BEFORE you post a bug report make sure it does NOT fall into one of th

[barocca]

1. Most SP bugs are caused by installing the patch over a "used" copy of the game, perhaps the player is trying to run an old saved game, or perhaps one of the mods has not been unistalled correctly.
Suggest -
ReInstall a fresh copy of the game and THEN run the patch. Do not use old saved games.

================

2. Most MP drops may be caused by running a campaign or custom battle, then going online,
some discrepencies between stats are causing drops,
Suggest -
ALWAYS close and restart the game before going online.

(thanks to Erado, Kraellin and Puzz3D for these tips)

================

3. Most "vanished" or "unbuildable" units are due to all units will now show up ONLY in their assigned Era's, Late Units will not show up until the Late Era,

to find what era a unit is go here http://www.totalwarassembly.com/waracademy.cfm
and select troop type or faction drop down boxes.

(and thanks to many people who pointed this out - Doc was one, can't recall the rest right now)

I fell victim to this one.

Curious will the official patch and the one released yesterday be compatible?

You gotto admit there is a sense of humour in the situation :-) the patch is the real ufficial one, but the release isn't. What's not there ? Some legal mumbo-jumbo ?

My guess is someone was tired of all our bitching and said "what the hell, let's release it for the players and worry about the lawyers later".
