A couple of bugs in 1.09?

[jaolhe]

Hi,

I just found a couple of things that seem to be bugs in EU 1.09.

1. I'm playing IGC 2.1 commanding the Knights of St. John and things are going slowly but steadily just before 1530. Some time ago I took what seemed to be a simple mission from my leader, 'keep Rhodes for 5 years'. Now when I look at my mission statistics, that particular mission appears TWO different times in the accepted mission list. Not only that, the mission will be completed as early as by the end of year 3172!

2. How is the diplomacy window supposed to work? If you hold your mouse cursor there long enough you get help box saying that 'in order to perform a diplomatic action, please left click on the map or RIGHT CLICK IN THIS WINDOW' The former appears to be working but latter not. Neither right nor left clicking accomplishes anything when done in the diplomacy window. Is this a bug or have I misundestood something?

3. 20 hours of play, three crashes to desktop. Nothing too serious though, the game is always playable after reloading.

4. I have tweaked my message settings so that I should receive a message box for example when my stability level rises/drops. Why doesn't this ever happen?

Hello - The "double mission" problem is well documented in some other threads as well as the FAQ at:

For diplomacy, I'm not quite sure from your statement what the problem is so I'll be a bit over-explicit. BTW, I think the right-click functionality was disabled due to the number of crashes it caused (search the forum for more info).

Left click on the province of the country you want to interact with, the left click the diplomacy button above the micromap. This gives you a summary view of either relations or alliance. Select the appropriate radio button (ie relations for sending gifts or insults, alliances for offering marriage, trading maps etc) and then from the second window select the appropriate action.

I'm not sure what would be causing your crashes but you may want to do a healthcheck on your system, I've been playing EU (under W98 on a 300MHz box) since it came out in the UK and never had a crash (v1.07, v1.08 and v1.09 - all stable).

I've noticed the absence of stability messages as well. Quite possibly a bug. Try with a pop-up box with and w/o pause as well to see if it's consistent, then report it to Patric.

Best regards

Steel

Bugs on 1.09

I'm having problems with Saving Games in 1.09 that I was not having in earlier patches. 1.08 even I could save games in any campaign (even IGC) and come back to them no problem. In 1.09 I cannot get back into a saved game. I try to load it, and it crashes. I'm going to have to go back to 1.08 until another patch comes out I guess.

I have an Athlon processor, that MIGHT be the issue, but it hasn't been a problem previously.
