subscribed to a mod that doesn't even download a file, waste of time.

yea it does not work and even crashes the game when i load other mods

still crashes!

I used the mod and it still crash when I click on custom battle

@Swiss Helberdier

Great to read you. Hope everyhting safe and sound. :) And thanx - that makes sense. Got it.

@Ryan
Yes Steam "thinks" if there is no change in the size of the file (in regard edits within it), then it doesn't update it normally.

And then the mod shows as "outdated", even if the mod still works like yours. I got the same issue on some of my mods. They all work fine but it shows "outdated". This happen evertime if Creative Assembly updates the TW Mod launchers normally.

So no worries it should work fine even it shows "outdated".

I think I updated that mod - but Steam does not show this. I have no clue if it shows on your end - my launcher tells me it has updated.
Did not change anything to the files.

@Daxie
Then I don't know why your ETW crashes.

@Ryan
Sorry for spamming here my help suggestions on your thread. But they are also helpful for your mod users and Rome 2 players.

Done that, still crashes, thing is it worked yesterday... and ive not changed anything.
i also didnt have a folder called "army_setups" in my files

oh ok, ill try that then, thanks

@Daxie

Or try this too:

If the custom battle screen crashes, then please remove all files in these two folders below:

C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\battle_preferences

C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\army_setups


Both recommendations are a good start for EVERY Total War game if it crashes.

@Daxie
Empire Total War doesn't have a similar issue and there is no existing mod like this needed. Your crash in the custom battle screen of Empire Total War must come from another issue.

Try this:

> Open Steam > click on my games > right-click on Empire > left-click on properties > then look for the Local files tab and click on Verify the integrity of the game cache

There you can re-check the integrity of your Empire files. It takes some time, but after updating you have again all proper vanilla files.

anywhere i can find an empire total war version of this? if it even exists

Pssst @random reader:
(If you want to have a pro-tip to play outdated mods (mainly units):

- Locate the folder Steam/Steam Apps/Workshop/Content

- One of the folders (with digit numbers) is your Rome 2 TW
- inside of that are multiple folders of mods you had/have installed.
- if there is no pack and png file there is a bin file
- open the bin file with an editor and look for the corresponding mod

- now go to your Steam/Common/RomeII/Data folder
- there should be an old version of your missing mod (pack & png)
- copy (!) pack and png to the digit-folder to the bin file
- maybe do a copy of the bin file - somewhere? (I did not test this).
- start the launcher - if it displays the mod with a warning it is loaded

- try out if the game works with your 'old' mod - my Just Tribesmen - did without any problem
- carful! Outdated map changes crash the game - but then get rid of the files at the new location an it should run as normal.

This tip you use on your own risk!

~ have fun :-)

+Updated the mod*

CA changed the modding-folder of Rome II - what I was not aware about, till somebody knocked on my door and said: Can you please, update the Germanic Tribes mod and after 2 hours of my life-time I figuered that out. So I gave out wrong information - it is updated now and should appear in your Steam/Workshop folder like all other TW Rome 2 - mods.
Lucky you. Lucky me. :-)

Use this mod still at your own risk. I got it included in the Germanic Tribes mods and assume some other modders grabbed it as well. Fired multiple mods up together and it was all working.
:-).

Have fun.

Thanks Swiss. :) You are the best.

@Random reader - if you see this mod not updated it does not matter. Should work. It just looks a little stupid in the launcher, that's it. This is why Swiss Halberdier is so freaking awesome. I would not say it if I don't mean it - and why do you think I do? See. :) I'll get it updated so that it looks pretty again. But that's it. There is no more magic behind the scenes going on.^^

@Ryan
Again a new patch and DLC have been released for Rome 2. I looked at the CB crash fix table and it seems there is no need to change or add anything. There are still only 34 rows with the prefix mp_* and your Custom Battle Crash Fix is still fully working.

update pls?

So far I know, Dan - look at Swiss Halberdier's update - doesn't it matter at all.... but I mean if I have some time on the weekend - I can upload it so that it looks like in your mod-browser up-to-date... because this just works different.

@Dan the Nord King
Yes it works as well with patch 19.

sorry i meant to ask about patch 19?

@Dan the Nord King
It should still work with the new patch as there hasn't been a change to the related database table.

update for patch 18?

@Ryan
Thanks and I informed you as always with pleasure. Yes all is fine and my adaption and needed enhancement of your fix for Attila still works.

