Problems After Patch 1.3

[Joria]

I'm playing a merchant at the moment so will check that out.  You do get more money on sales when you are higher levels.  By the time you are level 10 you are really reaping in a lot of cash.

EDIT:  Ok, my merchant was supposed to receive $4, 350 from sales but instead received $2,575.  !!  What's up with that?  I do know prices fluctuate but there is a definite discrepancy from what the box says and what you get.  She sold multiple KINDS of swords.  Next time I'll try with one kind of sword and see what happens.

All-righty then.  I bet if you looked at that box where it says what sold for what, you only got the money from the one listed on the bottom.  Very frustrating.  Must be a glitch, I will be letting EA know about it tomorrow.  If other members could let them know as well...a loud squeaky wheel gets the grease faster.
thanks!

Joria this is just a shot in the dark, but are you able to create a new user account, install Medieval on new account to see if you still encounter all these same problems?  I have a Mac that I use 95% of the time, and an older PC with XP, so I'm not all that knowledgeable in windows 7.

[Joria]

You're right.  The amount I received was the amount the last items sold for.

[Joria]

I don't think so.  I could when I had XP but it was really very different from 7.  It seems like each OS has it's only little quirks and problems.  Finding something on 7 is supposed to be easier but it baffles me most of the time.

EDIT:  Ok, that's IT!  I AM DONE with this game.  At my age every second counts and I've wasted way too many of them trying to play a game that should be fun but no longer is.  I came so close to not only uninstalling it, but also pitching the disc.  The final straw was getting frozen in CAS and having to reboot my pc and lose everything I'd done.  I am OVER it.  When they finally fix it so everything works better I'll give it another shot but right now it's not worth the aggravation.  Fiesta here I come!

[chadgar24]

I called EA today to report this.  If anyone else is experiancing the same issue I strongly urge you to call 866-543-5425 and you can report this as well.  The gentleman I talked to said the more noise that is made about this the more likely it is a patch will come along.  I have a hard copy of the game for a PC if anyone was wondering.

All of my interactions are not showing up.  Also there are blobs of color that show around some of the icons in kingdon mode.  When I open up the board at the bottom.. The interactions are gone. Nothing is working well for me. I even re-installed.. Not sure what to do.

I wish I had the answers to the ones that cannot play the game or the game is running very poorly.  I am not sure what kind of video cards you guys have, but some of the things sound like that could be part of the problem.  I know there are settings in some video cards themselves, but I just know about nVidia.  When I was having some problems with my dynasty, I adjusted some settings within my graphics card and of course, tweeked my game and when I installed Medieval, I did some more tweeking and finally got it to where I could play on high graphic settings.  I wish I could help more or had more information.

[Joria]

Salty, I have an nvidia  graphics card as well and noticed the other day that were settings.  I did not mess with it at all for fear of really messing things up.  I did lower the graphics in my game to medium all the way around which left it less attractive but I figured I'd rather play than enjoy the scenery.  It didn't help.  I'm over my mad at the moment so, (picks crow feathers out of teeth), I'm going to fool around with those settings and give it a shot.  Do you remember what it was you adjusted and how?

[Saltypaws]

I know I changed my screen resolution to make the sims panel smaller and it really made it more crisp and I had to slow my mouse down after that, because it seemed to really speed it up and it made the picture more crisp.  If you have an nvidia control panel, you might want to go in and kind of look around.  I cannot for the life of me remember what else I did to improve the game.  I called my sister, because she is the one that initially found out what settings to use.  I do not want to guess at anything, because I would really feel bad if I told you to do something and it was wrong.  I wish I had more computer know how for things like this.

[Joria]

Sigh.  I agree.  I also wish I had more computer know how.  Basically what I found was adjustments for 3d stuff and I figured better to suffer and leave it alone then mess something up.  I can change the size of the screen though.
I have a huge monitor, 27 inches, and I fill it corner to corner with the visuals so maybe if I toned it down it would be better.  Thanks for trying Salty!

[Figwit]

I would suggest making your picture smaller. I have a large monitor too, and a fairly powerful computer, but do not use all the screen real estate.  I am sure you will find the game will run faster.

[Joria]

Today my physician was crafting potions and I discovered every time she made a recipe the ingredients were used to make the potion but a second set of ingredients went from her craft table, which I had fully stocked, to her inventory!  I had to then replace them into the table but I've never had this happen before.  Anyone else had this?
Same thing with blacksmith.  As you use an item you've stocked, the game takes them from the stocked table or forge and places them in your backpack inventory along with the completed item.

EDIT:  Any other glitches you guys have noticed could be talked about here as well.  For instance, I had not noticed we don't get the full amount for our sea travel sales but only the amount for the last item sold.  If you have more than one kind of a type of item, like DIFFERENT swords, for sale, you only get the amount for the last type of sword you sold and not the entire amount of the sales.  This can definitely affect how you play your merchant and make sea trade a less than profitable venture.  Thanks to Chadgar for bringing that one to our attention!

[mtglady]

I usually don't stock the forge or the crafting tables so I would not have noticed this.  I will check it out when I play again tomorrow. 
That's really not a bad glitch/bug because at least they would never run out of ingredients that way . 

[chadgar24]

I have not noticed that because I never stock anything.  but next time I play I will try stocking and check it out
