The Old World Campaign [UPDATED!!!]

TOW Bug Report Thread
Please do a quick look through The Vanilla Bug Tracker[community.creative-assembly.com] so you aren't needlessly reporting a bug here.

And please make sure you are on the latest version for both this mod AND Mixer! Steam does not always keep your local version up to date. Force it to get the latest by unsubscribing, waiting for a few seconds, and resubscribing to the mod.

If you report a bug tell me what other mods you are using and which faction you are playing. And which campaign, like the normal TOW campaign, classic campaign, etc. And if it is crashing then say exactly when it is crashing. Eg. "It crashes when loading to the main menu" or "It crashes when loading into a new singleplayer campaign".

The MacOS version of the game is sometimes (often) behind the Windows version. So basically, if you're running MacOS, say you are running MacOS. It's super important.

The best way to report a bug, if it's script-related and repeatable, is to enable script logging (it's a MCT option) and redo the action in-game. Then inside the log file, search for "ERROR", matching case. Post what it says on that line in this thread.

The actual game crash logs (from the AppData folder /The Creative Assembly/Warhammer3/crash_report/) are completely useless to me. To interpret them, it requires things that only CA has.

Things That are NOT Bugs (or maybe they are, but stop reporting them!):
  • MacOS (and Linux?) crash. Could be version related, could be some oversight in the port. Either way, I can't do anything about that.
  • Konquata's settlement building is weird. It's a vanilla bug, the settlement is that way in IE if a lizardman faction controls it...
  • Galleon's Graveyard and the Realms of Chaos are invisible when you aren't in them. This is not a bug! Why does this always get reported!?? This is disabled for now, but it's still not a bug!
  • Some regions are uncolored when you are zoomed out and looking at the color overlays, like the Winds of Magic map or diplomacy overlay. This is sort of a game limitation, only 1024 settlements work. But it's more like an oversight, since the exact same "thing" works with that frontend map that shows what regions a selected lord controls. It's because CA created both a .dds and .tga file that stores the exact same info, and one works properly and one doesn't... Anyway, I've done everything I can to minimize how noticeable it is, shoving the uncolored regions to the sides of the map.
  • Some minor faction leaders (Scourgeborn, for instance) don't have mounts. This is because those are DLC-only lords, their mounted versions are DLC-restricted, and you don't have the DLC.

Known Bugs/TODO:
  • Some desync issue with multiplayer (the reason ends up being that vanilla scripting is poorly optimized, and it doesn't scale well with number of factions. This is fixable, by the way. Be patient.)
  • Some victory conditions are bad/lazy
  • Karak Eight Peaks UI can't be hovered over to see the status of your buffs/debuffs. Instead it's a global effect bundle just to the right. I'll come back to this one...
  • Lots of areas need props and other details.
  • Kho/Tze/Sla Realms of Chaos need some polish

I tried loading the other 2 mods with the mods I was previously playing with and they seemed to be working fine so I'm assuming something happened in the latest update to break this mod. I don't own the latest DLC if that helps.

I choose Alariel to Elftown hero, and i have all hero in one place and cant move.

Artefact Vault for Ironbrow campaigns is bugged. You can capture settlements but they still have the mark round them and dont register that you are in control of the artefact

Means you are forever at high grudge level

I re-downloaded the mods and nothing happened. I looked in RPFM but I can't figure out the issue. I tried rolling back to 4.1.3 and that didn't fix the issue, even with just these 3 mods installed.

I get the exact same thing. Just crashes on game startup with the same message

Forbidden Workshop isn't working for me

Throt his starting settlement should have 2 building slots but only has 1, and when you get to tier three it has 2. Is this intended?

Minor Wood Elf factions can successfully complete Ritual of Rebirth, and receive the appropriate awards, but do not get Ariel.

The faction is Piña Wood.

He does when I play. I just looked. Check your other mods.

Managed to fix it by force downloading SFO+Mixu+TOW with the Mod Manager

How are you supposed to play as Astrogoth?
You can't move your army or hero

How are you supposed to play as any Bretonnia faction?
You can't complete any wows as they don't progress, so any army becomes extremely expensive.

Mods installed are this mod, MCT and mixu's Unlocker

Well that might have been true two mod updates ago, that's definitely not true now.
Just started a new game, they overlap.
So the campaign is near unplayable as you need to dismiss both your army and hero to be able to continue.

I had the same issue. Claiming seats as astragoth was impossible too, as well as trying to increase the unit cap for restricted chaos dwarf units with armaments after I had managed to get myself out of the astragoth-zhatan merged army trap.

Pretty sure you guys just need to update the mod manually. Unsub, resub.