Steam thread:

Total War center thread with additional information for all Attila modders how to do it:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?699714

Of course I mentioned you with credits in both threads. :-)

If another Rome 2 patch will be released, then I will inform you again of course.

@Swiss Halberdier - Thank you a lot, for keeping me up to date... and awesome... Hope you are doing well and everything is fine. Take care!

@Ryan

Greetings

Thanks Ryan and it was a pleasure to check it as your mod is just so crucial for Rome 2 :-) And also for my own adapted version of your mod for Attila.

You are awesome - thank you, Swiss Halberdier.

@Ryan
The new patch and the DLC are here. I looked at the CB crash fix table and it seems there is no need to change or add anything. There are still only 34 rows with the prefix mp_*.

@Ryan
Thanks and I thought I want to inform you. :-)

https://steamhost.cn/app/694880/

There is a beta-patch available and so I checked our important CB crash fix database table and so far it didn't changed in terms of the fix. :-)

@Swiss Halberdier -
Wow. Thank you. I was totally not aware about that this is coming, so - no - I have not heard.^^
Awesome and thanks again!

@Ryan
As you probably heard already CA releases a new big Rome 2 DLC with a huge patch. Basically I downloaded already the pre-beta patch and so far it seems the "Custom Battle Crash Fix" table and our used values didn't changed. As I use your fix in my AUM-ROM units mod too. I will inform you asap if something needs to be changed after the release.

THANK YOU! this stopped the crashing for custom battle and when I click on epirus

Then contact a priest, NASA or Steam customer support to get contact to Valve - as you have found a prove for magic or the first development of an artifical intelligence, many people with money would be interested to obtain. You are a rich man and I am not even kidding.

This didn't work and it messed up my desktop.

I think that the Radious guys are in that thread here as well. I would not wonder if they already use it, - if not - go ask them why, because they do know better than I do (as they do know their mod better than everybody else). Otherwise I would say: Nope. No problem.
If there is a reason, the concerning unit modders know why, better than anybody else. :)

Does this mod conflict with Radious?

Thanks man it worked for me.
I had problem with mods when i add more units with + icon it crashes now it doesn't
Thanks man :)

Thanks a lot Ryan for placing my link too. :-) I placed your one on my TWC and Steam threads of course too.

<3 Thankyou both :) AWESOME!!!!

Gracias - Copy and paste. :)

Hello Ryan and Paranoid, I uploaded the "Attila Custom Battle Crash Fix" to Steam.

Here is the link to my thread:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529522517

Hey Swiss, is there any possibility you could do it to Steam WOrkshop too :)

Thanks Paranoid!

Hello Ryan, thanks a lot to you too as you were the original creator. So it was obvious for me that I included you in the credits. :-)

I'm pleased that I could solve this issue for Attila. Sure I will inform all here as soon as I made the Steam thread for the Attila Custom Battle Crash Fix.

At the moment it is only downloadable via my TotalWarCenter link here:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?699714-Attila-Custom-Battle-Crash-Fix

THANKS GUYS!

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VICTORY! WE HAVE VICTOR!!

How awesome is this. I do not even want to comment so that you are up here and everybody can read the good news.^^ Hey, let me know if you release it on steam, then I put a link up here - in case of guys like Paranoid look into here, so that they know where the candy is at.
Thanks for the kind credit and I could follow up what they changed. :-)
Great work. Awesome. Now you all can limitless enjoy that cool game where Germanic units have models with puttees and fur tunics. A Rome2 player's dream. Sniff.^^ tc

Hello Ryan, finally I found a way how to implement the "Custom Battle Crash Fix" into Attila too. :-)
It was an additional change in the db table "factions" needed. Thanks a lot again for your work in Rome 2 and I gave you credits in my TotalWarCenter thread.

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?699714-Attila-Custom-Battle-Crash-Fix

I will release it soon on Steam.

Ah :/ Well appreciate the answer man. Thanks anyway. Have a nice weekend :)

Sorry, for the late reply. No I have not, but as Swiss Halberdier pointed out - and you can bet that these guys could easily do it, if they would know where the prob is - seems something has changed from Rome2 to Attila. This here is a really very easy thing, the main prob was to find it. It's really not advanced modding, it was just about to locate the problem. Anybody could have found it. Has not much to do with know-how. Sorry. :(
