Been playing 1914 scenario and French 1,2,3rd armies has mandatory attack. But restriction can be bypassed by giving movement order and then cancelling the move. I remember it is much better after patches but for mandatory attack to be mandatory is it better to play strict turn based mod? How anyone handle it in pbem?

oh, good thing you mentioned mandatory attacks, I meant to write about them for quite a while. It seems the AI is quite free of avoiding them (not attacking when it has to). Is that WAD?

Yes, it's a WAD as it caused stupid bottlenecks and AI freezes.

I'm not a huge fan of the mandatory attacks and would have preferred objectives tied to a significant loss of National Will for failure to capture but without a corresponding gain for success. But that's just me.

I have gotten the new patch to run with my GC Naval Mod. Copied the stock the Maps and Scenarios folders to the modded DB folder (the GoldMaps and GoldScenarios folders were already there) and the crash no longer occurs when the Mod is activated using JSGME.

No idea why this works, it makes no sense based on my understanding of how WW1G and JSGME manage files. So, obviously I have been understanding incorrectly and I know less (probably much less) than I thought I did. Am still working on a fix for those who use the Naval Mods but not JSGME to activate them.

ok, thanks!

One more question: how significant the river-crossing MP-bug be? During my MP tests in the past I always got out of synch pretty fast but you can't really have a meaningful turn without crossing major rivers :) Would it worth for me to try an MP game again?

I believe it was a significant cause of synch loss.

Is your mod up to date here?

The files should be. The version below has been formatted to be JSGME ready for activation in WW1G but the individual files should be unchanged as I recall.

Thanks for chasing this, it is much appreciated.

Since installing this patch (no mods) WW1 crashes in turn 2 after resolving battles and sieges. I tried it 4 times, and half the time it crashes with a debug error and the other half with no debug error, but to Windows. The crash has the following error message:

I will investigate on these crashes.

The latest revision of 1.08Q has added a new version of irrKlang lib.
So quick question, do crash happen also with sounds and musics off? :confused:

Yes, no change. Looking at the LogError.txt it seems to be a map related problem. I'm using a clean install with no mods here.

I don't think so. Those logs are just warnings.

I will try tonight with a clean install + patch, with sounds activated or not.
I'll try to spend some time also on the naval mod crashes.

Thanks for your patience. :love:

When I'm back at my pc, I'll try the save with sounds off as well, perhaps it helps.

Turning off all sound worked for me, the turn advanced and did not crash :) Of course I'd like to be able to turn the sound on; I'm sure you can fix this, Calvinus? Rangers, have you tried turning off the sound in the Configurator? (that is what I used) What other settings do you use?

Yes, didn't help. I have used various settings to test it out. Something in the latest patch made the game go belly up for me.

Ok, I reproduced the crash, with sounds on. But the CTD is strongly inside some DLL of Windows, heap corrupted, and it requires a long step into assembler debugging to catch the calling function within the source code of WW1, if any... :wacko:

Only had "exe stop working" crash during war plan phase. I got around with setting vsync on both from ingame and graphic card . GC in which I have played in one session till mid 1916 didn't have single crash or debug error with music and sound.

Random thanks for the mod. I will try, but it has been while since I have last used JSGME.

I tried the Naval Mod, no crash during the WarPlans phase, or after that phase.

Please note I created the Data folder of the Mod in the correct way:
1) I copied the entire Data folder into a 'NavalModData' directory;
2) I unzipped the Naval Mod files into the proper sub-folders of the NavalModData dir;
3) I set the modding path to NavalModData with the WW1 Configuration tool.

And you can keep the sound on with those settings? Might try setting that in my video card's settings.

I just tried a few times now, this time playing as Entente there is an exe crash during execution of war plans. I wonder if is it related to donating ships. Usually entente AI gives the battleships so no crash .
And yes if there is no crash after war plan phase, I change settings of only vsync. Music and sound are always on.

When trying Entente I choose give battleships to Turkey this time. That didn't seem to crash. now that also crashed !! :bonk: It is interesting that no other crash occur throughout the game for me;played 2 full campaigns overall with this beta but that event or war plans have something. My guess of course.

EDIT: Thank you Calvinus. :D

Well I just found only one cause of crash, indeed introduced by the latest revision of 1.08Q.
It was not determined by the option actually selected, but it was a mistake in the implementation of EAI_NotGoodFor new Events AI tweaking feature.
Fixed now, it will come with the new patch.

But I still have to fix the other CTDs, those reported by poweraxe...

So stay tuned! :)

I uploaded a new revision of Beta Patch 1.08Q, download links are unchanged. This revision fixes the crashes reported for Events and WarPlans phase.

Edit: I'm experiencing no more crashes with the savegame of poweraxe, sounds on.
