FfH2 0.30 Bug Thread

[Inkling]

Ok, figured out what the problem was last night (still playing patch "e", but didn't see it on the "f" update list, so I will assume it hasn't been fixed. When a worker builds a road over an already developed mana node, all nodes belonging to that player will revert to an undeveloped state. Could be exploited to build all the towers with 4 mana nodes...

i just tried to reproduce this on .30e without success. is there something more to it you are failing to mention? using both slaves and regular workers i was unable to affect existing developed mana nodes by simply building a road to a developed mana node. both with the node already started but not completed, and with the node already built before telling the workers to start the road.

are you certain it wasn't the amurite world spell?
what race/civilization were you?
anything else you can think of that you were doing?

30e
Iron golems require mithril...oops.

Ok, odd, a few turns later now they dont...

Anyone having problems with the game crashing when reloading a saved game?

The save game will load fine when loading from a fresh start, but if I try and reload the save game whilst the game is running it crashes.

that'll teach me to cheat

 

[Darkheart]

Edit.... there seems to be a corruption of the temp files.... Windows error report says

C:\DOCUME~1\Rob\LOCALS~1\Temp\5dfc_appcompat.txt

I reloaded from a previous Autosave (about 3 turns prior) and replayed.....

Game crashes at end of turn 347 same as B4

not sure if this is a bug or feature and didn't see it mentioned in the patch list, but the svartalfar (dark elves) can build "elven mines" on hills with forest after researching bronze working. seems a little too powerful...

Elves i.e. both Ljosalfar and Svartalfar can build in forests. This is a feature. Actually they now can build mines on forested hills without Bronze Working.

What I am not sure about is building on Jungles without Sanitation. I would like to have this clarified. Is it an intended feature or a bug that will get fixed sometime later?

Pillaging Citadels plays havoc with viewable area. Not only does it make squares that are visible permanently, but it makes squares that are dark even while standing in that square.

had the same problem

 

[Ecofarm]

I sent my Adventurer on an adventure with the best equipment available (20 something gold).

He didn't get a piece of equipment or levels, but he did get...

Strength: -5614xx...
Movement: 46xxx

Then civ locked up.

Hi,

just have a ctd with the attached saved game. It was reprodicuble 2 times on my computer. I don't know where it comes from.

Happy new year for the civ-community with a lot of gaming.

patch e

My vassal, the Sidar, and I withdrew from the Overcouncil. About 10 turns later, the members of the Overcouncil declared war on Faeryl Viconia. The only problem is so did Sandalphon and I without making formal contact with the Svartalfar. My guess is that the Overcouncil forgot we were no longer members.

Ok, maybe it was the amurite world spell. Even though I didn't see a message saying that someone had cast it. *shrug* For some reason, I thought I saw this happen more then once in a game though...

1. Hell transforms desert and flood plains into burning sands. After sanctifying they both turn into desert. Has this changed? I reckon there used to be two different hell terrain types. Needless to say I found it the hard way...

2. Playing as a member of the undercouncil, the "develop secret codes" option ceased working properly. I have plenty of gold, but no sages are generated anymore. I founded all the religions and I managed to build all the shrines. I am almost certain sages stopped appearing immediately after building all the shrines, so that might be what's causing the bug. Oddly enough nightwatches have stopped appearing too.

3. Although already stated, it also happens to me: setting up a gambling ring or allowing smuggling are broken, they have no apparent effect.

Patch e.

I had reported it happening with the unpatched version of 0.30. One game I am pretty sure three nodes got unimproved at different times, but I haven't had it happen in any game since patch a.

On another note, since patch f, I have played about 6 games, and the red dragon has not been built by the barbarians in any of them. I've played barbarian world in most of them, and there were plenty of barbarian cities most of each game. Anyone else notice anything like this?

If you experience a revolt (ala one of your citizens debates you and you lose, etc.) your cultural radius drops to 1 tile. Worked mana nodes lose their former distinction as they pass out of your cultural border, and must be renoded once they return to your cultural border. This is very similar to what happens when you Purge the Unfaithful, so I am guessing its intentional.

A repsonse to previous posters commenting on mana nodes behaving oddly. This might be the reason.

Getting continual OOS errors on this save of FF2 multiplayer.

each of us are playing a team of the good elves, against a collection of AI teams. no idea on what may be causing it

 

[Soberirish]

When one is the head of the undercouncil (and maybe the overcouncil also), it calls you the Secretary-General of the U.N. (like in normal BTS). Very minor, but still worth noting. Thanks and happy New Year!

 

[Zuul]

Started with Tomb of Sucellus 1 tile away. Made a road to it but still I don't get a life mana. I have pach f.

 

[spleendamage]

Patch e:

Received many OOS errors while playing 3 way multiplayer through the "internet game" option.

The beginning of the game (until turn 147) ran without a hitch. Immediately after sharing world maps with another player, we received the first OOS.

The we received them approximately every 2 - 3 turns afterwards.

One of my Adventurers got eaten by a bear while defending (ie. between turns) but was then still offered the healing salve by the alchemist... Alas, even paying the gold did not bring back the Adventurer

I haven't seen the dragon in any game in this version either, no matter the patch.
