[1.1] General bugs

from Elemental Forums

Hi all !

Yeah, i know i'm the little noob that knows nothing and so on... So no use to introduce myself or whatever.

 

If i'm here it's only to post some bugs that i found in the last version so let's go for it :

 

- Fog of War bad reinitialisation.

After 150 or 200 turns the revealed fog of war on cities or troops don't reapear if you raze the city or if you move the troops. So in the case of the cities you get a permanent revealed location even if there is nothing yours anymore at this place. Same on the troops but only if you reload the game. When you reload a save the initial sight of the troops will stay revealed. This problems is partialy debugged if you reload the save for the cities. (then the cities sight get again there fog of war.)

- Demon spell image missing

- Music volume

The battle music volume is divided in drums and the rest of the music. Sometimes the music is very low and the drums at normal volume. Same with the starting music (peace music when you start the game)

- Order of Draginol does nothing.

 

So that's it for now. Of course the game is still crashing badly. (almost every 1h30 or 2h) They seem to be 3 crash categories : crash to desktop with stable windows, crash with out of memory error (can turn a windows to unstable), general crash that resets directly the computer. Those crashes are unpredictable and are not linked to a direct visible action in the game.

(sorry but i don't have the auto generated logs of the game)

 

System conf :

ati hd 4850 512mb

Core duo 2 8400

4GB ram

Audigy 2 value

 

Out of this... Great game guys ! And good ideas ! The game is evoluting in the good way. :thumbsup:

About the crashes you get :

In a modern operating system (like windows or Linux, if you didn't know what it means), a standard program cannot accidentally reboot the computer. What can is either a hardware failure, a system bug (quite rare on most configurations) and driver crash. So if you have those and you didn't do it yet, my advice is to update all your drivers, especially the video drivers and the sound drivers (as you get sound bugs). Moreover, ATI is a specialist of half tested drivers, but they correct them over time... It may also help your CTDs (Crash To Desktop) as buggy drivers may send bad informations that causes a program to crash.

Mmh, well then, tell me why only E:WOM is crashing like this and not the other games ? By the way i always have the last versions of all the drivers on my machine. Because if it was the drivers then i should have problems on other games. o_O

But i forgot something, i'm running all this on XP pro SP3 32

 

Yet another bug :

 

- Sacrifice creates a enchantement icon in the enchantement bar of the caster and do not disapear automaticaly. You must dispel the "sacrifice enchantement" to get rid of the icon.

(forgot this one last time :P )
