Bug List (Post Patch #3)

[Marquis of Roland]

Reaching into the 1770's on Prussia post patch now.

There have been less CTDs; all campaign map-based CTDs with exception of naval seems to have gone for this specific campaign. Battle CTDs still happen but less frequently. However, there is longer lag on campaign map for me at certain times and goes away by itself that hasn't happened before. Also I think there's something buggy about the shadowing still, it keeps flickering on campaign map every so often, and always happens when I switch theater (also happens in battle deployment phase but not during actual battle). I have all checkbox options turned off.

During battles there is a certain action or sound that is bugged; I haven't been able to isolate it but everytime it happens my normally high FPS battle will turn choppy for a few seconds, then go back to smooth, then choppy again. Sometimes this stops during the battle, sometimes it keeps going until it eventually CTDs.

The weird nameless tech you can trade is gone.

I dunno if this is a bug or feature or maybe I didn't see this right but during a recent battle 1 guard infantry unit fired what seemed like a full volley at a unit of charging lancers. There were riflemen in front of them but they just shot off a volley themselves as the lancers came into 125 range. Once they got within 70, a single row of smoke puffs rather than a ripple.

@Alphonse
What faction were you when you got the Gilbraltar CTD?

I think it was GB. I just captured all of Spain and build a fleet in Gibraltar. When I clicked on it I had a CTD. After the patch I did the same with my GB campaign and there was no CTD.

Playing as Great Britain. I combined *click and dragged one unit card over the other* two depleted Native Missle Cav units in my small force that was protecting the Moose Factory from a Huron attack. Now when I click on that force no unit cards appear, the tab where the cards generally appear identify that group as an agent and not an army. You can move them, but can't check their status. I clicked end turn to see if that would fix the problem, but it did not. It was early in the campaign so I just started over.

There is an odd bug when playing in Windows.

It is if the picture slips to the effect that when trying to click on an object you have to fish for it until it is highlighted.

It usually seems to slip to the lower right and the longer you play the worse it gets. The game must be closed down and restarted to get it back to where it belongs.

Auto-merge ctd still with us. I think it happens if merging the units will result in one unit disappearing.

Double trade bug. Another one from pre-patch that's still with us. Twice now, on different campaigns (GBR and Prussia), I get double the income from one trade partner. They appear twice on the trade screen, two seperate lines, both showing the same amount, and the total trade revenue amount at the bottom of the screen does take into account both 'routes'. In one game I was getting 5k+ from Spain... twice. Which was nice.

That happens when a trade partner captures another trade partner's capital. Sometimes it corrects itself, and other times it doesn't.

For e.g., in one pre-patch campaign it happened when when Russia lost Moscow to Sweden. Sweden appeared twice on the trade list, and the route was still to Moscow. It wouldn't correct after the Russians took back Moscow, so I had to cancel the trade agreement - I was losing money.

IIRC, something similar happened in my post-patch French campaign, but it corrected itself. I would have to load it up, and see, but I think the Russians already took back Moscow.

How did you determine you were losing money? That's not making any sense to me, and as money is very tight in my new campaign I could stand to keep an eye on trade agreements that need to be cancelled. But again, no idea how i'd tell I was losing money from one.

Post Patch Spanish Bug!

Spain gets no credit for its Tobacco Plantations. The at start trade figures are 44 (4 barrels)

The several plantations produce 15 barrels. It will drop to 0 later. Upgrading the plantations does nothing, unless this is what sends it to 0.


Also, what the heck is going on with the hiding behind walls?

Every time I try to use it, it will only allow me to hide on one side. Usually the side the enemy is coming from!

This is a big deal! It effects tactics severely!

Fish, target the wall with your pointer until it turns to the 'hiding type' then drag and drop on the side of the wall you want. At least wall positioning IS NOT bugged.

What's bugged is that once behind the wall, line units do not shoot. Maybe one or two men get up once in a blue moon and fire a bullet. Otherwise, all of them just sit behind the fence and engage in constant reloading exercise. Probably covering behind the fence does not work well with firing by rank algorithm, but I believe, I've seen the reloading exercise performed by line infantry even before fire by rank is available.

Same UP game as before, and another ctd when I moved a non pike unit from Cologne to Brussels. I now move units via Amsterdam and it has been fine for 20 turns.

Got a strange error when I was looking at Orissa. There were bars across the screen going wobbly and it was all very odd. The whole comp had frozen, and when I turned my screen off and on again nothing at all showed.

Compared to the pre patch version no one has offered me a land swap at all, and I even have Rhineland, which the AI used to have a severe obsession about. It seems like it went from 3 crazy offers a turn to none at all.

Also, when the AI is having its turn, Sweden's turn takes about 4 times longer than any other faction, even though they have just the 5 provinces.

Am still a turn away from getting fire-by-rank and tried wall hiding ( my men are not cowards sir, and don't normally hide behind anything ) in my last couple battles. Even in the same battle they've both fired at the enemy once their troops came into range - and reasonable firing most of the first line of troops, never the second line - then later after being moved into another wall cowering spot where the enemy was already within range they just stood there. no reloading just 2 nearly full units in range and doing nothing.

haven't noticed much that might trigger it.

Trade Goods Bug in Rupert's Land
There seems to be a bug affecting the number of fur pelts generated by the two fur traders in Rupert's Land. Based on my research...
- Abundant trade goods towns produce 200% of the listed units
- High = 175%
- Average = 150%
- Low = 125%
- Meagre = 100%

Rupert's Land has 1 Abundant fur town and one Average one. When both are at level 1, the base is 15. Thus, the Abundant trader should actually be producing 30 units and the Average trader should be producing 22, for a total of 52 units of fur. When you open up the region capital page, it says that only 34 units are being produced. When you open up the Trade window, it says only 30 are being supplied to London and then exported to trade partners.

I've reconfirmed the unit modifiers with other towns, like the two British sugar plantations in the Carribean. The Abundant one in Jamaica is producing 200% of the listed amount and the Meagre one is producing 100% of the listed amount. Those sugar units are consistent in each region capital's window and in the trade window.

Campaign CTD (DOW Related?)

In my French Long Campaign I cannot get past 1777, evertime I click end turn (tried from diff save games) I get a CTD while the AI tries to do Portugal's turn.

I decided to play around and see why. GB declared war on me just the past turn and Portugal is their only ally. however they declined to join the war. I thought I would try and declare war on Portugal before ending the turn to see what would happen and sure enough it crashes as soon as I do this without my getting around to ending the turn.

I next tried to reload and attack portugal with my fleet creating a DOW again. Same thing instant CTD.

At this point I cannot get past this turn. Going to try making peace with GB and see if that works.

Trade Goods Bug in Rupert's Land

Is not a bug, but an undocumented change in the patch. Your basic trade port can only export 30 bales worth of goods. You need to upgrade to the 2nd level to reach 60 bales, etc.

[al Roumi]

Despite owning all regions in direct contact with the iroquoi, I am unable to trade with them. I had expected to be able to trade by road, but in fact i am not. Surely this is a bug.
