Been having lots of fun with this game, but I ran into an odd problem tonight. Playing the Boeotian side in Scenario 17, I found that when I created a unit of Achaian Nobles that the graphics for them on the campaign map was rather mangled with the unit as a whole seeming to be broken with fuzzy edges. This was even more pronounced when I selected them later once inside a city...the graphics tore up on the unit showing the torso inside the city and the legs as next to the city. Now, once I got them into a 3D battlefield they then showed up as they were supposed to look with no glitches. They are still a mess, however, on both the 2D battlefield as well as the tiny icon of them on their unit in the battle set-up screen. I haven't seen this problem with any other unit, only the Achaian Nobles, and the rest of the game looks and plays just fine. I'm running the game on this system:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
2.20 GHz with 1 GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT with the current 71.89 driver set

My desktop is set at 1280 x 1024, but I've tried playing it at different desktop resolutions all with no difference. Thanks in advance to any help you can give me on this.

Sorry you're having problems. Can you try re-installing the game. Its possible that the graphics file became corrupt as it was installing. I've tried them here and they look fine.

Well, I reinstalled the game, this time from the CD you sent me as opposed to the digital download version in case the corruption was caused during my download. Unfortunately, I am still seeing the graphical corruption on these units. I have now tried creating them in several different nations as well with the same result. Each time when they appear on the campaign map, the graphics are glitched no matter which nation or where they appear. Odd that they seem to be fine on the 3D battlefield though. Are they using the same set of graphics images for both? In any case, any further suggestions would be most welcome.

Can you send a mail to bugs@slitherine.co.uk and we'll see if we can get it fixed.

Ah, one other thing to try - go to your games data\battle\units dir. Delete any .pcs files and try again. The .pcs files are cache files & it may have cahced the corrupt version.

I am having this problem, or something very similar, with Achaian Nobles in the Troy scenario of GoT

What was the fix?

It looks like the problem made its way into the Matric installer. We're not sure what caused it, but here is a link to explain how to fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience guys.


Matrix Achian Noble Fix

Yes, that fixed it, thank you very much
