Ice and fire Bugs

[Jazzer32]

Here is the list of Ice and fire bugs I encountered so far:

- Advisors : Whenever I battle advisors game crashes when they try to use one of their special abilities (waving their spear/wand in circular motion). Using magic shackles prevents that.
- Ratmir : After collecting 5 ornaments/patterns and giving it to him, whenever u click option "show me your goods" game crashes to desktop. Before u give him ornaments that option works fine.
- Miners: sometimes there is a message when they need to act "label not found: add_blog_miner_master_giveap2". I click "ignore" and everything continues normal
- Lizardmen arena: When i need to suppress "bracers of power" and when I use Gudrida's rage in arena game freezes, and window with some error appears. After I click "ok" everything continues normally
- Avengers: They react to Royal Griffin's "Cheer" talent despite not being Human
- Guard droids: when they are in enemy army they use their "spotlight" talent totally on random. Often they blind their own allies and almost never my units
- Which hunters: they never use magic block talents
- Sacrifice spell: Sometimes when I use sacrifice spell , I'm getting critical hit (not sure is this deliberate or not). I don't think that sacrifice spell should have critical hit
- Spell Blizzard: I think that Blizzard spell SHOULD NOT destroy Ice spikes on battlefield (like those from "Lord of the North" rage ability for example)
- Alucard artifact: If u manage to get 2 Alucard artifacts there is a small bug. Lets say that u equip Alucard A, and Alucard B is in inventory, After u kill some dragons Alucard B will accumulate energy instead of Alucard A. Also, If u equip both, only one will accumulate energy (the other will stay at zero) no matter how many dragons u killed.
- Mask of Equilibrium : 4 "virtue" parts of mask give 52M (52,000,000) of gold after each victory (total 208M)
- Explosive barrels: enemy AI is hitting explosive barrels on battlefield without any sense - only damaging them self

[cabal2k]

- Scouts (Snow Elf) don't benefit from boni given by items like the elven bow (-10% leadership for elf, ranger, avenger and scout)
- Scouts even don't take benefit from the Avenger

[Jazzer32]

- killing a sheep: If sheep is killed by weapon that leaves charger (warrior maiden's spear of wrath or Hilda's arrow) game crashes, both times enemy unit was last on battlefield (not sure if this is important)

[Morloc]

I crash as well when trying to view Ratmir's goods.

I do believe the Royal Griffins cheer ability affects both elves and humans, and avengers are elves

U R right, my bad there

[ICECOOL]

This dlc is horrible bugged. I cannot enter that sea cave in elf island (right bottom on global map) and pirates downstairs on istering... Anyone?

[bluescneider]

advisor (lizardman): when (melee) attacking your unit, game crashes.

miners (dwarf): when attacking, game freeze, you have to click on a hidden "ok - ignore " (or something) pop un window, and the game continue.

rage ball: if an enemy reach a rage ball, attack one of your unit capable of creating rage balls (demons) and die, game crashes.

antidote bug: if you taste the antidote (+ 2% poison resistance), every fight after this event become related to the quest of the vampire hunter. If you don't taste the antidote, everything is fine.

weird amout of gold after masque of virtues battles

Liardman quest to find new land: Whwn you return from the archmage to the lizardman leader, there is no option to make the liardman leader sign the document (so it's not possible to finish the quest)

When you suppress/upgrade lizardman artefacts, if you use some rage power the game freeze, you have to click ignore in a pop up window and the game continue.

[camelotcrusade]

I don't know if posting bugs here does anything... I have been sending bugs I find to support(@)1cpublishing.eu. They will ask for save games so it helps to get organized before you report them.

I've seen some of these bugs too. I get crashes when I try to hover over the skills and abilities of some of the units, in particular robbers, druids and marauders, which sometimes makes me afraid to read about units I haven't encountered yet.

Anyway, I hope you guys do some reporting, some of these come up a lot so maybe they will prioritize them.

1. Ice Dragon does not have rune, even when he obtain +rune on level up or Rune Magic.

2. Dragon Quiver Leadership bonus does not apply to Scout.
[Workaround: go to special_params.txt, add elf_hunter as shown below

sp_lead_archer {
cmc=1
params {
units=bowman,archer,elf,elf2,elf3,elf_hunter
}


3. Scout is tagged as Dead Lizardmen. I can't view their race, the race logo is blank.
[based on the elf_hunter.atom, it seems that if you change race=elf, the race logo does appear and Scout becomes elf.
Race=ice_elf causes Scout to have no race(still viewed as dead lizardmen)]

[Jazzer32]

Artifact "Holy Water" - After u equip that artifact it casts Holy shackles on enemy undead at the beginning of every battle. But, After u put holy water back in inventory it still casts Holy shackles (It lasts till u exit the game)

[sethmage]

Living book increases your call of nature spell by 1500%. At 61 intellect without the book I have 7,897 leadership troops available, with the book (+2 intellect) 132,592.

[natascha]

It seems that Demon and Royal Griffin won't get damage parameter increase on lvling up. Too bad..

Apparently, for balancing purposes (I guess). Possible High-Damage unit (tier 1 and tier 2) won't be having damage parameters at all.

[barbacot]

If you use the antidote from Irwin on Merlassar to cure Ele Taera then Van Tallinn is offering the reward for monsters hunt quest after every battle.

[cabal2k]

On Island "Ice Gardens" in "Cave of Mysteries" the game frequently crash to desktop during fighting some the lizardman units wandering around (not all of them).

Anyone too or is it me only? Any workaround solution?

