ETW Bug storage

ETW problems as usual. Crashes / graphical glitches / hidden assets on campaign map.

feeds@yuku.com (musketdan) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:02:13 GMT

Hi.

After staying away from the game for several months due to massive gameplay issues. I've decided to try ETW again hoping for a change. Im hugely dissappointed in the results of this.

After a couple of hours of play I've witnessed graphical glitched, crashes and a whole campaign map without anything visible other than the map and armies. I can no longer play the game from a save or from the very start without all assets on the campaign map dissappearing. The...

This will always hpapen when palying as the british , and you combine the 2 navies you start with near the bahamas then put them in the bahama port soon after. Please fix. Thanks

Revolution then game locks

feeds@yuku.com (vonDobeln) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:57:43 GMT

I'm currently playing the Russian in GC and made a revolution happen. I fight off the royalist forces in a long battle with reinforcements coming in to both sides from all directions. I invade an empty Moscow and get the Revolution success video which I watch to the end and the window goes white. Then I want to close the video window and continue my campaign, but the window refuses to close and the only thing I can do is Alt-tab out of the game and quit from the event manager! WTF!!! Has...

More men than usual!!!

feeds@yuku.com (KED) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:40:02 GMT

During my French campaign I rebuilt many of my regiments due to losses. Late in the campaign and only in Europe I have had some units with fantastic numbers of men appear. A 24 pound howitzer unit with 95 men and Cavalry units with as many as 150+ men. They eventually lose enough men and return to normal strength but this is strange. I even had a grenadier unit with 160 men. In a battle that unit took some losses and so did its partner of 80 men. After the battle I used the over strength...

This is just stupid

feeds@yuku.com (Jajf) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:13:51 GMT

Yesterday I came across this stupid bug that makes your whole army open fire at nothing at all, like light inf tend to do. I believe the cause of this bug is when you order your artillery to cease fire (by disabling fire at will). They wouldn't even stop if I disabled fire at will and moved them a bit. Also I've noticed that fire at will sometimes untoggles itself for no apparent reason.

E:TW Bugs caught on screenshots

feeds@yuku.com (Jajf) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:43:42 GMT

I've decided to start a bug hunting thread where the objective is to catch the bugs on screenshots. I'll start by uploading some bugs I've caught so far:

This was the first time I encountered this particular bug and it was during a sea battle in my GB campaign (the battle took place in the carribean).

2 more bugs

feeds@yuku.com (AncientWargamer) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:02:56 GMT

Russia grenade throwers should throw their bombs at a spot where the enemy will be when they explode, not at their current location! they need a bit of "deflected firing" training (I'll get the flight sim ready)

If I sally out of my fort to attack a beseiger, he shouldn't just stand there within firing range of my cannons (yes, i know they've tweeked the fort cannons to extend their range). plus please add canister shot for fort guns.

CA, don't...

Formation hotkeys disabled with minimised UI

feeds@yuku.com (daniu) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:08:31 GMT

Hi,
just tried out the minimised UI because of its ability to sort the unit groups by their numbers.
Unfortunately, when I do that, the formation hotkey buttons (alt-) don't work anymore (I checked that they didn't change in the options screen).
Can I enable them somehow? I really got used to the hotkeys and don't want to use the formation buttons.

Random CTD's during battles both Campaign and MP post 1.5

feeds@yuku.com (Jester noob) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:43:20 GMT

I don't know if its happening to anyone else but it is to me. Just out at random the game would crash during land battles. Don't know what causes them but at this point it gets annoying cause it happens when I least expect it -_-. At least I'm saving before each battle or else I would be *+%#$$. Thus far I don't know if it happens in naval battles cause I have not been in enough lately to see if they crash.

[Bug] UP special units not availablee

feeds@yuku.com (Tullaris) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:03:39 GMT

As it is now the UP does not have access to its heavy cavalry units: Corps du Garde (DLC EUoftW) and Holland Horse Guard (patch 1.3) cavalry. These units ONLY become available when you become a monarchy instead of the default Republic. As this is obviously not as intended, this bug needs to be fixed asap. You can mod it yourself but I can imagine that there are many players who are unaware of this solution.

This problem has been in since 1.3. I have posted numerous topics about...

Anyone else having troubles changing the game settings from the main menu? The button to cancel the changes works, but the button to accept (the one shaped with a tick) doesn't work when I press it.

Bug - Any Light infantry in skrimish mode

feeds@yuku.com (Nelson V2) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 12:27:58 GMT

Hi All

There are a couple of bugs with light infantry I have spotted...

When light infantry is in skirmish formation;

1. When repositioning the unit and the unit has finished the move, it's firing arc will be in the direction the unit moved and not the direction you've specified. As a work around I've just been tapping the move unit forward key after they have stopped to correct the field of fire.

2. They continue to fire at units once...

Surrendered Ship still in the fight?

feeds@yuku.com (Gustav) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:17:04 GMT

I just fought a custom sea battle with me (Austria) having 2 6th rates against 3 (British) 4th rates.

I was able demast and capture all 3 but as I moved behind one of the ships that had surrendered I noticed them still firing at me.

So bug or Feature?

Campaign Mini-Map Problem: Made worse since 1.4

feeds@yuku.com (PieGod) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:37:26 GMT

There is a problem that I have been having since release, which was always a fixable minor annoyance, but it seems to have been made worse by the new patch. I didn't see any other mentions of this issue here, so I would like to bring it up.

The campaign mini-map, which usually allows you to zoom in or zoom out to the world view has always had problems. If the map is zoomed in when you enter a battle, it becomes glitched when you return to the campaign map. The map goes back...

ATI Radeon 3850, possibly a problem with ATI AGP cards

feeds@yuku.com (emperor77) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 08:35:03 GMT

I tried playing both of the new scenario battles (it took long to load them up, longer than it ever took to load anything before the patch i might add). Once the loading was done the HUD was all messed up, also the game froze rather fast, ended up alt+tabing (which seems to work now) out of it. I haven't tried changing any graphics settings yet, because they worked fine before the patch and i liked those settings. EDIT: All the user interface is messed up in campaign mode as well.

2560x1600, 30 inch monitor menu bug - please fix CA.

feeds@yuku.com (RGS) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 05:52:58 GMT

I know I've posted this info before but just posting again in a new topic as I'd really like it to get fixed and don't want it to be missed (1.4 would be excellent!).

Very simply, the main menu background does not fit the full screen at this high res (leaving black borders at the edges). This would be ok, but rather then just staying black the edges will display the last screen (be it a loading screen, a battle, campaign map, intro movie or whatever) flickering away like...

Map, pathing issues and AI wars needs a fix.

feeds@yuku.com (shuml) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 05:42:13 GMT

There are some cities that has too little land around them for the AI to find a rout around. Copenhagen is one of them. If I capture Copenhagen, for example as I already did, and England landed (yes, naval landing!) in France and wandered towards our common enemy the Swedes. But that stack is now camped in Denmark because it can't find a path to Sweden. And I guess the long way around is not an option for the AI. There are other cities like this that could have used a tile or two extra...

Another bug after 1.3 My ship is forced to intercept huge fleet - Moderator please move to bugs

feeds@yuku.com (HenryClinton) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:55:01 GMT

So I have a frigate playing escort duty. Along comes a huge enemy fleet. The fleet does not come to me. Instead my frigate is asked if it wants so go over and intercept the huge enemy fleet. Of course I don't want it too! But the option not to intercept is grayed out so I have no choice but to engage this big fleet.

I evade the fleet in battle and the battle summary says I have no loses. This makes sense as the wind was in my favor and I outmanuevered the enemy fleet. Then the...
