v0.72 Collected Bug List

[Malrubius]

Here's some information about the AI multi-turn movement failed merge bug. Maybe somebody who knows more about this can figure out what's going on?

Anybody have any ideas or thoughts about this merging stacks = CTD bug? Seems to be happening a lot. I just had it in winter, 272, with my Baktria campaign. Two Roman armies tried to merge in the vicinity of Capua, and one stack kind of "bounced" back a step, like it wasn't able to merge, then the game CTD'ed.

Filemon didn't give any useful output.

[edit}
Could it have anything to do with this stuff in descr_skeleton.txt? We changed the models, but not the animations? Does it matter?

edit again:
Ok, I did it in slow-motion this time. I clicked 'End Turn' and let the pre-assigned multi-turn moves complete. What's happening, is that one army moves to the spot, and the other gets pushed back one step, just like when you move an army on top of a diplomat.

Showing the assigned movement:


Captain starts moving:


Two stacks in same spot:


Other captain steps back:


He's finished stepping back, and now CTD occurs (you can see screen breaking up in bottom right corner):

There shouldn't be any problems with captains like that. I mean, you guys didn't/couldn't change anything regarding captains right? It looks as though they are acting like one of them is a diplomat or other nonarmy unit that is being displaced by an army.

While I'm here, there is a known bug with winning the Olympics (if your game crashes in the summer of 272, 268, 264, 260, etc, this might be the reason). To fix it (and possibly save your campaign), find your Data\text\export_VnVs.txt file and edit it, like so:

1. Search for "Olympionikes_effects_desc"
2. Everywhere you find something like this, add "+1 Influence" to the next line. It should look like this (there should be a blank line between +1 Influence and the gain_desc line):

{Olympionikes_effects_desc}
+1 Influence

{Olympionikes_gain_desc}

{Baktria_Olympionikes_effects_desc}
+1 Influence

{Baktria_Olympionikes_gain_desc}

{Epeiros_Olympionikes_effects_desc}
+1 Influence

{Epeiros_Olympionikes_gain_desc}

and so on...

Do this for each Hellenic faction (Baktria, Epeiros, Koinon_Hellenon, Makedonia, Ptolemaioi, and Seleukid).

Found a couple of bugs in the germanic uniter trait for the Sweboz leader. The trigger conditions in export_descr_character_traits.txt have typos in the settlement names, gawjam_hattox (should be hattoz) and gawjam_kimbrioz (should be kimbroz). There is also a problem that after correcting the typos the description of the trait lists your leader as conqueror of the romans instead of uniter of the german tribes.

Thanks for pointing these out! I had caught the description, but not the trigger problems. Changing these triggers and the description are savegame compatible, for anybody who wants to play a Sweboz campaign and attempt to gain this "triumph" for their faction leader.

I have changed these and after wanting to restart a new campain I get a CTD when the "load bar" is complete
It works again after I reloaded a fresh Beta-EB

[pezhetairoi]

Adopted Roman generals are adopted as Equites Singulares units, and to make things worse, they appear with an over-100-strong escort, while the Equites Consulares faction leader is only 86-strong at most when I saw him. Seriously bugged/imbalanced? That singulares unit can take out almost any 5 units singlehandedly, i think, short of an enemy general's cavalry unit.

[Tricon]

This concernes the merging stack ctd.
Ok, I played through about a hundred and fifty years (600 turns) . Most as baktria, but also the germanic tribes and rome. And I started five other campaigns but only playing for maybe 20 turns each (as part of this bug check)

Could it be that this CTD has its cause in the trait or ancillary system?

- I've noticed that stacks merge just fine within the first 15 turns or so (as long as they have not fought).
- I've noticed that the CTD only occurs when at least one stack has fought in sone of the previous turns.
- The "stepping back" is oddly similar to the fleet merging problem of admirals once they have ancilars or traits.

To put it bluntly: is the EB awarding traits or ancilaries to captains, who then cannot merge and a ctd happens?
