Post patch 1.5 Bug List

**Mr Frost** · 10-05-2009, 19:10

Game crashes on very first screen {the opening credits} .

It pops up a microsoft error message that blames the : ModName Empire.exe and notes it is indeed version 1.5 .

I was playing it without problem less than 20 hours ago , haven't downloaded anything {other than the steam auto download} nor changed anything in the game or on the computer .

The only mod is Darthmod and whilst I'm not the only one getting this crash there , apparantly some are getting it on vanilla too link .
I'm pretty damned annoyed .

Edit : when I looked through some of the Microsoft error message , it did mention my system being NT which is rubbish given it is XP and every other application that tells you what my O.S. is lists it as XP .
Unless it was refering to something else . I can't imagine how C/A could have borked things so bad my O.S. forgets what it is , but it was so odd I thought I should mention it .
I did check and the game does not run in compatability mode , so it isn't that .

I'm also getting a crash on the opening credits screen; everything ran perfectly yesterday in 1.4; today, game crashes on startup. Woooo!

The text is still fuzzy/blurry.

- Strategic map scrolling still choppy: strategic map scrolling is still as choppy as it was before 1.3. It was fixed in 1.3, but choppiness crawled back in 1.4. Also, the strat map frequently becomes "paralized" for a minute or two when a fleet is selected. Same behavior was observed pre-1.3. It was fixed in 1.3, and reappeared with 1.4.

- Weird calculation for the auto-calc battle odds. I noticed it when I was facing a depleted gendarmerie unit with half a stack of decent troops. The auto-calc odds displayed were in AI's favor. For the heck of it, I autoresolved and won by a huge margin with almost no troops lost. From that point, I started to pay attention to the odd's meter. It's weird in 1.5. Frequently, it would show advantage for the AI, when the real odds favor the player (as suggested by the autoresolve results too). Maybe the display is reversed by mistake. The player's odds are shown on the AI's side and vice versa.

In my first 1.5 battle my almost full stack army of Poles was intercepted by 2 units of Crimean cossacks standing on the bridge on the way to their capital. Unusual tactic I thought. Even more unusual was the fact that the river I had to cross to annihilate them was black - it looked more like a river of crude oil or something. And it didn't have a bridge despite the province having a road and a visible bridge on the strat map.

When i try to trade technologies, i only have the 3 tabs for the 3 different tech-types at my trading window, but not over the one from the trade partner. His tabs switch too when i change my tabs, but not all techs seem to be accessible that way, and sometimes techs from different types are mixed up in one window... weird!

Anyone else got this?

I noticed this too. The trade techs screen only have one tab for me. I can't see all their available techs. I haven't found a workaround for this. The regular tech interface has some bugs now. Sometimes I open it up and the tabs have the wrong icons. Supposed to be Military, Industry, Philosophy but instead it is Philosophy, Philosophy, Military. When it bugs like this the first tab is usually unclickable. The workaround is to re-open the tech interface.
