The german knights change appearance while using this mod please help.

I took the time to use the ingame editor mod to test 20 civs for crossbow error...

Persia, Mongolia, and India will cause you to see the color glitch

Arabia's crossbows simply do not show up ---

However this add on does fix problems with units in the base mod

The entire screen gets either tan or purple with colored streaks

Dude fix the artifact and digital screen mush... a lot of us are having the issue. I have tested my graphics card and troubleshooted everything in my pc. Every graphically taxing game runs fine, even unmodded civ games work... it is only when i activate RED and particular units are in sight do i get this graphical glitch. We need solutions here

If you have a problem viewing persian crossbowmen, go to the hotfix mod folder (My documents/My games/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/MODS) and open the fix.sql file with notepad.
Notice the existing entries. After the last one, press enter once and then add
-- Persian Crossbowmen
Press enter once again and enter the following line:
UPDATE ArtDefine_UnitMemberInfos SET Model = 'Assets/Units/Crossbowman/Crossbowman.fxsxml' WHERE Type = 'ART_DEF_UNIT_MEMBER_CROSSBOWMAN_PERSIA';
As a result persian crossbowmen will appear like european crossbowmen.
It is not historically correct, but you will be able to play the game.
You can always pretend that the Persians hired mercenaries for this role!!

I still have problem with Persian crossbowman.
I use GTX780 + core i7 4770K

R.E.D is probably my favorite mod, but I am having trouble with crossbowmen as well. Mongolian for sure. Perhaps others. Screen went to a digital mush as soon as upgraded my first archer to crossbowman as Mongolia. Dual nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ for a total of 2G vid processing. Older cards but you would think two gigs of vid processing with dual GPUs would work fine.

I still have corrupt graphics with the Persian Crossbowman

it's have fixed my archer bug , but now i have a news graphic bug with unknow unit , i think i will uninstall RED at all

Machetkidd, the master mod must be enabled first for the dependent one to detect it. Try that. If you download both but have not enabled the RED modpack, it will not be seen by the HotFix.

So I also downloaded this "patch" to see if it would fix it, but it gets the "missing required dependencies" error even if the modpack does appear.

it still crushes on my PC ... it's a pity because i really like that mod

Maybe you should start a discusiion to narrow down the cause of the problem? My graphics card is an nvidia gtx 670, and I am yet to update the drivers. I also have all the dlc for Civ 5.

you are a minority needing it, maybe it's a driver problem or something else.

anyway your problem doesn't exist on my computer, so I can't "fix" it, only someone experimenting it can.

Will this ever be fixed so that we won't need to use this hotfix?

Playing as Japanese (w/crossbomen, but not necessarily on screen) and I get the same problems as lasttccasey. Makes the game almost unplayable, forced to exit and hope it doesnt come back for awhile. GTX680 so no underpowered.

I'm having problems with Persian crossbowman, the screen turns tan with random colored lines through it. Anyone else having this problem?

updated to v.3, French crossbowman replaced with vanilla skin.

+1 on the French Crossbowmen Problem. Looks like a giant blob of Artifact on screen whenever moved into it.

I am also having the problem with the french crossbowmen purple pink collor on the whole screen

Got the same problem with French Crossbowmen. But no game crashes, only a weird purple/pink color ont the whole screen until the emplacement of the crossbowmen is not anymore in sight. Kinky ! (I double post with my comment on RED MOdpack main page on Steam workshop)

yes, you'll have to go through the mod menu, never clicking "back", even to reload a game. And this fix is needed only if you have a few invisible units (listed in the description), most user doesn't need it.

Just this and the fix so far. It seems to be working however. I apologize this is the first time ive used steam workshop I I think I may not have understood how to use the mod (I would play one game through the mods tab at the main menue and when I went to check and see if it worked for other civs it would be through the regular main menue without going through the mods tab first and I think thats why it appeared it wouldnt work for some civs). If I understand correctly I need to run the game through the "mods" tab at the main menu every time I start up?

no, there is another problem here. which other mods are you using ?

Would downloading this help me with my issue? The new skins dont appear for a few entire factions in my game. IE: Carthage just uses vanilla textures and sizes. As do Persia, Greece, Byzantium and a few others.

Thanx for the report. Same as for the Mongol crossbowman, anyone else with that issue ?

after downloarding this I still have issues with babylonian crossbowmen

nop, this is not modified by the fix, but I'd like to know if anyone else have this problem.

Hello, I have just found out, that I can not see Mongol AI´s crossbowman. Shall I try this fix?

thanks for the report. And yes that's very strange, I would expect an unit to make the game crash or being invisible consistently, not one then another (the fix doesn't change the composite bowmen)

both France and England have the crash/invisible problem in your game ?

Strange, the hotfix prevents the game from crashing but the composite bowman don't appear graphically (I mean, the icon and the unit exists, but you can't see them). Better than crashing I guess.

There is a problem with the composite bowman in the R.E.D v. 18 mod for a European civ (at least, I think it is for all European. I tested it on France and England); whenever I train a composite bowman unit or upgrade an archer to a bowman, the game immediatly crashes. I will subscribe to this mod and see if the problem remains.

the great merchant are not modified by the R.E.D. mods, I'd say try the autosave :-)

Well it just updated and it fixed the issue. My game crashed as soon as I got a great merchant, though. Does this have to do anything with this mod or should I try to run the game again from an autosave?

Using v.17 or v.18 of R.E.D. Modpack ?

I'm subscribed to this and I still have a crash when upgrading to roman knights when they are not at full health. When they do upgrade, I can't see the unit
