Sub and activate the 17 parts, add/overwrite the data.pack and get a crash to desktop each time I choose a faction. Any help out there?

How do you recruit cavalry for France?

I found a fix for the naval bombardment ctd. I'm not sure how long this fix will last seeing as i've only played 1-2 battles using the feature. In the main menu go to options->sound->sound system and instead of using "windows default" either change it to stereo headphones or stereo speakers. Hope this helps!

there is no solution and this mod had ceased development

Same problem as artillery man game crashes when using naval bombardment, still no fix

What is up with the naval bombardments during land battles? It constantly crashes the game whenever it is used. Is there a solution to this?

for usa btw

why cant i recruit cavalry

I understand u don't update the mod for some reason. But crash during naval bombardment just makes it for nothing, cuz enemy keep trying to use it and make battle crash. Is it really so hard just to disable this ability for AI of even everybody? Turn 100+ and i cant go on. Wasted my time playing all along for nothing.

Do you need to own the base game, or does it work with just Fall of the samurai?

can someone PLEASE HELP ME.

i really want to play this mod, but im confused if i should download the data file first or the steam files first?

i have tried both ways and also the auto installer.

every time, i end up being able to run the game but there is no sound and no new factions on campaign or custom.


please help

@Alex you need to download the data file in the description

I've subscribed and downloaded all 17 parts of this mod, activated them in the mod manager and run the game. However, the mod does not load, just the base game. Am I missing something? Can anyone help?

What a great mod, i have always wanted a napoleon-like experience with FOTS which this mod is great at delivering. It is a shame that i only thought to try this mod now in 2024 and not earlier, looking forward to try Scramble for The East and Carlist War next.

Regarding some bugs and issues, I only have some with Naval Bombardment during land battles, tried to play as Britain, the early game bombardment with 3 uses works fine and never crash my game once. Only until I recruited a general with "New Methods" (+2 Naval Bombard Uses) that I started to run into crashes, after the first battle with this particular General i notice that every other battles afterward with or without the perk will let you use 5 Naval Bombardment instead of 3. Although, the crash doesn't happen every time but i can be very frustrating. Just think of it as a cool ability you can use but has a 25% chance of blowing in your face, and don't forget to make Quick Save everytime before a battle.

every time i click a naval battle it crashes

you need to download the pack file from here https://www.totalrtsmods.com/post/total-fots-v1-downloads-and-installation-9859217

when i extract the data 1.3.9 file i dont get a data.pack file

how do i fix the unit names

About the Custom data.pack, i went to the forum but theres loads of different things, do i need to download all of them?

delete the appdate

Can someone please explain how to fix the unit name problem like im a 5 year old

How to recruit cavalry with Western faction ?

Legate 66, can you point me to where the script file you located is specifically, what is it a txt file? what is it called, how can i find it, thanks in advance

naval bombardment crashes my game when using normal speed but fine when using fast speed

It appears so, I tried it one time and it worked but haven't been bombarding much since I fixed this.

legate did you fix the naval bombardment crash

I have encountered a few major bugs. The added settlements, a few buildings and the added units had no names on screen. And naval support fire caused crashes.
I made sure to install the data.pack on the author's site but that did not help any, even if I installed the mod as a single file from the developer's site.
But I managed to fix them myself and I share these with you.
First I managed to fix just the unit names by modding the text files in the mod pack and adding a prefix, in my case just "fots_" to all the text entries in the mod and that fixed the units.
Then I managed to fix the rest by deleting the script file in appdata -> The Creative Assembly -> Shogun 2. I am led to believe this method fixes problems with many mods if the game was installed before the update on May 2023.
If you are facing the same problems, I recommend deleting the script files first. If that fixes everything, great, if not, then try the first thing.

Also a word of warning. This mod has an issue that has never been fixed, naval bombardements in land batles cause a crash every time. This is a game breaking bug that will mean everytime you, or the enemy, use a naval bombardement, that battle cant be played. So if the enemy has navy nearby, you are stuck using auto resolves because it will crash if you play it.

Another details i would like to mention. Changes to the smoke and sound from the gun firing. I dont know if its more realistic or not, but it is so much worse than vanilla my heart dropped when i saw them. Small details that put together hurt the mod imo.

This is a good total conversion whith some realy interesting twists. However. As usual, these mods tend to go too far whithout realy needing to. Changing things that do not need to be changed. Too many new units whithout much distinction between them, i thought they would add some clan specific units, but not realy. I apreciate the new units from the western powers, but the japanese changes are mostly clutter imo. Sometimes less is more. New music that is much worse then vanilla, also makes this game feel more like napoleon then shogun 2, which is sad. Change to the battle UI for no reason, the vanilla symbols are just better. Some new battle changes like the battle trumpets are interesting, but again, we are abandoning the feel of shogun 2 in favour of something closer to napoleon. All these details did not had to be changed, it was more work and i dont think they make the mod better.
