    Default Post Your ETW Bugs Here!

    I was playing RtI, Episode 2, and I got to the point where I had to take Montreal and Quebec. So I send my army over the bridge to Quebec and tried to siege the fort in the way. The French sallied out of Quebec to lift the siege. Yet when I got to the battlefield, I was in the fort, not the French. Which was handy as I was heavily outnumbered. Managed to win the battle because of the fortifications, but I was rather puzzled by it all. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

    Welcome to the Orgah Ginger Yellow!

    It does sound weird!

    They came out, and you as defender took up the best position possible in the game AI’s view…I guess…

    Canada seems to have a lot of issues which are raising questions.

    All that gentlemanly nonsense. Why sir, you are severely outnumbered. What say you come in here, and we attack you instead?

    You sir, are a gentleman. I gladly except your generous offer.

    Perhaps you tossed a coin for the fort and they lost?

    I'm merging this into the Bugs thread .

    EDIT: Well that clearly didn't work as well as I had hoped. The bugs thread was merged into this thread.

    Achievements bug:

    Master of the Americas
    Conquer or control all the provinces and regions in the Americas at the same time.

    I got this when taking the first province at the start of the RTI campaign. Presumably because it's restricted to the 2 provinces. 2 provinces is a long way short of being Master of the Americas though :)

    I've encountered a few bugs.

    - I put my ships (a few warships and three trade ships) on the second trade slot in the Brazil trade theatre. After a couple of turns the trade route disappeared, and my ships became stuck. When I tried to tell them to move they acted as if I was telling them to move onto land.

    - In the English channel thrre seems to be an area in the thinest part of the channel which my ships think is land. It is making sailing from the Atlantic to the North sea extremely difficult.

    I mentioned this in another thread, but since this is "official"...

    I switched the unit flags to "On Mouseover" in the preferences, but every time I start a new battle the flags are back, even though the preferences still show "On Mouseover".

    The 'Official' title just means that it is stickied and that it will be a permanent bug list. CA are more likely to see the bugs and fix them if they are all in one easy to find thread. .

    The ai seems to struggle to deal with field fortifications and cover. i watched my mate box in a french army, in a field and they just stood and died cos they didnt know wot to do with the cover. and i also watched him massacre a french army using the trench wall things u can put down, the french just stood in front and did nothing no tactics at all.

    the only other thing i can think of is that sometimes units wont turn their facing to shoot, u tell them to attack someone and they just stand there and do nothing cos their facing is wrong i dont think this is working as intended but i could be wrong

    Battle replays start out with the same units and positioning as when you fought them in the actual campaign, but after that point both sides seem to be controlled by the AI.

    I just watched my army lose a battle which i won spectacularly whilst outnumbered 3-1... which is why i saved the battle.

    I believe this problem was present in previous TW games as well. Barbarian Invasion if i remember rightly.

    No, not really as, even if they fix the bug, you will never get that victory back.

    Anyone else been getting CTDs after starting a revolution? Playing as GB, I sided with the rebels and it's crashed after every turn.

    Also, after a ctd, if I try and restart Empire straight away, it crashes at the second loading screen, and the only way to get out of it is switch the machine off...

    Not a bug.

    If you need to click on something towards the edge of the screen, and then having the screen move over half the map, it would get pretty annoying.

    AI reinforcement bug - its happened to me twice. One of the men in a 120 man unit gets stuck on some piece of geometry outside of the battle zone and doesn't make it inside.

    That means you can't target in any way the unit that's marching onto the field. 119 of 120 men can march to the middle of the field, but the one guy outside the battle zone means you can't attack them, and the next reinforcement unit won't come because the first unit still registers as reinforcing.

    Even if you kill all the men on the field by running your units through them, you can't kill, or even target, the man stuck outside the battle zone, so the battle ends when time runs out, or when you quit.

    I suggest having units lose reinforcing status and becoming regular units when 90% of their men are on the field.

    Default A Lack of a 'Bottom'

    That is the first trait that I recieved that I should not have gotten.

    Let me explain.

    The British are bottled up in the port of Annapolis, Maryland. (I used to live there, its beautiful)
    They have 4 ships. A 5th and 3 6th rates.

    I attack with Adm. John Paul Jones (who just happens to be laid to rest in Annapolis)
    I have 5 ships. One 5th rate, (J.P.J.'s) 3 6th rates, and a Brig.

    After a resounding victory I get a new trait:

    A Lack of 'Bottom'

    John Paul Jones

    -1 morale in battle

    This general has seen fit to run in the face of enemy attacks.
    Much to the dismay of his men.
    It may be possible to lose this trait with a victory in battle.

    Umm, ok.

    Can't wait for Vices and Virtue mods. Anyone else recieved trait the they shouldnt' have?

    No. If he fled I would not have posted because he would have deserved the bad trait. And he would have got this from me.

    Yes. He was in the thick of the fighting with the biggest ship in the battle. His command fired the first and last shots of the engagement.

    I think there might be a problem with fleet battles in the Western English Channel. I was Great Britain with a Fleet of 7 Ships doing battle with an equal amount of French Ships in 1707. After about ten minutes in the battle the game crashed to windows and would not reload. The same thing happened the next time I played the same battle (after having restarted). I was right off the coast of the Plymouth/Exeter region of England. After having tried a third time, it seems that I must automate this battle. I have finished a few naval battles of the same size (the same fleet battled an equal Spanish fleet off Cornwall the turn before) so it is not a system issue, I think.

    I am getting freezes in Naval battles, i noticed when the ammo is switched on Chain, and I attempt to Board a ship, the game freezes and have to End the process or restart computer (I am keeping browser open now to be able to ALT TAB and end the process).

    This happens on the Road to Independence Campaign (haven't started a Grand Campaign yet).

    Also... Montreal should be in Lower Canada not Upper Canada.
