☎️ Bug Report / Help Service Thread
BEFORE POSTING HERE, PLEASE CHECK

This thread will list all currently known bugs. If you find a new bug please let me know here.

Currently known bugs: 0

Guide: READ THIS BEFORE POSTING HERE

1. MOD LOAD ORDER:

1. make sure to use the mod loading order that i mentioned on the steam mod page of this mod or the mod loading order that i mentioned within my submods/comp. patches!

2. CORRECT MOD VERSION

make sure to use the correct mod version of BG (and all other mods) by comparing the file size in paradox mod launcher with the file size shown on the workshop mod-page. if file sizes divert from each other then you know your mod has not been updated correctly

3. HOW TO RESET/UPDATE BG OR OTHER MODS CORRECTLY

... you can always unsubscribe and resubscribe. but sometimes that's not enough. in such cases do this:

3.1. BG
delete this entire folder from your PC: Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\1158310\3225355262 and then unsubscribe and resubscribe to BG. Verify that Steam is downloading the mod, and then try to run again. You may have to repeat this step a few times to get it working. This is a common problem with Steam and can't be fixed by mod authors

3.2. OTHER MODS
go to steam mod workshop page and click on the "share" button => then you will get the link of the mod ID f.e. 3225355262 for BG
=> then you know you need to delete this entire folder from your PC: Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\1158310\ mod ID

4. DO NOT USE INCOMPATIBLE MODS!
how to know if a mod is compatible? check this: ❓Compatibility List and if you can't find a certain mod within that list, then simply ask within this Compatiblity List Thread and i will check this mod for compatibility with BG and BG submods

Guide: If you experience crashes/freezes/other bugs

Please upload and post screenshots of your paradox mod launcher
... showing all the mods you are using including the file size+mod loading order so i can check them or simply send me the json file/code showing all the mods of your mod playlist and their mod loading order

Also please feel free to contact me via Discord: ajey4935

I have few questions:
- during sieges, army entities look quite separated as seen in the https://imgur.com/a/nEK7YfS. I believe this is due to fact that these armies lack any of the siege weapons therefore space between them is basically empty.
- would it be possible to disable culling effect while zooming in and out? whether by deleting a code line(s) or something?

This mod is really cool, I love how it works. But I've found a bug. When this mod is installed, you can't change your camp purpose.

See how it looks without the mod installed: https://i.imgur.com/LxFSEDR.png

See how it looks with the mod installed: https://i.imgur.com/iEZZcVn.png

If this gets fixed I'll definitely install again.
1. this mod does not change anything that is related to the camps or camp purpose or UI in that regard.
2. it's working fine for me. i just checked again and tried to encounter the same issue that you mentioned with your screenshots, but i wasn't able to replicate your issue when using battle graphics mod. are you sure your bug is being caused by this mod and not another mod or might it even be possible that it is a vanilla (= no mods) issue?
3. i can only fix a bug if i am able to encounter it myself in game. if i can't replicate your issue, then i don't know how to fix it.
4. did you verify that your bug is really being caused by this mod by turning off all other mods and checking if this bug is showing up only with battle graphics mod turned on? and if so, did you also check if the bug was gone when this mod was turned off?

=> if you did that then please go to: "./documents/paradox interactive/crusader kings III/save games" and upload your save game somewhere so i can download it. maybe i would be able to replicate your issue this way.

thanks in advance!
I've encountered a bug.
The model for western Iran is the same as that for west Africa.
And I've only used one mod for BG.

Battle Graphics mod does modify the units (armies) you see on the map (see screenshots of Battle Graphics mod that i included into the mod description). Battle Graphics mod does not modify images like those you posted here. this bug is not related to Battle Graphics armies that are modified by this mod and has nothing to do wtih Battle Graphics mod. If you think it is a vanilla (= no mods) bug, then please post this bug into the Paradox Forum bug report section. if you think this bug is related to another mod, then let the mod author of that other mod know about it. either way, this is nothing that i could help you with because my mod didn't cause this bug and has nothing to do with it.

