Can't load your save. If someone else is able to load it let me know.

i checked again. worked before i posted it, now it doesnt. seems both saves i had for this campaign are corrupted or stuff. i guess you could simply try to attack the settlement as NK, the bug happens no matter what.

[Louis Lux]

I moved an army there and took the settlement without any issues. I can only hazard a guess that there is a problem with your installation. If anyone else can check I would appreciate it.

Found an error in your Elendil model, Louis. The tassets (under the designation of plates), instead of attachments, it went to figure.

[Earl of Memory]

It's not necessarily an error, sometimes the converter scrambles things to the invisible realm and they migrate towards figure even though they are UV mapped under attachments. What should be done is move the UV coordinates and reassign it to figure. Otherwise in game it will be assigned to attachments.

Hi guys I'm experiencing something weird. The game CTD when begining a battle. Right after the loading screen. It does not even end the loading bar, CTD just before it gets completed...
The weird thing is that it does not happen with DaC. I have 2 TATW folders (the DaC one renamed) and only my DCI crashes. It happens when sieging a settlement. I have tried sieging a settlement on DaC and everything loads properly. Not DCI...

Any idea ?

Here is the end of my log (which is huge btw)

Hmmmmm, did that particular model exists in the files?
Better check it.

[RaiderofMordor]

I think I found our problem.
The folder in question doesn't exist, clearly a BMDB error.
The file in question located on unit_models/_generals_and_captains/generals.
Just replace the word Northern_Captain with Generals in the BMDB, and you're good to go.

[Earl of Memory]

This is strange because in my own folder I do have the folder \unit_models\_generals_and_captains\northern_captain that contains the slave_general_lod0.mesh in question.

[RaiderofMordor]

Maybe the public release doesn't have it, even though it's there by default after you overwritten the TATW files.

I do have it too. And I'm using public release...

Should I replace ALL the Northern_Captain with Generals in BMDB ? Ot just one of them ? There are 190 occurences of Northern_Captains in the BMDB ... If I replace them all with notepad, CTD when launching game...

Thanks

Either replace it or import that file from vanilla TATW.

My recommendation: replace it, all of it.
Before you do that, check if the model and textures are there from the actual location before replacing the BMDB entry.
