EB v0.7.3a (patch + hotfix)

[khelvan]

Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans!

The EB team has been working diligently to resolve the Stone Wall Banners CTD, and we are happy to announce the result: A new EB v.73a install for those upgrading from v.72 and a much smaller Hotfix for those who have already installed EB v.73. As a reward for your patience, we added a few additional improvements to the Hotfix/v.73a:

- Adjusted wall, tavern, theater, and health building entries and descriptions
- Adjusted fleet recruitment and descriptions
- Adjusted some units' recruitment

So without further ado, here are the installation links and instructions for each file:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Full Patch: EB Version 0.73a is a full patch (67MB), and should be installed on top of EB v.72. Version 0.72, as you know, needs to be installed on a clean, working version of RTW with the 1.2 patch installed, and with no other mods installed.

2) Hotfix: The EB v.73 Hotfix (1.5MB) solves the "Stone Wall Banners" CTD and also incorporates a number of late improvements to the recruitment system. The hotfix can ONLY be installed on top of an EB v.73 installation! It is a zip file, so you'll have to ensure it is unzipped in the same directory where you installed v.73. (Note: If you don't get a file overwrite warning, you aren't unzipping them into the correct directory.)

DOWNLOAD LINKS:

Late improvements to the unit recruitment system?
should i download the patch again? and, it still wont be savegamecompatible right?

[khelvan]

If you downloaded 0.7.3, all you would need to do, as per the instructions we have tried our very best to make clear, is to install the hotfix.

Were any of my instructions unclear on this point?

Dear Guys,
I can now say that I have all working with no problems so far on both machines. After much frustration on our bigger unit I re-installed EB and played for some time. Then I installed the patch 7.3 and played it for some time. Finally just about 241BC I installed the hotfix and to my surprise, no crashes and so far no problems. This was how I did it on the first machine with no problems so perhaps installing seperately might just work for others as well.
Yours,

....it still wont be savegamecompatible right?

Is the "hotfix" for correcting the "buildings-"folder mistake? If not please specify. Thx.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

It does correct that, but it also corrects a few of the bigger unit recruitment problems too. So actually, if someone got a download before the fix, and then they corrected the fix manually, as we explained, they could continue on with their campaign if they have gotten a good start on it. They'd just have to be aware there could be better recruitment in some places with the patch. But we aren't mandating that people get the hotfix immediately if the fixed the wall banner problem themselves and are having a good campaign going.

Dear Guys,

I have been running 7.3 with no problems and have just unzipped the hotfix which overwrote the files as expected. I notice that the version number hasn't changed from 7.3b to 7.3a in the opening page. Is this correct? This is on one machine.

On another I downloaded 7.3a onto 7.2 but the game seems to have run amok. The sea is lapping at a fantastic rate and the little waggons on the roads are moving like formula 1 cars and the line around picked towns is flashing like a crossing light. This only lasted 4 end turns and then CTD.

Are you having any similar reports? The machine in question is dual core, SLI, and dual graphics would this play any significant role in the antics?

Yours,

Does it fix the Latin voices for Romans?

Dear All,

As Rome I have reaches 191 BC and apart from lack of recruits, even with barracks in place, the game is otherwise working fine and no CTD's to report.

Reached 188 BC and had my first crash at end turn. Went back in through autosave, moved a few units around the towns and pressed end turn and all appears well again. Have now reached 184 BC.
