Post problems you encounter with your game here, and most likely someone will find a solution.
This is a list of the bugs or maybe confusing situations you may encounter:
Q-Why don't i see the changes from the beta III ?
A-You didn't overwrite the beta II files with the ones in the beta III correctly, beta III is a patch that need to overwrite the beta II files. Take everything inside the beta III folder, copy and paste over the files in the 1812 folder.
Q-The game crash with rgl error, asking me for a missing file when i launch the module ?
A-You probably haven't installed the module in the correct order, first the Beta II, then the Beta III and this should solve the missing file bug. This is because i didn't uploaded a full release, it's a patch.
Q-When i'm loading my savegame items are messed up, boots in weapon slots etc and soldiers are naked !
A-This is because the beta III is not save-game compatible, items have been displaced/remove/updated and therefore your savegame is acting like nothing has changed and loaded the old item_kinds definition. => start a new game.
Q-When i start a new game with another starting army, town names and villages are native ! (not sure, but might happen)
A-Starting armies haven't been updated, only the french one should works without issues, sorry, this will be fixed soon.
Q-When i start a new game i get a black screen after choosing my character background !
A-Code has bugs and choosing your father trait as "nobleman" will cause either a black screen or crash to desktop. Pick anything else but nobleman on the first character background choice box and it will work fine.
Q-When i start a new game my inventory has some shakos and medieval stuff !
A-This is because current release didn't alter the code related to character background creation. It keeps the items given on players depending on their background choices. This will be fixed in next release.
Q-When i travel i encounter super big and strong deserters !
A-This is normal ... and not normal, deserter parties are a pain in the ... to fix and will be hopefully corrected in next patch. Avoid them, buy them out, or simply crush them if you have a strong enough army.
Q-When i try to enter a city streets it crash to desktop !
A-This is a bug probably caused by computer memory usage, for now it can't be fixed by me, but we're working on this. Avoid entering city streets when you don't have any particular reasons to do so. Use the menu to intereact with cities, every tavern/shops/castle hall etc works fine.
Q-I get a crash to desktop when entering some villages !
A-Same as above, it does not happen often with villages though, but beware, save often !
Q-Lords don't suggest me to be a mercenary or kings don't wan't me to become a vassal !
A-This is because you don't have a high enough renown. Fight some battles, gain around a hundred renown points, then you'll be able to play big.
Q-My starting army is far bigger than the troops i'm supposed to be able to field !
A-This is normal, yet i think i'll fix that in time. Try to fight battles soon to level up and get the loot to sell. Hire companions when you get the chance if you have enough space. Focus your evolution on leadership/charisma for the first 10 - 15 levels, because you won't stand a chance with small size armies.
Q-I'm tired of buying food everytime !
A-Game has an option to automatically buy food based on what's available in the settlement and what money you have left, simply check the lower part of the menu when entering a town or village.
Q-I can't recruit cavalry yet even if i have some high level troops !
A-Cavalry is elite and recruitable only near the end of troop trees, just upgrade your troops and you will find cavalry units for every factions.
Q-Cavalry is decimating my soldiers during battle !
A-Use strategic manoeuvers to counter bands of riders, it's difficult, but even a low level army can beat down a bunch of cuirassier provided you can stop them in their charge with a compact block of bayonets !
Q-I can't prepare my battles with the pre-orders and deployment feature !
A-You need a certain amount of skill in tactics before you can plan battles with hostile parties and sieges/village raids.
This list is probably not enough, yet i hope it will cover a lot of the common issues we are discussing here over time. Will add more if there's more ... And if i can remember them all ^^ !
