The game crashes randomly every time and it crashes when I choose another map/mission ex. I just played some Freebuild, I load a Siege map and then it crashed. Every single time.


Also Siege maps are way too hard, nobody can win them.....nobody.

I noticed that if you have Steam running in offline mode, and try to host a multiplayer game, you end up stuck on a screen with no UI, so no way to go back, meaning you have to force quit Stronghold.

Should it be possible to host a game in offline mode? To play over a LAN?

Do you create custom maps at all? if you do have you checked to see if they crash also? since the patch i crash every single time without fail on my custom maps.

Well the game probably uses steam as online component so it wouldn't work without now would it ? ;P

If that crash issue happens to you, please make a POST about it in technical forum. Crashes are *Not* bugs I can list here, because they have hundreds of causes and are not simply explained by a "crashes" line

Anyhow, i sorted the list now into unfixed and fixed, makes it easier to see.. that the list is still monumental

Just thought I'd mention that food production for bakeries seems low, or the peasents eat too much or something, also I experience major connection issues in multiplayer. I get a "game has unsynchronized" message. Sometimes the game just crashes, and most of the time when I'm in the lobby and I'm ready to start the game, it just says loading game at the bottom of the screen and nothing happens, the game doesnt move to the loading screen where the players load.

I know what you mean, but I'm pretty sure other games using Steam's Steamworks doo-da work in offline mode. E.g. I see that Civ 5 uses Steamworks and works over LAN with Steam in offline mode.
Also, if it's not supported, I think it should really detect Steam's online status and give you an error message or something rather than leaving you stranded with no way to get back to any other game modes.

I also wonder, how clever is the networking stuff? If you are playing on a LAN, all with Steam online, is all the traffic going to go out into the internet and then come back in again, limiting the bandwidth to that of your internet connection?

Still, there are plenty of more important issues that affect the playing of the actual game before this sort of thing needs to be looked at.

Great job on this list by the way!

Thanks But you ought to ask Firefly as to the "why" and "how" of their online system. Personally I am just hoping they fix half the stuff in the list...

they also can put moats in it, in game, not map editor..
like in Crusader, that was cool and only light units can build this.

So yeah, i just feel the urge to put this list on the first page again.. 3 days of no patches .. and i have still no clue what the last patch fixed (various small bug fixes.. but what do they consider small?)
