
