A navy bug?

[Ar7]

I got a serious issue with the game here, it keeps stealing my ships, they just dissappear after i move them. It is not a storm or an enemy attack, none of those signs appeared. I had to end a campaign as the danes today and now it seems that i can't play one as the italians too.

By the way i am playing a MTW without VI and unpatched, since when i patched it, the games just began crashing randomly without any reason to it.

Please help http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-computer.gif

i assume you've tried uninstalling/reinstalling? maybe you should buy VI, it's pretty good http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

no, i can't help you http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

People always used to say this was to do with doing .matteosartori. but I once had a few ships disappear without doing this. I can't help you, but when it happened to me it went away after 2 games.

[Ar7]

Well i did use .matteosartori. .... anybody able to comment about this cheat being the problem? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-gossip.gif

I did try install/uninstall http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

And yes i would like to buy VI, but i can't, since they don't sell it in Estonia http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif Atleast i haven't seen it. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-help.gif

you can't use amazon.com or some other internet shop? what would the shipping be like?

[Ar7]

Well last time when i checked they didn't even ship to Estonia, i don't know about now, we did join the EU. But i guess the shipment would cost atleast as much as the game, just a thought though.

I've personally seen a few computers on which MTW did not run properly (white strategic map, etc), both with and without v1.1 patch. Apparently, however, VI fixes a lot of issues. I've installed MTW + VI on 4 or 5 machines w/out any problems whatsoever. It might even fix bugs with the cheats, too. It's worth getting it if you can afford to.
And for shipping related issues, are there no sites that distribute it in sweden/norway/denmark ? (i.e., you buy it off the net, but it's shipped from denmark, which should be considerably cheaper than from UK, not to mention US).

yeah, you're probably right http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif i found a site that explicitly ships to estonia, but the shipping is like $30 US and the game is only $20 http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif

have you tried european sites? i'd imagine that the shipping from germany/russia/scandanavia should be considerably less right?

eh..

try this: http://shop.game.net/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=10403&mid=267240

under the shipping choices, it has royal mail for 'europe' and the 'rest of the world' game is £20 (which is about 500 krooni i think, or 30 euro) and the shipping is between £3-4. personally, i really like the viking campaign, but i'm not sure if it'd be worth 36 euro.

Now you got my hopes up already....:confused:

They ship to Pakistan, Yemen, Honduras, Kuwait and even to South Africa, but they don't ship to Estonia. Sheeesh, we are so bloody close to the UK what's the problem. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-furious3.gif

Anywho, back to the topic. I am guessing more and more that the problem was in the cheat .matteosartori.

[Lil' Timmy]

lol, sorry for getting your hopes up.. it's kinda funny though.. yemen, lol. sounds like you'll need to smuggle it in from the outside http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-stunned.gif
