is it just me?

[zaracassie]

Hi new to this game yet i have problems eveytime i log on, the game stops working after a few mins in to the game i have no idea why.

[razorbackjac]

You need too patch to 105a this will make the game run awhole lot better if your machine is in Spec's.

[color="Blue"]Since this in any case seems to be a tech issue, let's move it to the tech forum [/color]

[zaracassie]

currently sitting at 1.05c and after the likes of a turn it just encounters a problem and stops.

I don't think it is my specs:

Vista
Intel core quad 2.4GHz
3gb ram
Nividia Geforce 8600gs
et other shiz

[calvinus]

Strictly turn-based mode + army-by-army activation?

If yes, this is a regression bug that you will find fixed with the 1.05c update that Philippe will publish soon (today).

Otherwise, post here a zipped savegame.

last night i played my longest time ever i played for some 2 turns before it crashed!

which finally meant i understood how reinforcements can be deployed by me, but along with the crash i noticed that my diplomats do absolutly nothing, i send them to countries and they do nothing in the original version they were able to do stuff but not now.


I don't know how to post save games but i will try

You have to assign them on a mission for the country they are currently in, and there is a maximum of one mission per side per turn (this restriction was not there before).

Also, are you using the latest patch?

[zaracassie]

yeah am using the latest patch, if its limited to 1 mission per side(central powers or each country) then how can it be that after diplomatic phase it has several diplomatic effects by the ai.

also it ain't letting me upload my save game

[PhilThib]

The only phase where there are many action is the special August 1914 turn. In all other turns, you have:

- Max 2 actions (1 CP, 1 Entente)
- some events once in a while, with diplomatic consequences (e.g. Portugal joining the war in 1916 or torpedoeing of ships affecting the USA)
- rarely, the AI playing a diplomatic stratagem...
-

If you see more than that, then something is wrong, and we would like a save...

It's only the initial August diplo phase, like Phil said.

Other than that, you can see multiple effects (not missions!) if a country joins the war (others react), or someone declares war on a country (USA gets angry a bit)

[zaracassie]

ok, am back. Unfortunatly for you all!


Right got the newest patch in and boom massive reduction in being able to do anything. I now can't move armies!


On a side note any file i try to upload i get "invalid files" or "upload error"

Delete your WW1 install. Do a new clean install and patch. I don't know if it will solve your troubles but maybe...

Sorry to hear that; can you provide more info about it and things such what type of browser you're using?

Feel free to PM me about it if you prefer

i notice when i uninstall it it still keeps my saves should i try and hunt them down and delete them as well?

[PhilThib]

Better if they are from "older" versions...some are not working well with latest patch...so better safe than sorry

[zaracassie]

Ok uninstalled then reinstalled, works well butkeeps crashing still,

Is the Problem with vista?

My anti virus - mcfee, soon to be avg? What do the guys whos comps don't crash use?

Something else?

[calvinus]

Try disabling the antivirus.
For some antivirus programs, this is even not enough, and you are forced to uninstall it.

I'm building a "black" list of the antivirus/firewalls that make the game not working...

I also have Vista, but my anti-virus is Norton. I am having *touch wood* no problems with CTD.

[zaracassie]

Last night i disabled all sound effects, turned off my anti virus and for the first time i got to play the game for what it is, it was amazing except for a few stange things like it calling my lvl 1 ambassadors lvl 0 and an allie causing an uprising in my lands.


Thanks for all the help!

Good to hear.

Calling lvl 1 ambassadors lvl 0: read better the tooltip/red message, it concerns also the max number of dip. missions per alliance.

Edit: for mutinies/uprisings vs yourself, yesterday night I added a trick that should avoid such stupid AI behaviors.

Although I have not played much , I think I do not really have anti-virus related CTD. I use AVG (AV + firewall paid version) on my desktop and Avast free (+ Windows firewall) on a laptop.

As a side note, let me advice you that suggesting that a player must disable his anti-viris/firewall to play a game might not be a good idea...

Ok, i just find it annoying not being able to make diplomacy every turn

[calvinus]

You are probably playing in 4-players mode and your AI ally plans the one-available dip. mission, so making you unable to do the same. Next patch 1.05G (that will published tomorrow) will make your AI ally unable to plan such dip. mission.

Finally no more trying to convince sweden to stop sending aid to Germany whilst my eastern front of Russia and Serbia fight Germany, Austria-hungary and bulgaria.

It is truly getting worrying, Germany seems to be shipping troops from the western front where it is fighting France, Belgium and Britian to the eastern front where it is fighting little old me. Also it doesn't help that over half my army is reservist and mobilised ranked troops

Oh a point for me to make, I was creating artillery through builden them when i accidentilly canceled my order which was one month from completion, is there any way you can create a warning or something about this(or at least a different colour from white vs the cream back ground, something like red)?

Surely it can be done. My main problem is time and priorities. As soon the 1.04G will be published and then become public, I will be able to go back working on the pending issues: #1 Combat Logs and #2 AI improvements. These issues are extremely time consuming, so I do not know how much time you will have to wait for...
