Crash help
Hello everyone, creating this help section for everyone to post crashes and get help about it.

I'm afraid that, due to the games's sometimes random way of dealing with mods and submods, my answer will often be : deactivate and reactivate the mod in the correct order.

Yeah sometimes the game often doesn't find files that do exist, and are, at times, not even linked to my mod.

Anyway I will try to help.

Cheers,

Moussticot.

hi hi - great mod btw, been playing it a bit now. for some reason my tanks aren't able to use HE shells - they just go back to HEAT. any idea what might be causing this?

Hi, weird bug.
Can you confirm that you use no other mods? All of the tanks are stuck to heat? Or only some?

Glad you appreciate it nonetheless

might be on my end - using another mod and been messing with some of the files, any idea what might be causing it from a file pov?

Ah yes I understand, think my mod is not the culprit here as I played it yesterday. But, will check anyway.
Maybe you can look towards the .preset or pattern files in stuff/gun that defines a lot of things gun related. Maybe the problem is there.
Otherwise, if the problem is ammo related, the ammo shells are always named the following : nameofammoshell.he.ammo. or .heat or .ap (see?). So for some reason the game would not be able to recognise the HE ammo.
That's where I would look but no promises the solution is there

Hi Moussticot, looking for some help here I continue to get the same crash every time I try to play conquest. I've only grabbed french units as that's what I'd like to test out, but every time I launch a conquest mission it loads to 100% and crashes. I have a screenshot if you'd like me to forward it?

Edit: I forgot to mention I'm using the Mod manager. Also don't know if its useful info, but when I launch the game and look at the extras tab My mod order is as follows. Hotmod, French conquest, Federov skins, West-81 and conquest V2

Hi Snake, you can forward the screenshot and I'll have a look. Might not be related but in your mod order you mentionned "fedorov skins", beware there is a WW2 and cold war skins mod by FEDOROV. you sure you activated the good comradivan's coldwar skins?

Anyway, using the mod manager is usually fine. When I do, I activate Hotmod ingame first, close the game, use the mod manager to add : Comraivan cold war skins, west 81, CEV2 and my mod. Works well most of the times.

If the crash at 100% persists, try unsuscribe the mod and reactivate it after subscribing again.
Moussticot  [developer] Sep 4, 2023 @ 3:59pm 
did you try the following to create the conquest? Normal difficulty, normal ressources (don't worry its hard anyway cause of CEV2) and unlimited lengh?
Moussticot  [developer] Sep 4, 2023 @ 4:03pm 
Just launched a conquest on my end (only french units) and it worked well, but who knows, no pc config is the same

I'm probably gonna scrubbed my workshop mods and re download them to see if that works. I was using the Federov cold war reskins didn't know there was a WW2 one. I love the cold war themes for most games which they'd made a dedicated Rts in this style.

Good news Scrubbing my mods worked having quite a bit of fun. Bad news not sure if its intentional, but there are some vehicles in the french tech tree that lack any spare ammunition. So far I've only identified 2 those being the M2a1 Browning portable machine gun and the M4 Sherman 76. Both of these have zero reserve ammunition.
Moussticot  [developer] Sep 5, 2023 @ 12:25am 
Okay, nice to know for the first problem. About MH2B and Sherman 76 I will check but in my memories, there were working fine. if I need to update them I will
Snake Sep 5, 2023 @ 1:17am 
I took screenshot I can forward if necessary.
Moussticot  [developer] Sep 5, 2023 @ 1:36am 
Yep go ahead
