The game crashed. When I went back my gold was -10000. Too bad I won't play State 2 because I'm not risking it happening again when I'm further in the map.

Really fun map! But, want to report a bug - the last wave, the runners from the north, aren't triggering for me. I got the notification about them on day 76 I think, saying that they'll come in 48h. Now it's day 82, and they're still not there.

What a map! First time I played it, I was constantly under pressure because of the constant waves. Then it got demystified as I kept retrying and getting used to the map. It does require a bit of forecasting I'd say. I kept on pushing the left side of the map but couldn't survive past a certain point. Then I tried expending through the right side instead and managed to complete it.

Also the giant as a clue in the middle was both fantastic and horrible. Wasn't expeting it :D.

I already played a few states before writing comment and I feel like this was the hardest map I played so far. Also probably the best one imo.

Hi @simontrolol. Unfortunately, I cannot fix this bug, it's at the devs to fix it: saving/reloading the map break some scripts. You will encounter throughout all the campaign and there is nothing I can do about it... I'm sorry for that inconvenience

Hi, I would like to report a bug: when I load the map to continue, the game is paused, that's normal but as soon as I remove the pause my gold goes to -10000 and because of that i lose all my troops and lose the game. I'm playing on novice difficulty with the political system activated
KarEssMoua  [author] 30 Oct, 2020 @ 9:08am 
@blyat man that's part of the bug. Unfortunately, I cannot fix this at my stage as it's in-game bug problem that devs have to fix. Please be sure you have enough time to play each at once because saving / reloading the map breaks some scripts...
Danger Pancake 30 Oct, 2020 @ 6:56am 
yes I did
KarEssMoua  [author] 30 Oct, 2020 @ 6:36am 
Hello blyat man.

I am aware of this bug and I'm trying to resolve it as soon as possible.

BTW, did you save and reload your game?
Danger Pancake 29 Oct, 2020 @ 7:45pm 
I am here to report the final wave seems bugged for me aswell, I am on novice and have all the towers still
KarEssMoua  [author] 1 Oct, 2020 @ 5:17am 
Ok, then did you save & reload the game before you reached the final wave?
amisianer 30 Sep, 2020 @ 9:30pm 
I played on easy and didn't lose or destroy any of the towers. I reloaded once or twice though. But still, you might want to change your final triggers, if they break that easily.
KarEssMoua  [author] 25 Sep, 2020 @ 6:06pm 
Hi amisianer. Thank you for your report.

Could you tell me at which difficulty did you play and if you destroy any towers set?

If it is the case, the final wave doesn't spawn as it said at the beginning at the map to not destroy the towers you have to repair.

Looking for your reply,

Karessmoua
amisianer 25 Sep, 2020 @ 4:54pm 
Looks like the last wave is broken for me too. :/
KarEssMoua  [author] 6 Aug, 2020 @ 7:24am 
Sure! Let me know if it solves the problem. Otherwise check your game files with steam, and if the bug still happens I will take a depper look in the scripts!

Thanks!
Aragorn 6 Aug, 2020 @ 6:45am 
nope new game but probably the maps have not installed properly i take script errors, now ı will try the unsub/sub all maps
KarEssMoua  [author] 6 Aug, 2020 @ 6:38am 
So I tried to see if I have the same bug, but my game is ok. If you are using modded mayors, it may corrupt the map scripts. If you save/reload, unfortunately it can trigger this. But as far as I tried, the map works fine for me. Maybe unsub/sub again the map it could resolve the problem.
KarEssMoua  [author] 6 Aug, 2020 @ 6:33am 
Did you save and reload the map ?
Aragorn 6 Aug, 2020 @ 6:21am 
all difficulty levels and political system have change nothing
KarEssMoua  [author] 6 Aug, 2020 @ 6:13am 
Hi Aragorn

It looks like a terrible bug. Could you please tell me at which level of difficulty did you play and if you activated the political system?
KarEssMoua  [author] 17 Jul, 2020 @ 12:07pm 
Hi Tempus and thank you for your comment, it's really appreciated. About the script bugs triggered by the save/reload, it's a bug that has been notified to the devs since almost a year. I'm sorry for that. I do hope this bug will be fixed soon and won't bother you too much to enjoy the campaign!
Tempus 17 Jul, 2020 @ 9:40am 
FYI, I also had a game that never completed. For those players where the scripts get shot to hell due to saving, I wonder if you could add in a "trigger end game" function that kicks off the final script so we can get the end flavor text and final battle? Thanks, 1 and 2 have been great maps!
KarEssMoua  [author] 10 May, 2020 @ 11:31pm 
@AuraFighter

I may understand you can have troubles to win the map. In an explanation video, I warned players that The Following will be a tough campaign that will test your determination.

But I'm glad you keep trying and you finally got it! You might feel really good after this tough challenge. GG!

I hope you will enjoy the rest of the campaign!

