A New Dawn Bug Reports and Feedback

[gtc29]

Longer than me then.



I need details. Map Size, Mapscript, Computer specs?

Starting with my Computer Specs

Intel Core2 Duo P8600 2.40Ghz / 4GB RAM / NVDIA GeForce 9600M GT / Vista 64 bit

Gigantic Map / 39 civs / eternity speed (i've always played this kind of game before, so nothing new for me)

No idea; I hope so; I've greatly revised GC's.

If you need it tested you can hand me an update, I have plenty of broken saves if it's savegame compatible and a crash-prone civ otherwise.

 

[gtc29]

I apologize.* I had hoped I had said what I had in as polite a "voice" as possible, without giving offense or suggesting your intelligence was higher or lower than any given metric. In my defense, I had inferred the possibility that you were inexperienced with mods because your join date was only several months ago and I was too hurried to check your post history.

* I'm Canadian and like to live up (and down) to stereotypes, so I should probably have included an 'eh' somewhere in there

Scribbler, apologies accepted. As a sign of this friendship I send you a photo of my Canadian Hero, Gilles Villeneuve

Regards,

I keep my working files all online, you can test it now if you want.

@gtc29,

the fault (aka crash) occured in the EXE, which means it is unrelated to this mod, and since Firaxis never released the EXE code, there is nothing I can do about it.

What SCM service do you use for the svn? CVS, Subversion....?

Subversion.

I'm playing it right now; I know it doesn't. Did you follow the guide in the main folder? You can't just drag and drop and expect it to work.

Edit: One minor detail, the DLL in the folder is out of date, you need to compile a new one... or wait a second for me to upload mine.

Where did you upload it?

EDIT: nvm, just saw it. Thanks

2nd edit: So as not to make this post completely useless, I still haven't figured out what exactly are the Control Points in the GCs

3rd edit: GCs still not working. It isn't a crash issue, what actually breaks them for me is loading a game. This time I had no crash, I just saved the game and went to sleep, and the next day when I loaded, they weren't working again. Am I the only one to whom this happens?

Afforess,

Playing 1.7 right now and it's pretty good, but for a couple of little things here and there. Let me mention I just finished a vanilla ROM game so I have some comparisons. I'm playing with almost all options installed and with rev/barb off.

AI seems to be worse in the beginning stages of the game. I'm playing on Monarch diff. with flexible/diff. on. I wish there was a way to see what difficulty level you are currently on with this option, maybe on the bottom right corner flag?

I think the AI is much worse in my current game because of the all the new buildings and such, although I have aggressive AI on and every AI is pumping out tons of units each turn and going to war. Luckily I discovered religion first and now every single AI follows my religion so I'm basically friendly with everyone and not being attacked. This is the most likly cause of my great tech. advantage although the diff. level is prob. now on diety and they're catching up.

The spy wait command has really messed up my game, even on reloads, but I will try and kill the spy when I get home and see if the game returns to normal.

The game in general is much slower, interface lag here and there but I suspect the spy problem is the cause.

One request.... I have been gifting tons of units to my neighbor who is at war with another neighbor of mine and yet I have no penalty for this? You would think that the neighbor who is being attacked by my gifted forces would be pissed off that I'm supplying troops against him.
And on the other side you think I would receive a bonus from the neighbor who is receiving all the troops to save him from utter defeat.

Apparently so, but I will test it myself. Control Points are maximum number of units that the Great Commander can give his extra abilities to in one turn. If you use them all up, he can gain no XP, nor give any benefits.

The AI seems to be too wonder happy in the very early game, stalling their expansion. I have discouraged this behavior in 1.71.

The spy wait command has been fixed for 1.71.

The part about gifting units... The AI does actually get mad/happy, but it depends on the value of the units. IDK how strong the effect either, but I know gifting nukes has a big effect.

You can see your difficulty level, hover over your name in the scoreboard.

That is good news.

Now if only you could stop me being wonder happy

Play a game on a tiny donut map, with 12 civs with ruthless AI. Good fun. I'm in my 3rd world war!

Update:

I checked this out and confirmed the bug. I've fixed it, so GC's work after loading saves again.

Ok, having a graphics problem I've never experienced before. It only happens with A New Dawn. Vanilla BTS and RoM work just fine. The bug occurs while waiting for the next turn. Never before or after. Sometimes the whole screen goes blank and the monitor goes to sleep. Sometimes the display driver will also stop working. I've already tried reinstalling RoM and AND. I've got a clean install of ATI's latest 10.3 driver.

My vid card is an ATI HD 4670 with 1 gig GDDR3. Windows 7 64 with 2 gigs RAM. AMD X2 4000+ CPU. Playing on standard maps (though it doesn't matter what size map I play on, I get the bug).

This is my first time playing Civ since I got the ATI card. Previously used NVIDIA without a problem. My new ATI card plays Battlefield 2, Bad Company 2 and Crysis without fail. Temps never go above 40'C.

Oh this is with the full version of RoM 2.9

 

[NBAfan]

Are you sure it is not overheating? You should be able to play it fine.

 

[Afforess]

@Dragonmetal,

Epic screenshot; but if AND is involved, there is no way I can do anything; rendering and graphics are not under modders control. I think you will have better luck trying a beta driver (if there are any) or rolling back to the last one.

Here's a pretty important bug.

I was talking with the Arabians, and I noticed they had the clerks guild. I was curious so I asked him what he wants for it. He said I could have it for free. I wondered how many other guilds I could have for free. there were two others, both owned by the incans. He gave one of them to me for free, and he only wanted 203 gold for the other. This is a pretty big AI problem, if they just give guilds away.
