Bug List (Post Patch #3)

[Servius]

Trade Bug #1
Game is only tracking 9 trade partners. I have 11. The Diplomacy screen shows all 11 trade partners. The Trade screen only shows 9. The total Trade Revenue shown at the bottom of the Trade screen is the sum of the 9 trade partners shown. Canceling one of the 9 displayed trade partnerships does not make either of the missing two show up, it just reduces the number displayed trade relationships to 8. My trade revenue dropped when I added the 2 most recent parters (Genoa and Venice) because their relationships were worth less than the 2 they made disappear (Ottoman and Mughal).

EDIT 1
I had destroyed the trade port in Bristol, one of my earliest trade ports, and turned it into a shipyard. Since it was one of my earliest trade ports, and since my trade agreements with Mughal and Ottoman were two of my earliest trade partnerships, it's possible that destroying the trade port caused a bug where by I no longer had a functioning trade parternship with those two nations. It seems the bug may prevent other trade ports from picking up the slack.

EDIT 2
Destroying Bristol's shipyard and rebuilding the Trade Port did not resolve the problem. Canceling the trade agreements with Mughal and Ottoman, then obtaining them again did allow me to trade with them again, and for the revenue from those trade relationships to appear in the Trade window.

Trade Bug #2
The cumulative value for all trade partnerships shown in the Trade screen is more than the revenue shown under Trade Revenue on the National Summary page. Those two numbers should be the same, shouldn't they?

Upper Louisiana Cotton Plantation Bug
Upper Louisiana shows Cotton Planation revenue in the Region Wealth window, but there is no Cotton Planation anywhere in the region.

Playing new long campaign as French

I have been experiencing much longer AI turn moves especially on Sweden. Most of the time this is fine, but periodically I get a CTD during the AI's turn. never had this pre patch.

The naval fleet select CTD bug has resurfaced. I now have a fleet transporting my main american army that I cannot use as everytime I click on the fleet I get a CTD. I thought this was fixed.

Nah, this was a problem in all previous versions. And I can confirm it still is.

Most annoying thing is that it ALWAYS seems to strike a vital battle fleet or a fleet carrying an experienced army. Never has it struck merchantmen en route or some trade raiding frigates. Amazing that a bug so easy to isolate is still in.

[Monsieur Alphonse]

I don't have the click on fleet bug. I had that twice pre patch. The first was while reloading a couple of units on a fleet and the second while clicking on a newly trained fleet in Gibraltar. Post patch I have trained a fleet (four third rates) in Gibraltar and did not have a CTD. Nor did I have one while sailing along the Caribbean with a fleet with third rates transporting an army. On request from Faction Heir I sailed all around the West Indies with that fleet while clicking on it, but I didn't experience any CTD. I had on some occasions a freeze of several seconds after clicking on a ship. There were several sloops and brigs also transporting agents and armies back to Europa and sailing through the Caribbean. During my try run I split the fleet and and combined the two parts into one fleet again.

Remains the question while a lot of people are having this bug and why a lot of people don't have it.

[Elmar Bijlsma]

btw,
You can "fix" it by having another ship join the CTD fleet. Select something other then that fleet, and it should reset it. For a while anyway, ETW still need a few seconds to sort itself out every time you select that fleet and will CTD eventually.
I have a sloop tailing my battle fleet now. Aside from having a fix for the CTD issue close by, it's a rather nice enemy fleet magnet, drawing in your main fleet.

[MikeV]

New CTDs:

• RTI now exits to main menu when you satisfy all campaign conditions, even < 1825.
• Unloading troops in port
• Merging units (via ^M, drag'n'drop seems to work)
• Taking a faction's last city

Seems like we've regressed a bit, in this patch. So, I'm not optimistic about future ones.

New odddities:

• Selecting a fleet that's transporting an army causes the UI to select the army tab
• Attempting to move that fleet provokes "Can't go there" response

"If you are a dee (programmer), please don't marry a dee (game company).
'Cause then your kids (programs) will be ... dee dee dee."

[Hotspur]

There's a CTD when you perform multiple transfers onto naval units in a turn. As an example: Start campaign as GB, load Marlborough and co onto the Channel fleet, move the Channel fleet to Dublin/Ireland, when loading more units from Ireland the game crashes immediately.

Is it possible that they have lost their trade ports, or their connection between their trade ports and their capitals? In my GB campaign I was trading with the Ottoman Empire according to the diplomatic screen, but that trade was not showing up in trade screen. This was because Austria had captured the Istanbul region which contained their trade port. Since their capital now was just above Transylvania their remaining port in Mesopotamia was no longer connected with their capital and they could no longer trade by sea. I have seen the same with the UP. We were trading partners but when they lost Flanders and the Netherlands to France (they still have Westphalia) trade stopped.


Bug: You still can get a Heroic victory for beating a couple of peasants with a full stack. I just defeated the army of some Spanish captain, he had two units of colonial cavalry and three units of natives and I was rewarded a heroic victory. All my units have been given a Victoria Cross for bravery. heh heh!