This map personally was easier (and funner) than the last one all the up until the final wave. The second of half it got it and you know the rest. The giants were just too much for me, if there was decent farming spots on the map I might have had a chance. Playing on medium. I will continue playing but will probably end on skipping the end of this map. Edit after another to dozen tries finally got it
KarEssMoua  [author] 25 Feb, 2020 @ 1:49pm 
@martin_renneke, unfortunately, the game can break scripts after saving/reloading the map. It's an ingame bug I cannot resolve :(
martin_renneke 25 Feb, 2020 @ 10:10am 
Yes. I think so, but I think not after the 48 hour message, but not 100% sure on that.
KarEssMoua  [author] 21 Feb, 2020 @ 10:13am 
Hi martin_renneke. Did you save and reload your run?
martin_renneke 21 Feb, 2020 @ 9:21am 
No attack arrived from the north
martin_renneke 21 Feb, 2020 @ 9:21am 
All Towers displayed are repaired. I got a message within 48 hour a hard attack will arrive from the north. that's it. nothing more. The games never ends ...
KarEssMoua  [author] 21 Feb, 2020 @ 7:36am 
Hi! No has mention in the tips, the goal is to repair all the towers displayed on the minimap WITHOUT destroying it
圣耀 21 Feb, 2020 @ 5:53am 
I play until 101 day clear the map still not end. And the button did not mention what is the mission
圣耀 21 Feb, 2020 @ 5:36am 
what is the main goal? Live till 100 day?
KarEssMoua  [author] 10 Feb, 2020 @ 1:47am 
Hi everyone! For those who want to play again the map without crash, you can! The map has been updated with a new simple script that should not trigger game crash anymore.

Also, State 3 - Bridges to Hell is now out! => https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1993548011

GL & HF!

Kind regards,
KarEssMoua.
KarEssMoua  [author] 8 Feb, 2020 @ 2:39am 
Hi @zombiezocker yes you can. I'm removing the wood consumption calculation and make an easy script to trigger for the game. That means you will be able to play without crash (I hope)
Neo 7 Feb, 2020 @ 10:44pm 
is it ok to play stage 3 when i didn't complete stage 2 because its been crashing so i coundn't play it propely?
KarEssMoua  [author] 7 Feb, 2020 @ 3:46am 
@tw-runrun thank you very much for your support! 😊
tw-runrun 5 Feb, 2020 @ 5:24am 
u dont need to say sorry
many things can cause crash
its good map keep working on series thanks
KarEssMoua  [author] 5 Feb, 2020 @ 2:49am 
Anyway, due to the insane amount of crashs, I think it's related to the wood consumption and I will remove it soon.
KarEssMoua  [author] 5 Feb, 2020 @ 2:47am 
@tw-runrun, if you have to play the map in one shot. Unfortunately, and as you can see below, playing the map after a reloading break the scripts, and the map. I do apologize if the crash happens at day 80, but no special scripts have been added at this timer. So that's the game itself who triggered this crash :/
tw-runrun 5 Feb, 2020 @ 2:37am 
the first crash is 80 the latest one is 28
KarEssMoua  [author] 5 Feb, 2020 @ 2:16am 
Hi @圣耀

Thank you for your feedback. The map needs to be play in one shot. Saving and reloading the same game file broke the scripts. Of course it's not intended, but this bug has already been reported to Numantian months ago and nothing has been done yet.

I'm sorry for that.
圣耀 5 Feb, 2020 @ 1:25am 
the crash did not happen before 10 but crash when i save and load
KarEssMoua  [author] 5 Feb, 2020 @ 1:03am 
Unfortunately, game can randomly (and more often) depending of your setup. I did have some random crashs with I7 and nvidia setup, but nothing related to scripts in the map as I could finish every map I have created. So it's about the game itself (and job devs...)

When did your crash happen ?
tw-runrun 5 Feb, 2020 @ 12:57am 
i have no mod
the crash did not happen before 10
but since i crash then every game will crash in the end
this is too sad
KarEssMoua  [author] 5 Feb, 2020 @ 12:34am 
Hi @tw-runrun. The update concerns a condition that wasn't correctly write and the wood consumption only. None of my testers and I had troubles when opening the political system or after day 10...

Did you download and use any mods for the game? If yes, did you uninstall and install the game again? (Mod can corrupt some files)

Does the crash happen before day 10?
tw-runrun 4 Feb, 2020 @ 5:41pm 
this map now always crash for me sad....
even i do not open the political system still crash
KarEssMoua  [author] 1 Feb, 2020 @ 8:36am 
Hi @Zombiezocker

I am currently working on State 3. The lay out is finished and the map is currently on balancing phase.

State 3 might be released at the end of the next week :)
Neo 1 Feb, 2020 @ 7:26am 
when does state 3 come out?
JJGames 30 Jan, 2020 @ 2:20am 
@tw-runrun

the map has no time limit, final wave triggers when you repair the last executor.
JJGames 30 Jan, 2020 @ 2:18am 
ok, for me at least it seem that somehow the map (-scripts) get corrupted on map load.

What fixed it for me was a complete uninstall/reinstall of TAB (just as a precaution) and starting a NEW game. Loading an an old savegame (made at day09:12h for testing) still crashes so the problem is within the save.

Had a few new games since an no day10 crash.