I am running near vanilla with mods that only change the graphics of my UI and the terrain of the world and this mod causes crashes.
first of all please use this thread if you want to share possible bugs related to battle graphics mod or if you have any further questions. i want to keep things clean. thanks in advance.

secondly, i never encountered a crash when using this mod. i didn't change any major things recently as well. i don't know why you think that this mod is causing a crash for you and if you really made sure that not another mod itself or an incompatibility conflict with another mod is causing your issue or if there is maybe also a vanilla bug that is causing your crashes.

however, since i am not able to see any crashes when i use this mod i am afraid i won't be able to reproduce your issue. i can only fix possible bugs if i am able to reproduce them.

so here is what i would do if i were you:
1. make sure that not another mod is the cause of your issue
2. make sure that not another mod is causing an incompatibility conflict with BG
3. and check if your issue is also happening without using this mod
4. try to verify your game files (right click on ck3 on steam and go to verify game files)
5. follow the steps i mentioned within this thread (how to unsubscribe and resubscribe)
6. if nothing helps, go to .documents/paradox interactive/crusader kings III/logs/error.log => upload that file somewhere, so i can check it out (you can also add me on discord or steam if you need further help)
7. if you are sure that this mod is causing an issue for you and if nothing else helps, then simply turn it off

I have no idea why, but when running your mod all of the sword court artifacts are invisible, and don't show in the court room. It's not gamebreaking or anything, but just FYI.

first of all thank you for sharing your experience. but please use this bug report thread if you need help or if you want to report a bug. i want to keep things clean. please also use this thread for further discussion related to such topics. thanks in advance!

almost all of Battle Graphic mod's files are separated from vanilla. the only connection between CK3 and BG are 3D unit models and the links within culture files.

BG does not modify anything that is related to court rooms and court room 3D models incl. court room weapons or other artifacts.

from that fact alone it's super unlikely that BG will ever cause issues that are not related to those previously mentioned points.

now when it comes to your mentioned bug i.e. invisible court artifact swords when using Battle Graphics, then make sure that your bug is not related to BG before posting pls. the proper steps to making sure your issues are caused by BG are:

1. try to look if the bug is visible when not using ANY mods (not even BG) => if yes, then it's a vanilla bug
2. try to look if the bug is visible when ONLY using Battle Graphics (no other mods) => if yes, and if the bug is not visible when trying (1) then yeah, it might really be Battle Graphics mod that is causing an issue

when i try to go through that process, then i manage to find some invisible swords in court room indeed by only using battle graphics mod (i.e. 2 => positive). however, when i then also test if the bug is showing up when not using any other mod then i also see that the same swords are invisible if i don't use any other mod (i.e. 1 => positive). therefore i conclude this bug is not related to Battle Graphics mod because it's also showing up without using any other mods. if your outcome is different please let me know.
i made further tests and it seems my previous test was wrong. there seems to be a new connection between unit gfx and court artifacts that leads to issues for some court artifacts when adding new unit gfx like BG does for providing more unit/army variety. i am not sure why this is happening yet. but i will further investigate and fix this asap. thank you for your report

edit: i just released an update to fix this bug thank you for your report!

I don't know why but this mod seems to make some artifacts invisible , curtana and the spear of the prophet for example
please read my reply of the previous posting. it's basically the same answer. BG does not modify court artifacts and this bug with invisible court artifacts does also show up when not using any mods at all. so i don't know why this should be caused by BG mod.

=> please verify that your bug is showing up with only using battle graphics mod AND also verify that the bug is NOT showing up when not using any mods at all before posting bug reports and please also use this thread for reporting bugs instead of the general comment section. i want to keep things clean. thanks in advance!

The game crashes upon entering after the MOD update, and even with the compatibility patch, the issue persists.
reply:
@7
i don't know which mods you are using with BG. but first you should try to follow the steps i wrote before: i.e. clean reinstall of BG + BG Comp. patches (take a look at the "ATTENTION" post just a few posts below). if nothing helps and if you are still getting a crash then feel free to write a more detailed bug report and share it within the ☎️ Bug Report / Help Service Thread . if you want to get my help by posting there, then don't forget to post a screenshot of a all the mods you are using within your mod playlist and the mod loading order etc. and i will try my best to help you. you can also contact me on discord or add me on steam and i will try to help you out :)

I am using this mod together with RICE, EPE, and VIET. Is it because I am not using the CFP mod?
My mod load order is as follows:
1. Ethnicities & Portraits Expanded [EPE]
2. Battle Graphics
3. Battle Graphics EPE Compatibility
4. Battle Graphics Zoom+Scale+Map Submod
I really like this MOD, but I can't use it right now
hi 7! i want to help you but i need further information and i would ask you to use this thread or to contact me on steam via PM or join the BG discord server and post there. the reason why i am asking for this is, because i want to keep things clean without bloating the comment section with one specific compatibility help/issue you have and i need further information which also requires more writing than the comment section allows.

