Coop Campaign

@Draco.exe Did you try to disable military and villager auto-queues in the lobby ? I notice that could lead to desync issue if you let this options enable when I am playing with my sister

Hey! We’re having a blast playing through the campaigns on Legendary. Some of them are however too easy, even on max difficulty (the ones where the AI is off, lol), and some are basically impossible - for example on FOTT 24 we had to dial it down to Titan, because the amount of giants is just too high - a pack of 10 every minute or so - we couldn’t even gather enough resources for a temple to start training Hersirs before they wrecked our town centres. Other maps we’ve beaten on Extreme at least.

What I’m saying is, some balancing could be useful, but otherwise everything is awesome!

Also I have a minor gripe - it’s very hard to know which map is which, because their names are only FOTT##. Maybe you could add the name of the scenario afterwards - for example ā€œFotT24 - The Well of Urdā€, so people could more easily find which scenario they have to host.
Barring that, at least post a list of the maps in the description, detailing which map number is which scenario.

Tried that, but unfortunately it didn’t work for us.

Thanks for the idea though!

Just an update!

After testing a few options, I managed to get it working.

When I enable the Original Voices Mod, the cutscenes and maps launch without any issues. Without that mod, the cinematics causes out of sync error (specifically ā€œInvalid file or directory errorā€).

My theory is the mod is using the Original Voices Mod as a requirement for some reason

Hope this helps to someone having the same issues as myself

Update : the mission 11 of Atlantis campaign seems impossible to win, because player 2 who plays Amon-Ra cannot enter inside the sky passage in the middle ( which is the main objective ).

One solution could be to let player 1 manage all the 3 heroes for example

Hi @OmaDesala,
I changed the win condition for that level so Amanra doesn’t need to garrison in the sky passage, she just needs to be close (within the walls surrounding the sky passage).
I realise that’s not very obvious to the player, so I’ll see whether I give all the heroes to player 1, or if it would be better to reword the objective to make it more obvious.

Seems the last game update broke something. Before the update, FOTT 32 was working fine on legendary difficulty (we got out asses handed to us a couple of times lol)
Now after the update, if we skip the cinematic it results in a desync, and if we don’t, the game starts but there is no AI, no attacks, nothing. Triggers still work though.
EDIT: same thing on Titan difficulty.
EDIT2: It seems all the campaigns may be borked, just tried TNA01, it didn’t have AI either, even on ā€œhardā€. :frowning:
EDIT3: I actually tried the single player campaigns, it seems the AI is universally broken. They didn’t attack me even once.

Any way to fix this on our end?

Hey @Vulpen, looks like today’s patch should fix the issue of campaign AI not loading. Hopefully that also fixes the AI in the coop levels.

So I’ve just finished the whole thing today, thank you very much! It’s completely crazy that one volunteer should have done the work of a whole dev team! In any case, you’ve given us a lot of extra hours of gameplay because I’d never have done all these missions again on my own. I hope that the upcoming Chinese missions will also be included. :face_with_hand_over_mouth::wink:

Hi dude sorry for bother but when i start the campaing its crash :frowning: i cannot play the firt level sad day

Hi @Bran2kun, without knowing more about the error message, platform, or other mods you have installed, it’s hard to give a reason why the level isn’t working.

My advice would be:

  1. If either of you have any other mods installed, try disabling them all. Other players have had issues when running mods for campaign voices or UI mods.
  2. Try playing the level a few times. While making the mod, I experienced a number of crashes that weren’t consistent, so it’s worth trying to play the level again and seeing whether it crashes at the same point every time.
  3. Try a different level. Some levels/cutscenes seemed more prone to crashes than others, so it would be good to know whether it’s just the first level that doesn’t work for you, or if none of them work.

Other than trying those things, it might be helpful to know which language and platform you are playing on (Steam, Xbox, etc.).

it happens in all scenarios. I get this error:

Game is not sync, we’ll try to restore the game with a previous savegame.

I can play classic multiplayer games.
Thank you.

I played through the ā€œArena of the Godsā€ campaign on Extreme difficulty with my friend.

Now we are looking for new challenges against the AI.

We came across this mod…
Unfortunately, this mod is only playable with a controller.

Now to my question, is there a way to play this mod with mouse and keyboard?

This mod is defintely playable with mouse and keyboard, why are you saying this ?

My mistake sry, we didn’t have crossplay enabled.
So that’s that.

I’ve noticed today that Mission 4 and 5 had their AI broken. Might have been broken by the Feb 27th update. Earlier missions work fine though.

Thanks for the heads up @Blackdark!

Looks like quite a few levels had AI broken by that update, but they should all be fixed now (version 2.3 of the mod).

Salutations, I am trying to play this mod with a friend. We played mission 1 of Fall of Atlantis without an issue; however, mission 2 immediately crashes my game upon loading. It only crashes my game and not my friend’s. We have no other mods enabled, and it does not matter who is hosting. I am able to play normal games fine and validating the integrity of the game through Steam does nothing. Any advise would be appreciated, thank you for your time.

Hi @ShyGuyLink, unfortunately I can’t help much as I haven’t experienced any crashes myself.

Does your game crash straight to the desktop, or does it show you a particular error message?

Only other thing that might be useful is your game’s log file (C:/Users/(your user name)/Games/Age of Mythology Retold/temp/Logs/MythLog.txt). That could contain more information about what is happening.

Hi, I’m having the same crash as @ShyGuyLink is having. But so far it only happened in misson 2. I played with my wife missons 1, 3, 4 and 5 from Fall of Atlantis with no issues.

The crash sends me straight to desktop and a bugsplat window appears after the crash, but I can’t upload files here on the forum since I’m a new user.

So I uploaded them on Google Drive here. Hope that helps!