Recruitment & upkeep costs: I thought they were supposed to scale with difficulty? They are the same for Hard and Very Hard.

CTD on disembarking a single unit: New GB campaign, I embarked the army in Ireland (minus the pikeman) on the fleet in the Irish sea, and docked at the dockyard. Had a CTD when I selected just the general for disembarking and hit the OK (check mark) button. I could disembark the whole army without a problem.

I experienced the same bug last night (on a post patch3 new campaign). To clarify, it happens when only part disembarking a stack loaded on a fleet at port. i.e. selecting one of 2 units for transfer from ships to land and clicking on the transfer button.

I haven't tried this when landing troops away from a port.

Disembarking the whole army and re-embarking the desired troops back on the ships is a work around.

I encountered the same bug disembarking a unit from a fleet in Jamaica. Disembarking on land instead of the harbor did not cause crash though.

GB - VH/H

I've had the same embark/disembark problem. I think it's actually not hte UI updating or something like that. For example, you can disembark all of your units from a fleet and the Army tab doesn't appear in the UI. If you select something else - another town for example - then back on the port, the UI has updated andhte army tab is available.

Goddam sodding landlocked fleets still isn't fixed. This is sooooo frustrating. This used to happen all the time and has happened within the first few turns of my new campaign, rendering my entire fleet useless and making me start again. My entire fleet was in port a the Leeward Isles (might be windward but who cares) and an indiaman passing by on the way to Brazil. After ending turn, both the indiaman and the fleet were completely landlocked. Everywhere you try to move them has a cross for a pointer and you get "fleets go on water, sir" from your irritating captains.

Fleets stuck on same spot still isn't fixed. Again, has happened very early on. A barbary states fleet was raiding one of my trade routes, but occupying the same bit of sea as a Spanish fleet. Both were completely stuck and so I couldn't stop them raiding without either attacking Spain or Destroying Barbary thingies.

Naval battle AI still a bit retarded. In my first post-patch naval battle, I was a lone indiaman caught out by a pirate Fluyt and Galleon. Bad news. I had the wind behind me and headed towards them , getting off a few shots and circling round the back to cross the T from the rear. They just kept on going... and going ... and going. In a straight line, straight into the wind. WTF? It wasn't until I'd severely damaged one of them that they suddenly turned on me and started fighting but I'd guess I got off 20 or more volleys before they changed course. I won.

[Mr Frost]

I've noticed skirmishers {infantry at least} won't skirmish when reloading .

I know this has been the T.W. standard for at least the last 2 previous games , but given how long it takes to reload a musket it is epic silly to the point it should be called a bug .
If they're being charged , they don't have time to finish loading anyway {as melee interupts the cycle , death also interupts it} thus the "feature" is not only useless , but it also is basically bugging the skirmish feature {which is only really usefull if your unit can actually use its' missile weapon} to the point of being also useless .

For what it's worth , the unit I discovered this with was the French Light Infantry {whom got squashed by charging British Line Infantry} .

Afghanistan Map Bug
There are a few territories to the east of Persia and the west of India that seem to belong to Afghanistan. However, they do not appear on the world map in the lower left corner when you're looking at the campaign map. Also, when you hold Belughistan (sp) and you go to the Policies window, the first time it will say India but show you the Europe map. If you cycle through the 3 theaters, India will not show up and Europe will show up twice (one of those times it's meant to show you the tax policies for the Indian theater). I think there's some map error where some features, like the Policies window, know that Afghanistan is in the Indian theater, but the map on the Policies page is bugged. The world map in the lower left corner of the campaign map also appears to not recognize the Afghan regions.

[Karash]

Fleet Arrival Bug

If your fleet arrives at a different theater in the same spot as an AI fleet, your ships will be bugged (not movable), and you have to scuttle them. Seems to kill the AI fleet as well but they do not scuttle, they just leave them in place for the remainder of the game.

[maestro]

I found a Dragoons bug in the battle map. Whilst playing as GB, fighting a dirty pirate mob, I had my dragoons dismounted to get a few volleys of and then told them to mount up for a withdraw and charge. However, a couple of the dragoons got caught in the open (literally less than five men) before they managed to mount up and entered melee combat. The problem is that the rest of the platoon just sat there on their horses and did nothing. I couldn't move them, I couldn't dismount them, I couldn't do anything with them - they just sat on their horses and watched their mates die... then continued to sit there.

Afghanistan Map Bug

That has always been so, from day 1. It is not new to the patch.

Ah. Due to CTD bugs (fixed by this patch), I've never been able to play long enough to reach that part of the map before. Can't hurt for CA to know it's still there.

Minor Graphical Bugs
- The town of Mohawk in Iriquois Territory has a tree growing up in the middle of the town.
- When Madrid builds city walls, the top ^ shape that represents the walls on the campaign map is built into the mountains to the north of the city.
