View Full Version : Request to CA: please, fix faces' bug (clone armies)

I'd like to ask CA to fix the following bug. Soldiers in game got only 2 different face skins even on the highest details. I'm pretty sure that is a bug because I've checked the .dds textures files and every unit has 4 different face skins. Unfortunately the game uses only first and second face. Here are the examples:

Please notice that we can see in game only faces #1 and #2 in the game whereas number 3 and 4 are only in the textures files. The game engine doesn't allow regiments to use 4 different faces. Because of this bug, many people call ETW "a clone army". It also takes away much of diversification from ETW comparing to MTW2 which had 6 different faces per regiment. Please, fix it in the next patch.

EA did fix it, that was the fix.

It used the be the same exact face everywhere, like the Napoleon screenshots.

These screens are Ultra the highest :)
It is not problem in my game. All players have only 2 faces, you too. :)
Look in my screens - 2 faces. In textures are 4... only textures, but not in game.
You can see in that in your game are only 2 faces in the fact :juggle2:

I only have 2 faces.:shrug: The problem may be that the faces on the models may not be UV mapped to the textures...

See now this is just unfair.

I've played E:TW a bit recently, 40 turns or so in a prussian campaign, but sooo many other games to play.

Plus, if I admit it to you Megas, you whine and whine and want me to vs you in MP.

While I may not be a playar like you lot (:tongue:)

I am 10000% sure I'm at work, so my interest level is low.

Just pointing it out, since I've seen more than two faces.
