How to skip Douar-an-Enez battle?

[Ansiktslos]

Greetings.
Is there any way to completely avoid this damned Douar-an-Enez sea battle and the following battle on the coast?
Every time I try to finish it, the game bugs out. It used to freeze during the naval battle, but with minimal settings and the game running in 640*480 window the naval battle eventually finishes. After that
a) game crashes instantly after "disembarking" dialogue with rgl_error;
b) game freezes before the cutscene;
c) game gradually loses fps and freezes after the fight has begun
d) TBA.

I've searched the forum and know that Douar-an-Enez battle has issues on even relatively fast computers. So, the question is: can I completely skip it without having to load backed up savegame? Really, waiting for anouther hour-long slideshow called "Douar-an-Enez naval battle" just to make sure the game bugs again is a pain.
Maybe there is a way to edit savefile or skip it through cheat menu, or something else? Help, please. I do not want to cheat, I want to progress in the main story.

try the beta or wait for RE release, we made changes in this mission to take into account battle-size configuration (for low end computers)

Hi Ansiktslos,
This battle is an important part of the storyline. Therefore you should manage to play it 
About low fps, it is normal since the naval battle is the most demanding battle of the game.

a) game crashes instantly after "disembarking" dialogue with rgl_error;

Could you show us a screenshot of that? Rgl_log and rgl_config would be also helpful.

d) TBA.

What is that?

I think he is joking. TBA = To be announced.

I never even get to the battle. When I picked up Beda I accidentally skipped the attack of Sven's men. With Beda in my party I travelled to Lundenwic to meet the Old Sea Captain. I've waited for days but the Captain keeps telling me he is busy. I already tried to disband Beda from my party by using cheats but when I want to pick him up from the Boar Cave the game won't allow me to leave because "there is someting moving beneath the undergrowth." How can I sail from the Lundenwic port to Douar en Enez?

If I need to send my savegame to someone who can fix it I will be happy to do it.

Boar grave quest - beda joining - then visit old captain in lundenwich or bebbanburh depend on your side.

I did it in exactly that order but everytime I talk to the captain he says he is to busy. I never get to leave the port.

I noticed that when disembarking on the shore, sometimes your troops will jump straight into too deep water and drown. My troops were also stuck on the ship. The first time I didn't position my ship far enough to the left and I also drowned when I got out of the ship.

Is it possible to actually do as Aelfred says and bring the Asturian warriors to Wessex (and saving Bodo)? I didn't notice any dialog options that might have let me arrest the traitor immediately, but from the way Aelfred chastized me when I got back, it sounded like there might have been more possible outcomes. They would have been a great help at Ascendun too, although me and the Saxons somehow managed it without them.

Hi melvin,
Could you send us your savegame? You might be forgetting about something (read carefully the missions and messages)

Thank you. Must be fixed. EDIT: Fixed.

I have this problem. Something is funny with the graphics after I am done with the naval battle.

I am completely stuck because of this bug.

He Plantis,
Thank you for reporting your issue.
Can you give us more info (os, specs, rgl_log...) and provide a savegame so We can check it?

Plants, I have the same issue, by enabling cheats I knock out everyone and pass to the next point in the story. But my game crashes right after that.... Did you get a resolve ?

 

[Idibil]

Hello Baron Arald,

Do you get this problem by reducing the number of troops in battle? It seems that this problem could be related to how the computer manages a large number of troops in a battle as big as this one.
