Classic Campaign

Hello, i wanted to ask if classic wbc 3 campaign is stable? I'm getting crash in random situations on all maps :/

Yes it is, as of v1.03 (before it didn't work well on the northen maps with snow, but with 1.03 patch this was fixed). So your crashes could depend on somewhat else, maybe compatibility?

If you are referring to it when played through The Protectors, then yes - I personally played it through right to the end, testing every single map.

However, I only played it on easy where the AI doesn't get Mercenaries. If you take down the difficulty and it no longer crashes, then we have an issue with the Mercenaries. I did plan on going back through it on hard to specifically test this, but ran out of time.

Thanks Kharn. I'll check it as soon as i can. Is there any crash log file in The Protectors folder i can actually look in after crash?

Whoa, so is there a way to play the original campaign on TPC? Which file should I change to play it?

None, it's installed as a custom campaign with the original pack. Just go to singleplayer->c. campaign

Whoa, how did you manage to miss that all the time?


From my experience I had less problems playing campaign in previous version, then playing custom maps. I was play on hard.

Holy sheep, never saw that because I never went in the c. campaign section! I just go by skirmishes and I was getting bored of them... Good to know

Not in the public release. The only log you'll get is the start up log, which only flags up issues preventing the game from starting. Once the game is running - it assumes it won't crash so it won't generate any more logs.... apart from "ending" the startup log.

The development crew do have a debug mode, but it's so horribly slow that it'll only cause frustration to the public, so it's never included in the bundle. Besides, the crashes most people are having seem to be related to their operating systems and their system configuration.

At this point I believe there are only 2 issues that can cause a crash. One is to do with the speech banks when creating your very first Hero. The other is a very rare in-game issue which Joe encountered, but only once and after countless games played between us all and so have no leads as to what could have caused it. It was believed to have been caused by "workload" but I created a stress-test map which pushes the game to the point where it can't even draw all the units and effects on screen, but yet it still plays through to the end with no crashes. I've also had some recent long games (1 hour+) and still fine.

I think the picture I took was so cool, I'll even share it.

Masked by a Spoiler tag because Patrick doesn't like big pictures :p:

Played few classic campaign maps on easy difficult and didn't experience any crash. Thanks for help m8's
