The Cursed Fleet |
Lead | ||
|
I have just concluded a successful war against Spain to the effect that their new homeland is southern Italy. But now I have a sizable fleet off Cape
Trafalgar, with, as it turns out, HMS Victory as the flagship. Unfortunately, I cannot move this fleet to dry dock to repair battle damage, because every
time I try to give it orders, the game crashes. Every thing else works fine, and I can operate normally with every other unit. Alas, it seems that HMS
Victory will have to remain on permanent patrol.

This seems to be quite a common problem. I gave up my sweden campaign when my three main fleets (with my three elite armies) began suffering from the same bug
after reaching the Americas. A real shame.

I'm having the same trouble. Ive got a few ships down off the coast of gibraltar. I just destroyed the spanish and they splintered into factions. Now if
I click those ships the game crashes.
I wasn't sure if it was associated with the ship pathing lag that occurs when I click on a ship between the english channel (20+ second freeze as the game calculates pathing routes due to the ridiculous number of french ships stacked on the trade lines) and down to gibraltar (much shorter freeze) |

Well, after numerous crashes to desktop just by clicking on it, I discovered that if I moved a ship near it and added it to that fleet, then I was able to move
the ship once again without crashing. When I deselected that fleet and clicked on them again they were no longer CTD bugged.
I then loaded the fleet with troops and sent them on their merry way. I then tried to click the port right next to where the bugged fleet was, a port filled with ships. Instantly i crashed to desktop. :( Unfortunately the fleet in port is a full fleet of 10, so i cant add another ship to it as a work around. |

tried to things with the bugged fleet in port:
Attempted to move another fleet in and trade a ship out from the bugged fleet, and add a ship from the unbugged fleet. Game instantly crashed to desktop. Attempted to move an infantry unit into the port and add them to the fleet. It worked, but the second I clicked on a ship in the port's window the game crashed to desktop. Can't really think of anything else to try. Possibly destroying the dock, but that doesn't force the ships out of port I dont think. Possibly if I could bait the enemy into raiding that port, but it's in the heart of my lands so most likely not going to happen. |

Yeah, I have this same issue!
I play as Sweden, and my biggest fleet with 5 second rates and 3 third rates doesnt work... it just stands there in the western atlantic. When I press the fleet it just freezes and eventually crashes. :( |

Haven't build one yet. If I read correctly I shouldn't?

nah, go ahead.. it's a fairly rare bug.. and it has only happened to two out of my 50+ fleets. Also, once it happens you can keep playing, just dont click
on the cursed fleet.

enemy created a giant army

Have also had this happen, and also fixed it by adding a sloop to the fleet. I just hope CA is aware of this problem as several of my friends have also had
this happen.

Yeah my game crashes after my fleet kills another fleet and captures a ship. The other ship still shows up on the map if I click on it my whole game crashes..
If I don't click and just wait till it sinks it seems to be ok. Really freaking annoying that ship battle took an hour.

Normally effects Fleets with 1st,2nd and 3rd Rates only. Its a miscalculation on distance moved. The System does not calculate correctly and causes it to bug
out.
Just move a Sloop to a bugged/stuck fleet releases it to be used again as a fleet moved at the lowest ships distance.

I tried this with some heavy first rates and it didn't work for me. when I split the ships up again it caused a CTD. Most frustrating!
