Section is dedicated to the MEN OF WAR

FIRST OF ALL, READ THIS AND ANSWER THE QUESTION:
Does your version of the mod match the current one? Go to the game settings, where mods are displayed and check whether the versions of mods correspond to the versions that are indicated at the beginning of this guide.

Block 0 - General questions and common problems.

🆘 The "runtime error" error. When I spawn infantry in the editor and click start, the game crashes. (runtime error)
👉 Don't spawn infantry in F2 mode. F2 for decorations and maps. F3 for units and triggers.

🆘 How to kill the "name of any unit"?
👉 Shoot him.

Block 1-Problems with the game, startup, crashes, does not work, etc.

🆘 Constantly during the game crashes with the error "Fallen to allocate memory " error also known as"E=12".
👉 The problem is with the MoW engine, no matter how much RAM you have on your PC, the engine can't use more than 3.6 GB. For today, this can be solved by lowering the quality settings, and regularly restarting the game.
For example, after every three matches. This error may also be affected by the number of factions in the game. If it is 6 different factions, then you will need to restart after 1 match. However, each patch we optimize the game by reducing the amount of memory consumption.

🆘 some textures, model curves, etc. are not displayed.
👉 there is a 99% chance that your data integrity was broken when unpacking. Reinstalling will help. See section 3, paragraph 1, for proper reinstalling.

🆘 There are no descriptions of units, dialogues, tasks, etc.
👉 Switch the language according to the instructions from block 2, start the game, if it didn't help, follow step 0 from block 2, if it didn't help again, reinstall the mod according to the instructions from block 2.

🆘 I Can't connect to other players in multiplayer. Dissynchronization. Eternal loading.
👉 first of all, please note that you can only connect to lobbies where the ping is visible. If the ping is not visible, the host must re-create the lobby.
Second, if one of the parties is out of sync, there are some differences in the game, platform, or mod files. Find out if you can connect to other UMW lobbies, check if you have the current version of the mod and platform installed. Follow Step 3 of block 2. Then step 0 from block 2. If all this does not help, then follow step 1 of block 2.
========================================================
Block 2-Instructions and manuals.
0️⃣ A universal method for solving many problems
When you have the mod and platform enabled, turn off the mod without turning off the platform. Then turn on the mod again.

1️⃣ correctly reinstalling the mod.
In case of any problems, the correct actions when reinstalling are as follows: Unsubscribe in the workshop from the platform and from the mod. After that, go to the mods folder in the game folder, and manually delete the folders with the platform and mod there. And only after this party, we subscribe and wait for the mod to be installed.
If you can't start the game, it will start it in "safe mode (no mods)"
Connect the mods one by one, first the platform, then the UMW40k
Be sure to make sure that the version is up-to-date. The current version is listed at the beginning of this page.

2️⃣ Change the language.
To change the language, you need to find the lokalization.exe file in the platform folder and in the mod folder (In both mods!). Run them as an administrator and select the language you need. After you change the language here and there, the game will be fully localized.
First of all, turn off all mods and turn them on again. If this did not work, then delete the mods and unsubscribe from them to reinstall them again.
If for some reason the language does not change, then there are two possible reasons: You are not following the instructions or something is damaged. You can also delete the txt archive in the localization folder and rename the text_eng archive to text.

3️⃣ Checking the integrity of the vanilla game.
In the incentive, open the game properties, and there, in the local files section, find the "Check file integrity" button. wait for the verification process to complete and for errors to be corrected, if any.one of the parties in the files of the game, platform, or mod has some differences. Find out if you can connect to other UMW lobbies, check if you have the current version of the mod and platform installed. Follow Step 3 of block 2. If all this does not help, then follow step 1 of block 2.

4️⃣ Update the drivers and Microsoft visual C++, this may be important.

5️⃣ Try to change the source of the mod installation, if you downloaded it from the Steam workshop, then go to ⁠🆕news and download it from the links on Google drive.

6️⃣ Extreme measures
In case of global problems with the game or mod, you can try to go to extreme measures, namely:
Delete the folder located on this path:
C:\Users\ @You_pc_name@\Documents\my games\men of war - assault squad 2\profiles
With its removal, you will also lose saves, replays and game settings.

You can also try to delete the game completely, and then go to the place where it was located and check if there are any files left there, if there are any, delete them.
