black tiles in C2C

[strategyonly]

ok so to get proper graphic colours (not the black spot) I have to turn graphics to low? does this mod have a lot of problems?

again please read through, some of the solutions, thx.

All you need to do is read the last 25 posts.

It's only 9 pages if you set it to 40 posts per page.

But seriously, as said, the last month or two is really all you need to check And to answer your first question setting graphics to low probably only works as a coincidence.

I did read the last 3 and a half last pages. it seems I have to delete cache files but I don't know where. I looked in a few folders and couldn't find anything. I'm totally useless in computer stuff (except of playing hehe). I remember I downloaded a smaller version (rocks 2 rockets) of c2c and will try that instead. thank you for helping but I'll come back and check this thread and I might be lucky that there one day is a solution I can understand lol ;-)

lol yea true

is it the cache folder inside the asset folder? can I delete cache folder without risking any trouble except of longer loading time? (I feel really smart right now so I hope I am right lol)

You can safely delete any one of the cache folders, as they will be rebuilt when you load the game anyway. Deleting the one in assets won't hurt, but probably won't help either. You can also try deleting the one in users\yourname\appdata\local\my games\BTS, but that probably won't help either.

As a BTW, I get the black tiles in R2R as well unless I unpack the fpks also (probably because it was based on v26, which was the first one I had trouble with).

EDIT---and you can edit your posts instead of posting 3 times in a row. There is no time limit, as people here don't get into arguments over who posted what. That may cut down on the number of pages people have to read...

A warm thank you to all friends. My problem with the tiles was based on the operation of PackBuild. To be able to run on 64-bit Window Seven, you have to change the program settings to "compatibility" for Windows 7. In this way, the files fpk are extracted perfectly.
Now everything works, now everything is stable.
A warm greetings for all.
P.S. Introduce the Etruscan civilization, please.

I dont understand what or how to do what your saying here?

I'm playing r2r now and I don't have any problems with it, no black tiles. it seems to be almost the same as c2c, that they haven't removed any important stuff compared to c2c. can't say I love r2r yet, only played it for a couple of hours. but I am pretty sure I will love it when I get to the middle ages.

I am starting to think that I might have to update the computer and that is the reason why c2c act so strange (black tiles). the computer is around 15 months old and I haven't updated anything yet, so it might be time for it soon (except of nvidia updates). I might need a better graphic card (the one I currently have is GeForce GTX 550 Ti)

A GTX 550Ti is more than enough. I play without issue (other than a very low frame rate at times, which doesn't really matter in a turn based game) using a GT 520, which is something like a dozen tiers below that in performance.

But if you really want to upgrade to en even more ridiculously powerful graphics card then any excuse will do...

thats a perfectly good card.

Clearly we all need triple SLI Titans, and it'll only set you back about $3000! (for just the graphics cards that is)

Seriously though. I have a 6850 and it's more than enough. The main things are:

1. 4g RAM, ideally with a 64 bit OS
2. The fastest CPU you can afford (once you get to an adequate level of memory more CPU speed is really the only thing that c2c performance will scale with)
3. Any reasonably modern mid range discrete graphics card

That doesn't really solve the occasional BT issue. I have a new Mid-rng HP PC that's only a month old, fully updated, and I still have BT issues. You'll have to go through all the PAK build/ epic computer god repairs in order to get it to work... Or you can be like me and just wait until it will evenually come out on an intstall disc

On the plus side, R2R seems to work great on my comp. So at least I get a general idea of what this mod is like

 

[00konichiwa00]

ok thanks. good to know. saves me a few pennies

Clicking the right button over the icon of PackBuild and selecting "properties" appears the sign "compatibility" (compatibilità in italian) then select the type of system to be assigned to the program. Without this, the program does not extract the files properly.

Sorry i dont see the "comp" area??

You are looking at the properties for an FPK file. Not being a program, it isn't run in any mode as it isn't run at all. The compatibility tab appears for a .exe file (PakBuild.exe, in this case).

But I find it is unnecessary to mess with it for 64-bit Windows 7. PakBuild apparently runs just fine without specifying anything there as I have unpacked an .FPK file without specifying anything for compatibility, although I admit that I did not try to use the extracted files to run the game.