so here is what i would ask of you:
1. please create a new playlist and test if you encounter a crash when only using BG (no other mods)
2. is your game still crashing when >> only << using BG? if yes, then i recommend to properly reinstall BG => look above (first post of this thread) how to properly reinstall mods: 3. HOW TO RESET/UPDATE BG OR OTHER MODS CORRECTLY and follow those instructions
=> if the game is still crashing for you then feel free to contact me again and i will ask further information from you ... again: this is for ONLY using BG for testing purposes please don't use other mods when doing this
3. if you can run BG alone but you can't run BG with other mods then this is how to proceed:
3.1. make a screenshot showing your full mod playlist. it's not enough to simply mention a few mods and make some assumptions. if you want my help then i need full and proper information, so i can help you investigate the cause for your compatibility issues. if you want to try to find out alone which mod is causing incompatibility issues then you can try to turn off mods until your game is not crashing anymore

i hope this helps and please use this thread for further discussing your issue. thanks in advance!

_____

update about this topic: meanwhile it was verified by 7 that BG is not causing a crash when being used alone. the reason for the crash will therefore most likely be a compatibility conflict. 7 was looking for the mod that is causing it. will update this topic once i have more information

____

update
7 contacted me on steam. 7 managed to find out that two outdated mods that 7 used caused the crash issue when being used with Battle Graphics. 7 turned those two mods off and now everything is running fine according to 7.
=> this topic is closed

Hi there thank you for the mod. Since 1.15 I'm now experiencing a wierd bug in my mod list that only by disabling Battle Graphics + 2 BG Comp patches, returns clothing/crown change functionality to normal. Any ideas or suggestion of load order change, please note this modlist worked fine prior to 1.15 release! Any help would be greatly appreciated. (BG & patches are located in the last quarter to the end, you should see this collection as setup for creator visability)

Many Thanks

Clothing functionality not working correctly
===> FIX Turn off All 3 Battle Graphics Mods
DETAIL: Custom ruler is not reassigned any clothes or crown based on culture or stature when exiting the designer or starting.
AI Irish/Nordic cultured people have bed clothes by default and never appear to change them unless done manually in barbershop

hi! thank you for your report. unfortunately i can't access your link. it states:
Sorry!
An error was encountered while processing your request:

There was a problem accessing the item. Please try again.
could you maybe provide the necessary access rights or alternatively make screenshots showing your mod playlist, so i can check it?
thank you!
PS. i hope you already tried to do a clean reinstall of all BG mods, see:
3. HOW TO RESET/UPDATE BG OR OTHER MODS CORRECTLY .. section within the first post of this bug report thread!

edit: now the link does work. i am going to check it :)

Have set to public from hidden hopefully helps, I thought hidden would allow mod authors included access. It could be as I have recently created to collection and needs authorisation :)

yeah like i said via edit. now i can see it :)
it's a lot of mods. i will go through all of them to check for potential compatibility issues. could take a bit though. i will try to come back to you within the next 24 hours. nonetheless i highly recommend to do a clean reinstall of all BG mods just in case some of your BG mods didn't update automatically as they should via steam (common issue with steam unfortunately)

edit: i can't see your mod loading order. would be great if you could post a screenshot showing your mod playlist loading order as well. thanks in advance!

PS: you can upload screenshots via imgur.com/upload (and then share the link here) or you can join discord and contact me directly

thanks i will go through it like i said because i am interested in finding out which mod is incompatible with BG. however when you are using a mod playlist of 100+ mods then don't be surprised if you encounter a ton of bugs and incompatibilities between those mods. i would never use such a big mod playlist. risks for bugs/incompatibilities is huge here. usually you can try to find out which mods are causing issues between each other by turning mods off/on until you find the mods that are causing issues for you.

there is also a difference between finding a bug that is caused by a mod or running into compatibility issues. a bug caused by a mod is something that can only be fixed by the mod author of the mod that is causing the bug. a compatibility issue is something that can either be fixed by a compatch or by you turning off one or more of the incompatible mods. i am pretty sure you are using one or more incompatible mods together with BG and that's why you are running into issues with BG. now it's up to you to turn off BG (if you prefer to use those other mods instead of BG) or you could turn off the incompatible mods and play with BG. i will soon know which mods are incompatible and then you will be able to decide if you prefer to use BG or those other incompatible mods ;)
