Your standard answer will be to reinstall the game and Floris but you need to give more detail. Are you suing floris lite, expanded, full? What do you mean changing the arenas? You tried modding it etc?

No matter what I set the arena as in a town, whenever I enter it it's always an open field with everyone spawning right next to each other. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to fix this?

Is this a new save in the current version (2.55) or did you carry a 2.54 game over into 2.55?  This is assuming you're using 2.55 anyway.

Did you alter your scene files in any way?

Have you altered the source files on your own?  (Possibly overwritten the values stored so that the tournament system knows which scenes go to which towns).
 
So my game starts lagging on the world map rather awfully after about 2 hours of every new game, at which point it would probably just freeze had I not quit earlier.
This speaks to me as a memory problem, considering restarting the game doesn't fix it. Then again I am not expert when it comes to hardware. Now I'm thinking about semi-upgrading my laptop (laptop works better for me. The thing was around mid-range at the time of my purchase).
I would like to ask if you think this is something I can fix -- with a laptop I'm pretty screwed when it comes to CPU and GPUs front, but I can upgrade my RAM to up to 16G DDR3. I will probably upgrade at least to 8G RAM regardless but I'm wondering if the additional RAM would help the case.
Also the lag occurs on both gameplay and expanded.

My specs:
CPU: Intel i7-3630QM 2.40GHz
RAM: 4G
Graphic Card: GT 650M
HDD: 1TB
OS: Win7-64bit

Thanks in advance.
 
Could you share an rgl log with us from after the stuttering?

You may also want to check out the POP Faq, i believe they have a warband memory cleaner linked there. Warband is very bad when it comes to cleaning up after itself, so the tool may solve things for you.

Just for future reference: This type of stuff belongs into the support thread. Technical problems are most often (if not answered in the FAQ) not a quick question/quick answer thing.

Well, took me a while to re-download the mod and replicate the stuttering... but the game crushed for the first time ever. It was only minutes into the game and I wasn't able to do much, so the stuttering hasn't kicked in yet. The CTD happened the moment I tried to hunt down the bandits from the merchant quest. Mind you it is the first time I used DX7 instead DX9.

Yeah I tried that one, didn't seem to help. I don't know if me running the game through steam has anything to do with it tho.

Aye, I'll keep that in my mind. Sorry about that.
 
Are you also crashing on dx9? I presume load textures on demand is ticked?

Your rgl log seems fine. Warband is using all of your memory.

I switched to DX9 and turned down the shadow, texture, etc, and it didn't crash. I don't know what the issue is but it seems to be gone for now.
Also Load Texture on Demand has always been on, and is still on. I started a new game about an hour ago, and I think I'm starting to get a little stuttering but it's too insignificant right now...
 
Is the stuttering limited to battles? Particularly are you experiencing it with cavalry? If that is the case, it could be related to the dust particles in Floris. To fix that you could either turn off the particles (will also remove blood) or use the alternative dust file linked in the FAQ.

Battle seems fine, I set both battle size limit to 100 and it runs well; it's really just when I'm on the world map when it lags. It's probably all that political and some other stuffs.
At any rate more RAM is probably better since it's been used up.

1 - It is a new save
2 - The only alterations I used were the reduced dust cloud effects, everything else coming straight out of the Floris installation.

I did manage to recover the arena yesterday; it turns out I was somehow missing all my scene props from vanilla!  :roll:
However, now my problem is that all I can get is the overhauled arena (selecting native arena in options does nothing!)  :???: ...
 
I modified some troops and items in my 2.54 version and I checked the change log for Floris 2.55 and it seems that there hasn't been any changes done to the troop and item.txts.

Would it be safe to assume that I could just copy and paste my old item/troop.txts to port over the changes that I did?

Also it's best to start a new save, since many changes to troops (particularly level and skills) wouldn't reflect in an existing save anyway.
 
Hi all.

When a companion auto-sells what's in his inventory, is the selling price based on his trade skill, not player's?

I've the same. I'm playing a new 2.55 Floris gameplay instal. I only get the open field when i enter the arena, not in tournaments. Since i only enter the arena when asking for next tournament locations, its not really bugging me. Just thought i'd let you know.

Trade is party skill, so i guess it just uses the highest available. Not sure though.
 
Is there any way  to assign my main character to something other than the default infantry division?

When I join a battle with one of my companions as commander my main shows up in that battle as well (unless wounded).  The problem is that I can't command them effectively because they are attached to the infantry division.  I've tried bringing up the party screen during the pre-battle planning which does give me the option but it doesn't seem to work.  Obviously assigning every infantry troop to a custom division is impractical at best.

The information in both quotes are true.  In 2.55, I did not change any troops or items so any 2.54 changes should be directly transferable to my knowledge.
 
Edit: Just found out that the marshal screen was a Mount and Blade thing, and was removed with Warband. Woopsies. Hahaha.  :oops: Well, the whole multiple battles in town/fortress siege thing still stands. If anyone can shed light on why that is, please do. Perhaps it has something to do with reinforcements? I have battlesizer up to 390 troops, so perhaps all the troops get expended before we can have a castle fight? Not sure, so please enlighten me! xD



Hey guys, quick question here, but do you guys not have the old "pick-a-marshal screen" of vanilla warband? If you do not remember what that looked like, here is a 2 min youtube video showcasing it.

http://youtu.be/wsV2zCUSISI

Second, oddly enough, 2nd/3rd stage town and castle combat is something that I have never experienced in the Floris compendium. For whatever reason, after winning the initial wall breach, I immediately am victorious for the whole battle. This speeds things up considerably, but it does lessen my enjoyment just a bit.

Here is a video of this 2nd/3rd stage battle. http://youtu.be/-_xmAxx5uoQ?t=4m21s

I know that these two things, if they were taken out, can be seen as convenience fixes, as they really were just time-padders, but I really liked the them for mood setting reasons. It felt great feeling like I had to compete with the AI for prestige and glory, and it allowed me to see quickly who was on my side. For the extra battles, it just made the towns that much more epic.

Anyway, take care!
 
The 2nd/3rd stages of a siege were disabled in Floris sometime before the 2.5 release.  Whether that was intentional or caused indirectly I can't say for certain.

Thank you for the prompt reply. So, that is a bit of a shame. Is there a bit of code that could be changed to bring it back? I bet that is a lot of work, so if that is something that must be relegated to the dustbin of time, so be it. Perhaps the wrong place to ask, but does Silverstag have that issue?
