Re: Another patch?

Yeah I saw that, no idea yet why.

However I hope they fix sommet soon, my game now crashes constantly and before it never did.

Going.

Out.

Of.

My.

Mind.

Re: Another patch?

Don't know why it updates all versions, but the german version is working again now!

But it didn't fix my missing trade details in my prussia campaign...

Re: AW: Re: Another patch?

So I take it the speculation that it was a German version update is correct.

Re: Another patch?

Maybe it's a patch for the other patch. Because to be honest the second patch has actually managed to make my game significantly more unstable than it was before :no:.

Re: Another patch?

I haven't launched the game since Sunday, so I don't have the patch(es) yet. In light of these problems, would you guys recommend turning off Steam updates before the next time I launch the game, at least until this is sorted out? It's been running fine for me except 1 or 2 random crashes, which happened when Steam popped up a window for some reason.

Re: Another patch?

I've had no problems at all before or after yesterdays patch. I haven't loaded it up since the newest one, so I'm not sure about that.....

Re: Another patch?

Hope it fixes my problem. I CTD whenever i try to start a Grand Campaign. I am reinstalling for the second time in as many days.

Re: Another patch?

Yeah, this is strange. After the first patch, things started to crumble for me. Campaign map scrolls kinda jumpy, whenever I click a unit/city/port whatever game pauses annoyingly like it didn't use to.

And now I got my first CTD as well. Reboot and the same happened when trying to click one unit (navy in a port). :wall:

Hope they'll solve the first patch with the second patch (and the second with the third, Jeez).

Re: Another patch?

Even tho this is a bad example.

When i played Star Wars Galaxies, Sony Online Entertainment, always seemed to break more in the game with their patches than fix. Kind of worrying if you ask me.

Now I know CA is no where near as incompetent as SOE was but I pray that this is not a situation that repeats itself ad nausem.

BTW, I still CTD when i try to start a Grand Campaign. 3 seperate clean installs, tossed out all my save game files, did the CFF Explorer fix posted by TB666. But the RtI works just fine, odd.:dizzy2:

[-]March 10, 2009 - Empire: Total War Update Released
Updates to Empire: Total War have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:
Empire: Total War
Fixed Alt-Tab issue which prevents players from switching away from a fullscreen window
Fixed text rendering for certain resolutions
Fixed localized font overrun issues
Fixed a variety of crash and memory leak issues
Fixed a variety of multiplayer client lock
Fixed trade nodes for those nations with resource in home region which caused unprofitable trade theatre routes eg: Sweden and Marathas

Are you refering to this one or is there another one after this one.

Re: Another patch?

There was another update but no notes were released on it as far as I can see. Most ppl are saying it was for the German version of the game.

Re: Another patch?

I'm still waiting for the vaunted Delete Save Games feature to be in a patch.

It can't be that hard to do.

Re: Another patch?

I had a screen shot of it updating, but I didn't save it. Yeah, I got a message on about downloading empire total war, which changed a couple of settings which I did which happened this afternoon.

Why not just go to

C:/Documents and Settings/(User)/Application Data/The Creative Assembly/Empire/Save_Games

then find the file you want to delete and do so?

Of course you can do that but it is just weird that CA did not include a button.

BTW, your sig pic is HUGE - and disturbing.

Re: Another patch?

Have you clicked on the link and watched it to the end?

It's basically an advert for cheap car insurance. The meerkat says "Simples".

I said "Simples"

I posted a pic of the meerkat who says the same thing I said.
