Path length CTD (probably impacts EB1 stability)

[Milnaht]

One of the EB2 playtesters is using Steam, so far successfully, so we haven't forgotten you! And bovi worked a project to go in and reduce the file name lengths on the unti textures that seemed to be the source of the problem, and we haven't seen the CTD since. So that will help too. No bandwidth to go back and redo EB1 unfortunately - it's a massive job and we can't lose focus on EB2.

If i wanted to fix some CTD's in EB1 what file would i have to got to? Would going to D\RTW\EB\Data\models_unit and simply shortening some overly long names work or would i have to change something else as well?

Also My Siege CTD happens in the capital of the Arverni in spring, do they have mediteranean climate?

I doubt it's as easy as that. Could @bovi and @Kull have a look at this question?

(Apologies for pinging you if you'd already seen it, but I get the impression I am the only one still watching this forum.)

Didn't see it. But yeah, it's not that easy. As far as I know the path length issue does not affect RTW. It really shouldn't, because there is no model DB file, and that means the code reading/using the stuff is different. You're welcome to try to do that of course, but I imagine it will be a fruitless effort.

If you wanna fix your file path length LongPathTool software is works good also you can have more option related to file size, extension etc.
