Hi, just wanted to drop by and wish you all the best in the new year. Your work is incredible, unbelievable even and I'm sure there are many other silent enjoyers of the fruits of your labor like I.
Looking forward to 0.9 drop and all these incredible features which make an old, but beautiful game more accessible to the younger grognards, like myself.

Fireball crash:

Hi, this is a very common issue caused by the game itself. To avoid sync error you have to have the same base game version, absolutely same mods, same way of installation (e.g. if you patch from .73 to .731 instead of doing full install, your friend has to do the same) same way to apply the 4GB patch. Also if you get the error 1st time, try to launch exactly same match 1 or 2 times more. Also try to avoid using Necron race if it helps you. Sync errors are also more common with certain settings like map larger than 512 and no fog of war rule activated.

Good luck. It is tedious, but usually can be resolved in the end.

TLDR: it works

So just had a game on the beta branch Skallgrim mod.
Now I did not clear my folders previously or anything and had a functioning version of the rollback before changing to the beta, but in any case this allowed me to play the game as steam would not let me launch it. Also with the download size the first said something about 2gigs and then changed to 9 I think that it actually undid the manual rollback

Edit: to using or not using the beta - Game updates have a tendency to break mods. I hope this beta branch is not going away as this will serve as a safeguard in the event of future updates and allows people to play single player in peace.

Currently updating to beta branch, will let you know

Edit: heh 9.7GB update

Maybe this is a good opportunity to learn to work within these limitations. So many awesome ideas have come out in the cradle times of videogames, ideas that are no longer nurtured, just because with technology everything can just be made to go through the roof on raw power.

Howdy! Any tips for running this in multiplayer?
Since SWR.net seems to be discontinued I thought I would try using gameranger, but...
Gameranger doesn't recognize ROTR as a game. I've found this Youtube.com tutorial, but it requires me to rename the .exe for ROTR and I can't fin any exe in the latest version. I doubt it would work with the launcher. Any ideas? I basically need to get to a file that would launch ROTR directly, if I need to write some command line params I'm ok with that, but what should they be? Can't find any ROTR .big file either.

Hmm it might be that I don't have the mod installed properly, the launcher gives me the .net error when I run it, but all units in the armory show an introduction date of 1991 (all of them). Any way to make sure that I have everything installed correctly?

Also were did the Moderna go?
The whole new tank balance is strange. Are you trying to tell me, that merkavas should have higher frontal armor than modernized T72s? I mean, I won't dispute the armor on abrams A1 being the strongest in the time period, but the other armor balancing on tanks is strange to me.

Mesterlövész - is really not a term having to do anything with czechoslovakia or czech republik. It sounds like some term from the balkan might mean master hunter? But I don't speak those languages. Where did you come up with this as a scout for Czech army? I'll give you the proper term, but need to know what it is supposed to represent. A sniper?

Yo... Where can we post suggestions for changes or additions and such? Do you guys even want more of those anymore?

Confirmed. Eve when you correct the location for installer files it launches the game with error message: Unable to detect steam, shutting down game.

Sisters of Battle AI hunter killer missile spam fixed - This is why I shall surely download this huge patch. Thank you so much for this.

Insane range on sob artillery coupled with AI essentially ignoring Fog of war

I'm expecting both of you to have the steam version. Both of you need to reapply the latest NT core that should sort out the builds

Srry for double post...
I'm asking because I suspect RAM to be the greatest limiting factor here, but even with the patch the amount of RAM the game can use is still capped no? Around 8Gigs? I have 16 base RAM, around 13 free, it shouldn't need that much.

Well I've done the siege battle selection as adwised and applied the 4gb patches(large adress aware) before posting this I'll try another reinstall according to the newest tutorial and let you know...

Well somehow it now seems the mod runs properly from the bat file (didn't do anything, it just fixed itself after I opened it for edit and closed it again)
However I still seem to have odd crashes in custom battle.
Recommendations for avoiding crashes? What is the recommended amount of units per battle?

Hi is anyone here familiar with windows 8 changes to shell commands? I can't seem to run the game from the warhammer.bat since it cannot find the correct .exe files (I have created the kingdoms.exe it cannot find the base medieval2.exe) How can I edit/correct the .bat to run properly?

Placeholder means that it is an icon that is going to be replaced in the future with a better one

Basically you could say they do since dow II is canon :-)

Well when you cast invul when playing tzeench chaos sm it works for a limited time on all units - it even says so in the description ;-)

The changelog - all the wincondition - changed into blah blah. I'm just curious what happened in the background, there is even a partial explanation of the winconditions being from another mod or smth...?

check your soulstorm folder. If there is another soulstorm folder located within the first, take everything from it, cut and paste into the true ss folder. You made an error when installing 1.86.3

I have met this error before it was only related to multiplayer and would only crash for the first run, after running the game again it would not crash. Reinstall fixed it - base game thing.

What is with the winconditions? Someone sent you a copyright notice?

No probs, as long as you take it into account and either eventually put it in or dismiss it on some rational grounds, I'll be happy... Ehm I forgot. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. This mod has changed over the years from something I really hated and couldn't bring myself to play to the only mod I actually play ;-)

pls pls pls give us attachable warlocks... pls... Ok enough whining. But I've seen that concept and loved it so much. Like chaos gets attachable priests and marines get their apothecaries and such, eldar get the grav platforms and warlocks, it's so much more pleasing to have a dire avenger squad led by a warlock... Also jump ability for the corsairs or correct the description (they jump on table originally...)

You don't. You need the soulstorm datadisk/addon