Thanks for the workaround! I can't seem to locate special_params.txt on my system though (windows 7 with hidden files/folders shown) :(

[spork]

Ignore that, I figured it out :wink:

[fantasy1988]

Crystal Collector Award stop updating. I have 175 but it displays 142.

My game crashes evrytim I want to enter portal after fight with Runorm in Galskap Mountain; Merlassar sea cave and descent down to the smugglers passage on Istering...and i cant move any further

[Karmana]

Where is it?

[Metathron]

The kamikaze spell freezes the game.

[Karmana]

Living book (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=41578)

Living book % is broken

[cabal2k]

Anyone know if they working on a patch and release it ASAP?

Cannot be that the game crashes later in the game so that no one can complete it...:confused:

[Metathron]

They are working on a patch, just take a better look at the sticky threads.

The game seems to crash at different places for different people, and I was able to complete it.

[aristobal]

What do you think evil book is bugged or not? It produce great damage in comparision with pure spells.

Really? I dont belive u that u manage to finish that dlc. That ANYONE finished it. And I dont meant difficulty level - this "impossible" in this dlc is fuckin hilarious.

This is disaster... I never, ever again buy dlc from IC few days after release. AND if the dont fix this -will never buy a game from them. So fuckin dissapointed...

That does suck about the crashing bugs. I haven't had them myself. And you're right about the difficulty on Impossible. I'm playing as a Mage and, like always in KB games, Very Hard and Deadly stacks are no problem at all.

[ryllen]

The skill Persuasion didn't perfectly. at level 3, the moral penalty is still -3 for lizardmen and dragon... is there anyway to fix this?

[Jazzer32]

Awards - Favorite of Valkyries: When u reach Medal 3 order (if u 40 times use Valkyrie abilities), U automatically reach medal 5 order (also at 40 uses)

[ryllen]

I solved this issue myself by editting the ses file. Use Winrar to open it and edit its morale.txt.
From:
lizard { greendragon,blackdragon,reddragon,dragon_ice=-3,hint_morale_lizard}

to something like below:
lizard { greendragon,blackdragon,reddragon,dragon_ice=-3,hint_morale_lizard,tolerance<3 }

just add the tolerance<3 the skill persuasion shall works perfectly:)

[paatso]

Hi, I can't get any new rage powers, just the one I got at the very beginning. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong. My hero is at level 11 and no improving with those powers, nothing new and no upgrade to that fist power.

[Metathron]

You have to meet and recruit the first Valkyrie before you get a new rage skill as well as experience for them.

[paatso]

Thanks, that did it! But now I think I screwed up some quest doing them in wrong order, because I don't get those wings from soothsayer. Damn.

[Metathron]

If you're playing the Ice and Fire add-on, you get them much later in the game.

[paatso]

Okey, thank you so very much!

[Metathron]

You're welcome, even with all the bugs there's some enjoyment to be had in this game!

[CorwinM]

I got the weirdest bug, and I don't know how to solve it. After reaching level 50, I was just about to go into the realm of dwarves, but I decided to upgrade couple of items first. After I upgraded one of the staffs (I don't remember the name, I am at work), a dialogue with Van Tallinn begins, which ends with him giving me Vampire Crown. I already killed that Ghoul and already got one. OK, I said, weird, but whatever.

Imagine my surprise when after every bloody battle the same dialogue appears, and I get another Vamipire Crown. I must have had 40 at one point. He gave me a task to kill that, I think, dragon on Riftland, so I hope once I kill him th ebug will be over. Any solutions? I really don't want to cheat, so I am selling all the crowns for 12.5k at castles, but this is really annoying.

Anyone who used Warrior Maidens notice that their Messenger of the Gods passive ability no longer increases the Initiative of Viking units? I remember it working perfectly fine in regular buggy Wotn, but now in Ice and Fire its not working at all. I guess i could manually tamper with the files to get it working, but I gave Ice and Fire a try to see if some of the hordes of bugs from Wotn were fixed, and the first new original Wotn unit is now bugged... Suffice it to say that is enough for me to throw in the towel after dealing with enough bugs from Wotn to last a life time.

Workaround Elven Bow bug with leadership:
- go to special_params.txt and add elf_hunter as shown below

sp_lead_elven_archer {
cmc=1
params {
units=bowman,archer,elf,elf2,elf3,elf_hunter
}

[Delmoroth]

I crash any time I try to go to Merlassar. Very sorry I picked up the expansion without waiting several months. The way most game companies have their customers beta test now is very annoying.

You are wrong.
If you thing that the actual game version is beta then you believe that (in a far far future) there will be released a ready-to-play end-version of WotN or Fire&Ice.

The game always crashes if you kill a sheep with hilda arrows.

LOL... sooo true.

It's sad to see that this franchise has gotten to this state even before we have gotten to KBII. Heroes of Might and Magic only became this terrible and unoriginal, churning out expansions that added nothing and were uninspired by the time of the third game.

The sad thing is, some people still keep buying these "knockoff" KB games (I have no better word for it), ensuring they get the money to make more instead of listening to criticism and giving the licensce back to the original Katauri developers.

[Snow11]

I've had constant crashes every second time I use Chosha's Initiation skill. Any help because that's my favorite unit? I use v1.3.1 build 6280. Thanks!

[Adamusinus]

In polish version of Ice and fire, when i get map to Ice gardens, island isn't reveled on the global map. When i change language to english island is on the map and i can travel to it, but when i change back to polish, island will not be on the map. I'm using Steam version of the game.
