Bug Report(s)

[Random]

First one, albeit pretty minor.

Selecting an element while in the build unit menu results in a crash to desktop similar to what happens in RUS Gold when you do the same thing. Not a biggie to be sure and the near-term solution is just don't click an element symbol in the unit-build mode but, sometimes in one's excitement to come to grips with the Papist devils, one can forget.

On the other hand, installation went quiet smoothly, the documentation appears thorough, loading and running turns is pretty quick (so far) and the game looks absolutely gorgeous.

Here are a few very minor bugs/errors I found:

* The Community button on the start screen opens the Civil War 2 forum rather than this one.

* In the Advanced Tutorial - Leaders Seniority text on the second line it says "muHst" instead of "must".

* In Thirty Years War - Tips and Maxims 2/3 text there's a period missing at the end of the message. Possibly the most minor issue ever, but I suppose it could leave some people wondering if there is text missing.

thanks, we will fix those things, even the minor ones

Here's another small text error:

In The Paladins intro text once you've loaded the scenario [edit: as HRE], at the second line from the bottom it says "Brusnwick" instead of "Brunswick".

[HeinzHarald]

I decided to read through the entire manual, which was a good thing, I learned more than I had expected to.

While reading I figured I might as well highlight any errors I came across, so I did. I've highlighted both spelling errors, formatting errors, grammatical errors, and factual errors (only one of those, the glossary doesn't agree with the rest of the manual what constitutes a large and small force). You may not agree with me on everything I've highlighted, and that's fine of course.

I don't know if all pdf readers will be able to see the highlights (which start at page 8), but at least Microsoft Reader sees them just fine, and Xodo Docs which is the app I used.

The file was too large to upload directly to the forum, so I decided to use Docs.com. Let me know if you want me to remove the file. It can be downloaded from here:

This is my first upload so I'm not sure what restrictions apply for downloading, but I hope you don't need to register. Let me know if I should upload someplace else.

Protestant artillery from event appear in Prague although it’s under Catholic control (3 times during the game).
Gregory XV option don’t work correctly (no cash, after use it’s active in the box).

I'm playing with the 3rd highest activation level (sometimes leaders who don't pass their activation check will not be able to move at all). However, occasionally the event log will state that a leader and all the units in his army are "active" for that turn, but when I look at that leader and his army on the map they are "fixed" due to a failed activation check. Don't mind an army being fixed, but it's annoying to be told the opposite in the log.

I really like playing at this level of activation. What is confusing about the message is there are actually two activation checks. One at the end of the turn and then another at the beginning of the next turn. What you are seeing is the report for end of turn activation check. While the beginning activation check failure cannot be reported in last turns report. So this is actually a normal behavior, especially for leaders with low activation values. Also, the bonus and penalties for activation at this level compound sustaining the inactive status.

I am have periodic crashes to desktop from what i can tell every 20 minute's during the turn execution somewhat problematic trying to record a series with a crash every 20 mins :')

how do i access crash/error log's?

[Leibst]

Go to the !Main log file in Thirty years War/TYW/Logs folder.

Could this be causing the crash?

[Aldarus]

Units with emplaced guns can move without restrictions.

Could this be causing the crash?

Yes. Try installing the game out of Program files folder. It seem some players have problems with that folder, with Windows 7 if im not wrong.

Will check that Aldarus.

The only manual I have in my game folder is for Civil War II. I can't seem to locate it anywhere. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Windows 7 yes, and ahh okay thank for the speedy response ill get back to once i've tried it but fantastic game, looking forward to making a good long series of it !

The only manual I have in my game folder is for Civil War II. I can't seem to locate it anywhere. Could someone point me in the right direction?

For me, I right click the desktop icon and select 'open file location.' In that folder there is another folder called 'Manual.' In that folder are three documents. Two are the Thirty Years War manuals.

I still just get a Doc folder with CWII manual and no other manuals. Very odd. Thanks anyway.

[Maecenas]

The German Tutorial texts Switch to spanish during the first Tutorial. And Orienanburg north of Berlin should be Oranienburg

[Leibst]

Thanks! Yes there is a bug that affects some texts in Spanish and german. Will be fixed for first patch. And Oranienburg name.

Critical Error executing Turn-34 of the Grand Campaign:

Saved Game and game log:

[ATTACH]34578[/ATTACH]

Error occurred during resolution of a battle and the game then dropped back into the menu page. However, the game would not exit using the "Quit" button and had to be exited using the task manager. Running Win-7 SP3.

Thanks, am thoroughly enjoying TYW.

Edit
Replayed the turn without the battle and the crash did not occur.

[pantsukki]

Some initial observations:
-The pictures for the two sides for the Swedish Intervention scenario seem to be the wrong way round, also the Catholic tooltip says "The Catholic player wins if he breaks the Imperial morale..."
-IIRC in previous titles pushing the Ctrl key while having an army selected used to show the exact numbers of the army, this doesn't seem to be the case anymore, is it WAD?
-At least in the 1630 scenario the cities by default seem to have practically no depots. This, combined with the low amount of supply trains available for recruitment, makes getting reinforcements with the harsher rules quite hard.

[Leibst]

I'm going to check that regarding the text right now.
in TYW and CW2, EAW just move the cursor over the number showinf the power of a unit.
Yes, 1630 is a hard scenario but can be done, its WAD.

[H Gilmer3]

I know it seems like piling on. Is "Ask the pope for help" supposed to work automatically if you choose it, or does it have a chance to fail? In my current game, I have selected it for about 3 turns straight, and I don't get the message that he has sent me help, and he is still available to be selected again.

I am playing as the HRE in the campaign.

Edit: I was the one that asked you about supply on the Matrix forums - problem solved! Build depots!!! What a dunce I am, but I thought that WIA supply rules meant no depots, so never even thought to build them. Supply is now under control.

2nd edit: I am enjoying the game. When you run out of money, it has consequences - your troops are not paid!!! They desert or something, but it certainly does not help!

I suspect that this might be a graphics issue since when the Battle Planner screen first appeared, I had options to choose from. For the last couple of turns however, these have vanished and the only option available is to allow the computer to pick my plan, which seems to defeat the purpose of the Battle Planner. Is this WAD and I am missing something? TYW is my first AGEOD game that uses the battle planner but since it did seem to work and now does not there my be some other thing going on here.

I have seen that as well playing the Bohemian scenario, though only once so far.

I have noted that as the Protestant player, every time I play the "Requisition" decision card I receive the Thalers but never the War Supplies. This also seems to happen with the "Ask England for Aid" diplomatic option as well but not every time. Could you please look into this? Thank you in advance.

[Leibst]

Requutions doesnt give WS. Contribution does. And the English aid always report us 3 WS and 8 T.Thalers.
