Show-Stopper

Just started the game for the first time and got to the recruiting screen. Okay, I am able to recruit one more, but I am unwillig. But, well, it doesn't matter at all, even in case I recruit a soldier, the counter just goes +1 and I still could recruit ... even in case I already spent all gold for this damned ♥♥♥♥♥♥ recruiting. When I click "continue" it always asks, if i am sure - well, it doesn't matter, i hit yes or no, it happens - nothing. I stay still in recruiting and the game tells me, uh, you're able to do further recruiting. ♥♥♥♥ your knee. I leave the game! Don't waste my time!

Never got this 'bug' in every new playthrough. Are you sure you clicked the right options?

Though would've be nice if you just asked a little earlier before quitting the game so that your problem can be solved. Guess it doesn't matter now...

[Sternengruesser]

Well, you can click "Continue" and then "Yes" or "No" (Sometthing like "You're still able to recruit. - Are you sure?") and I would suppose, the game should continue then, but the window closes and i am just in the situation, before clicking "Continue". When I recruit a man, the counter counts +1, if there is money left or not.

What am I supposed to click elsewise ?

Sorry, but I have been a little bit impatient this afternoon.

Hi there,

So sorry for issues, but I cannot recreate it.

What exactly are you doing, step-by-step? Which campaign and which hero do you select? Do you have any mods installed? Could you also make a screenshot?

Les

Btw, I would be grateful, if you could be more patient.

[Sternengruesser]

Yeah, I am usually more patient. Perhaps it hit me on the wrong toe yesterday.

Well, let's have a look on the issue:

While starting, I get following message:

"Game is running in 32-bit mode and performance might be severly affected.

If your system is 64-bit and this message is shown please contact us at
[e-mail]"

Well, it is a system running 32-bit (Win7), so nothing to worry about, I think (I hope).

First menu:

I take "New Campaign"
I take "Human Kingdom"
I take "Novice (Easy)" (I am totally rofl about your comment on difficulty Master)
"OK"
Text "From the King's Sea to ..." - I take "Continue"
Note "Welcome"
Note "This game is an introduction ..."
Note "(during the game, you will be able to recruit and capture other units)"
I take "Continue"
"Select your hero" - I stay with the knight (warrior), he is checked and I click "OK"
Note "Various locations will unlock ..."
Note "The economy of the kingdom ..."
I take "Continue"

(*)
Now I am on the recruiting screen: Treasure 500 gp, Team size 6, 5 Buttons below.
I take "Continue" - A window pops up
"EXIT -
You are to leave recruiting and continue your adventure.
Are you sure?

There is still a place in your team for additional units.
It is advised to recruit and fill-in your team before continuing!"

Two buttons, "Yes" and "No". I took "Yes" on first try, but the other has the same result.

I am still in the recruiting screen and can click "Continue" again, well, it seems, I just stepped back to "(*) Now I am on the recruiting screen ..."; the screen has full functionality and simple waiting leads nowhere, too. Spending all gp adds soldiers and team size goes +1, but it changes nothing else. Uh, wait ... the background picture (the street) disappears on first try after choosing "Yes" or "No" ...

P.S.: Undead, expirienced - leads to the same result.


Well, the system requirements of the game are low enough and shouldn't be an issue,
but I have no clue. Or is it lagging heavily at this point on a 32-bit system ?? - The Notes
appear quite slowly one after the other. But as mentioned before, waiting doesn't seem to be the key here ... don't tell me, I have to be more patient :)

[LemanDV]

Same thing happens to me.

Press continue, background image is gone, but I'm stuck with the recruitment UI and the same question pops up everytime I press continue.

Also running on a 32-bit Win10.

Same thing happened to me too. Can't go past recruiting screen, even if I say "Yes" at the question "Are you sure ?" after clicking "Continue".0

Also running on a 32-bit Win10 (on a 64 bits old laptop, choosed the wrong install for Win 10 on the probably false hope that it would be lighter and less straining on the processor)

I'm starting to see a pattern.

Human Campaign too, normal difficulty, mage starting character.

PS :


Happening exactly the same way with the Chaos Demon Campaign, so it's not campaign related.

Seems people with problems have in common is using 32-bit systems

Happened on AOF2 on 32-bit system laptop/toaster which had low stats but used to be able to run the game at minimum so had thought it was the laptop but it since this thread it must be an issue with windows 32-bit type systems. the 64-desktop still runs the games with no problems
