@Moody

It will come an update later. I will have time to sort out stuff. But a bigger release is planned.

Playing with my bro on random map, and for us 99% of all city quests are shadow bloats. I've installed the mods yesterday so no way it's not updated i think..

@Selethane

First of all check common solutions and troubleshooting. Then most likely apply the OneDrive solution. It's certainly something causing issues.

Please do the OneDrive solution first.

I hate to ask: But does anyone here know how to fix the launcher not updating everything from steam workshop to its files? I even manually downloaded all the required files and tried manually shoving them into the AoW3 folder, naming the File UserContent and everything, to no avail. Please send help ^^||

After some further testing I can now confirm that the latest patch solved the problem, different quests are showing up correctly.

Thank you for your hard work.
Gladen  [author] Feb 10, 2024 @ 10:23am 
@Green Ghost

I tried a second solution and now everything spawns in latest comp patch. Thx for patience
Green Ghost Feb 10, 2024 @ 5:45am 
@Gladen

Looks like the patch didn't work, all quests are still being replaced by shadow demons, I'm disabling the mod for now.
Gladen  [author] Feb 8, 2024 @ 1:03pm 
I'm working on an new version as we speak. I have most likely an workaround tomorrow for the compatibility patch.
Green Ghost Feb 8, 2024 @ 12:16pm 
@Gladen

How long do you think it will be until that update? I'd like to get back to playing the game but if I have to wait a long time for a solution I'm probably just going to remove the mod.
Gladen  [author] Feb 8, 2024 @ 9:52am 
@Green Ghost

I believe I know whats causing it. I belive the same solution we done for unit sets and unit cathegories did not work the same way as it did with quest sets and cathegories. Its safe to assume I can tweak this little better in a next update.

@Gladen

All races are offering the same quest, humans, halflings, dwarves, goblins etc.
Gladen  [author] Feb 7, 2024 @ 9:15pm 
@Green Ghost

Which races do you encounter and is it often related to the same races or only some? Ive seen different quest appearing, through video but I also seen Shadow demon quest to be more likely aswell.

Seens all quests are individually set for different races it's interesting to know which had problems
Green Ghost Feb 7, 2024 @ 3:44pm 
I can confirm that this mod is the culprit, after disabling it cities started offering me different quests again.
Green Ghost Feb 7, 2024 @ 1:00pm 
I started an RMG game and the same thing happened there, after a neutral city became my vassal the only quest it gives me is to kill shadow demon bloats, please help.
Green Ghost Feb 6, 2024 @ 3:55pm 
I'm playing the main campaign and whenever I'm given a quest by an independent or vassal city it's ALWAYS to kill a group of shadow demons, never anything else, I'm assuming this is unintended so has anyone had the same problem and how do I solve it?
Well if it isn't Saucy Jack Oct 2, 2023 @ 11:17am 
Ah, thank you
HousePet  [author] Sep 23, 2023 @ 8:31pm 
You have to press the "Restore Default" button any time you enable to disable this mod.
Well if it isn't Saucy Jack Sep 23, 2023 @ 1:24pm 
I can't play the game without this mod now.
I mean that both because I like it and the game crashes when I try to play without it now.
Don't know what's caused that, but something to note.
LJK Jul 16, 2023 @ 7:02pm 
Thank you!

@skaz88

The comp patch was updated yesterday. Shadow Demon dwelling pass jumped out of position in mod causing shenanigans.

Probably the reason.
skaz88 Jul 7, 2023 @ 4:33pm 
It would seem the dwelling compatibility patches are to blame. Not the first time they've caused problems.
Gladen  [author] Jul 7, 2023 @ 7:20am 
@skaz88

A the moment I tried to debug something mentioned. I generated 20 different map RMG with Underground enabled everytime. I had one crash upon generation which is 1/20. I had all dwellings in all succesful times with Shadow Demons, Dragons and Living Archons in the Shadow Realm. While Underground generated Dark Elves few times and all other dwellings. On each generation all structures belonging to each individual layer was correctly generated and none wrong.

Following mods were used:

Decodence - Map Editor Content + Shadow Realm Expansion - Content + Shadow Realm RMG

Before start I updated Aow III launcher. Made sure that my document folder of AoW 3 where mods are located is not on a cloud service like "One drive, Dropbox etc"

I also made sure to... press "Restore Default" button.

At the moment it depends on your mods rather than this content.
Gladen  [author] Jul 7, 2023 @ 2:29am 
Hmm need to check this one out.
skaz88 Jul 6, 2023 @ 10:06pm 
I'm a little confused, I see dwellings and structures in the Shadow Realm that are only supposed to be on the surface, no living archons and my game crashes every time I try to add in the underground.
Dr_K [Rosencrantz]  [author] May 21, 2023 @ 5:32am 
The update that @Gladen mentioned has been pushed out.
Gladen  [author] May 20, 2023 @ 9:34am 
@all

The mod is set to be updated soon.

It will introduce alot of fixes and improvements. It will improve every unit icon and structure icons. Several new structures in the Shadow Realm is introduced and graphically replaced to better be seen aswell will random map generation get improved. Some updates to language translations.

It will also fix some vanilla bugs of the game like Chamber of Rites not working in the Archon Dwelling. Lost City only having tropical as terrain, some invisible structure missing in tactical battles, High Elves city structures being wrong, Missing quests for Humans, High Elves, etc

Cheers

@blasius.vidy

Did you add the Shadow Realm RMG mod and press "restore default" before generating a map?
Blazios Apr 6, 2023 @ 5:48am 
not sure why but shadow realms not appearing for me
Gladen  [author] Feb 19, 2023 @ 8:51pm 
@NaakkurwiacZ

Can you describe little more your game or provide a save?

