Patch today

[TB666]

Yes Ultimate 32 Bit

Then you can already fix that.
Get the program CFF Explorer and run it.
Open Empire.exe, click on "file header", Click where it says "click here"(hehe) and check the "app can handle >2gb address space" and then save.
I did this and haven't had this problem since.
Infact haven't had a CTD since I did this.
It pretty much allows ETW to use more then 2gb which Vista puts on games.

You are the man!

You are the man!

Can't promise it will work for everyone but it worked great for me.

Thanks for the good news. Thank god they will continously be updating this game to make it top notch unlike some other developers.

[Beskar]

I got the patch now, no luck with my Poland-Lith game though, damn. :(

[Xerxes74]

Where can the patch be downloaded from? Steam?

[Beskar]

Right click launch game and then it goes straight to updating it.

[Melvish]

Where can the patch be downloaded from? Steam?

Yes in steam.
If you right click on ETW in your game folder (in steam app) and select properties. From there click on the updates tab. You will see a combo box labeled "Automatic Updates". Select "Always keep this game up to date".

From now on whenever you start steam it will check if there a new patch available.

hope it help.

[BeeSting]

bah, it didn't fix the AI no-transport-troops-overseas issue. It really didn't fix anything for me. I'd never play Sweden.

Me grumpy old man.

It wasn't suppose to fix those issues.
Shogun clearly stated that this week's patch would focus on performance, not AI issues.

[Maleficus]

I hope they'll make other factions playable in a future patch.



I can't be the only one desperate to play as the Inuits, can I?.......

I was asking questions about the patching process last week...

I didn't seem to notice Steam update anything. I have it set to automatically update Empire:TW, but again...didn't see any update get downloaded.

Is this normal? As in, it's totally behind the scenes with no prompting or notification?

Nine times out of ten, yes. Steam does most of the updates without telling you, although major updates usually trigger a pop-up message when you log in to Steam telling you the update is out (class updates in Team Fortress 2 or the recent UT3 update, for example).

Personally, i love it. I've come online, done everything i needed to do, popped on here, discovered there was an update and that it's already installed. In previous games i'd be searching around for a download link right now, but instead i'm off to play the game :D

[Quickening]

Is there any way to confirm you got the patch because I can't tell.

[Tsavong]

Is there any way to confirm you got the patch because I can't tell.

Yes go into Steam then My Games and right click on ETW and view update news and it should have something for the 10th of March.

Thats the only way i know to tell.

*Edit* im not 100% sure but i think it works for save games Maleficus

[Dooz]

So the patch didn't fix my Swedish campaign's CTD issue on Austria's turn. That and the campaign map seems no more smooth than before. I haven't tried anything else but I've heard way too many reports that a lot of people can't even play any battles because of crashing immediately post-patch. Let's hope there's a much quicker stability patch put out instead of waiting another week to add gameplay stuff, if even that.

[Shadow_Wolf33]

What did the version number change to?

[The Spartan (Returns)]

Well since it's on Steam, there's gonna be frequent minor patches, and some big ones.
