The .lua files are in the ses.kfs file. You can extract them using something like 7zip.

Uhm so is it enough if I just move the .lua files you gave to that folder ? or do I need to like unpack the file u said and then pack it again? kinda confused about it ;s

I'd recommend completely deleting all of the .lua files right now, so it's not reading them instead of the new ones. Once I get a chance to check out the new patch, I can see which things are still broken and re-implement them with the new files.

No rest for the weary... thanks a bunch. I think about half of our fixes will still be needed (Skald crash is still happening, no word in diplomacy yet and I saw very few unit-specific fixes).

Do you mind adding the alfheim fix to a different zip in a mod section? I am sure I'm not the only one who likes this version better... in fact, it's the most fun I've had playing a skald. I also had another idea for overhauling the bard songs, here, for the sunny day when all we have to worry about are mods we want.

Oh, sorry. Ok, if you want to use the bugfixes that you downloaded from this thread, all you need to do is extract them into that folder. You only need to get them from the .kfs file if you want to modify them yourself.

Right now I'd recommend not using the bugfixes from this thread, however, until they've been updated with the latest patch. There may be some conflicts.

Hmm well doesnt seem like moving the files into the folder works o_O Well dont really know how to check ... was looking at the Sense Weakness skill it was giving more than 7% crit chance before but I dont notice any difference in the crit % of my troops =/

also I dont know if it was mentioned before but the spell Heat Focus seems to be crashing the game for me whenever I try to cast it =/

One more thing I gotta ask ... the fixes they work on loaded games right ? Not only on new games ? oO

We need some time to pull out the updated game files and go through to see how they implemented their fixes on items we've been fixing ourselves. Then we'll upload a new package.

All of our fixes would apply immediately - they aren't to game files which are stored in a save but rather applied to files the game loads when you start it up. I'm not an expert, but I think what happens is it looks in that addon folder and uses the files we put in there instead of what's buried in the game files. The good part about that is you can always remove or modify those without hurting the integrity of the base game.

For those who can't open the game right now but want to start playing with the updated game files from wherever they are... I'm rather heartbroken about the Maidens having their Call of Valhalla freshly bugged if you want a target.

Edit - removing attachment. Some players are using it and causing themselves problems. It wasn't for using, it was for modding purposes only.

[Bhruic]

That would be me. Thanks.

I'm going to be re-doing the first post to try and ensure it accurately reflects the latest patch, so if a fix isn't there, it hopefully was "officially" fixed.

[Bhruic]

Alright, updated the first post. There were a surprising number of bugs still present.

Right now I just need confirmation on whether Last Hero is still crashing the game, and what changes were made to the Song of Alfheim. And then I can start in on the new bugs.

[camelotcrusade]

Several people have said the Skald crash is still in the game. RE song of alfheim I am not sure yet... I believe only the description was updated as it was apparently WAI. Bah.

Also, I recommend keeping a previous version around in case you need to reference old code that actually worked before they "fixed" it.