Do you play with additional other mods apart from Decodence map + Shadow Realm + Shadow Realm RMG + Chivalrous Intention?

Running out of memory can happen. But plenty of other players combine these mods without problem. However the author of Chivalrous Intention has stated to never update his content in mid game. Was that the case? Was there a heavy cosmic event spawning alot of units? Did you use a XL map by any chance?

This game is sure to eat memories and may not run on every single computer. I suggest to turn down graphics considerably, turning off to a bare minimum to see if it's helps to finish your turn
NaakkurwiacZ Feb 19, 2023 @ 2:31pm 
i have same problem a restart to end turn, probably falut is 32 bit version aplication, patch repairing allocation on memory ? acctualy i used shadow realm mod and chivarlous intencions
HjAa Feb 5, 2023 @ 12:57pm 
Lovely :) Thanks!
Gladen  [author] Feb 5, 2023 @ 8:08am 
Can check that before next update is available
HjAa Feb 5, 2023 @ 7:49am 
Hi! Thanks for the mod! Would you consider changing the sound for exterminators taking damage to that of raptors taking damage, so that they don't sound like horses? :) I love my immersion 😊
Gladen  [author] Jan 12, 2023 @ 12:53pm 
Some things if there is potential actual bugs it might get fixed upon next update. Alot of small bugs and minor stuff has been cleaned up. But I'm without internet at the moment so the process is on hold.

Regardless, I believe playing on classic turns and no bigger maps than "L" keeps the game stable in my opinion.

On YouTube Craigatron plays 9 mods with Shadow Realm included with Wasteland Expansion and on all series it crashed one time. It occured where 6 stacks fought at the same time. After the battle it became to much and the game crashes. It's very rare and I would say it can happen in heavy loads on CPU. But it's very rare. 1 crash on 100+ videos Id say is very stable.

But some people has maybe different experience and get more unlucky moments. Hard to define.
ronehjr2262 Jan 12, 2023 @ 12:10pm 
Thanks for responding. Ram is definitely not the issue. I usually run extra large maps, I assumed AOW3 was 64 bit, and I never thought this would be the problem.
HousePet  [author] Jan 11, 2023 @ 2:02pm 
We've never been able to reproduce this bug and I think it has only been reported once or twice before.
It is unlikely to be an issue with the mod itself, as it really is just a load of content. A fault in the content wouldn't trigger anything on end turn. It would be a crash on loading, or looking at something.
That leaves two possible areas to check: File corruption and ram issues.
To address file corruption, tell Steam to validate the game files for AoW:3; and also unsubscribe from this mod(s), delete the local files, then resubscribe.
For the ram check, try playing with smaller map sizes and also see how much spare ram you have when running the game. Note that the engine is only 32 bit, so if you run many other mods you may be exceeding what the engine itself can handle.
ronehjr2262 Jan 11, 2023 @ 12:46pm 
The game crashes when I end my turn. Only with this mod. I do not have autosave turned off. The game autosaves a couple of seconds after the end turn. So when a crash happens immediately after the turn ends, the autosave is no longer happening.
Gladen  [author] Jan 10, 2023 @ 8:06pm 
@ronehjr2262

Could you be more specific since you say it's only this mod? Does the game usually crash in tactical battle, strategic map, in menus?

Lots of unit movement? Abilities used? Reading tome of wonders? Late turns like turn 100 - 250? Do you play XL map? Pressing specific buttons fast so Ul crashes?

Combine this mod with others?

Even if the game crash you should have the turn before the crash occured? Autosave does not save upon crashes. The game cannot magically remove files unless the autosave is turned off. The game crashes in vanilla aswell for alot of people due to memory issues and it crashes aswell for me even with other mods or no mods due to the game engine does stuff on its own as it's pleases since it's a 32bit engine.
ronehjr2262 Jan 10, 2023 @ 1:55pm 
I was wondering if anybody else had this issue with the mod. Sometimes the game crashes, and in addition I lose my autosave. This is the only mod that causes this problem.
ronehjr2262 Dec 21, 2022 @ 7:06am 
I thought for sure I had SR RMG on, but I didn't. Sorry.
Gladen  [author] Dec 21, 2022 @ 2:13am 
@ronehjr2262

Do you use Decodence + Shadow Realm base mod + Shadow Realm RMG mod + "Press restore default" in advanced setting before generation a map?

Tell us if that is the case and return when you have done these steps
ronehjr2262 Dec 20, 2022 @ 9:47pm 
I am not getting the actual shadow realm. I get the shadow elves and all the new units, nut not the realm itself.
HousePet  [author] Aug 11, 2022 @ 5:21am 
If there is another mod that alters layers active, it might be interfering with Shadow Gate generation.
All Shadow Realm starts should have a nearby Shadow Gate, even if they are on a Shadow Island.
Gladen  [author] Aug 11, 2022 @ 2:41am 
@Naplucia

If you press ctrl + c and type"Barentz". Can you see a shadow gate on the map?

If not. Then you need to press " restore default" before you generate a random map.
Naplucia Aug 11, 2022 @ 2:26am 
I got a weirds maps creation:
after 92 turn of shadow elf (start at shadow world). I note i was in a "island" surrounded by void without shadow gate...
That void just jailed me and that not the first time.

That's normal or i miss something like go through the void?
Gladen  [author] Aug 2, 2022 @ 2:28am 
@Zerolliz

Great that it solved everything
Aranenesto Aug 2, 2022 @ 1:10am 
i renamed the folder causing the game to make a new one and it works again.

Try resubscribe and redownload mod. Remove the content folder locally in your user content folder and see if you get any difference.
