Hi,
I'm playing as Polands, SS 6.0 with Chimaeira's animation & flag bearer mod. Turn 121 and while ending turn ,whenever the game load to Fatimid, it crashs. I'm having the most fun campaign of all ( that's why i didn't install v 6.1) .
I tried to restart and load it again but the game still crashed.

Here's what the log says:

08:30:34.656 [system.rpt] [always] CPU: SSE

I think the log doesn't help much but if you had encountered the same problem, please help.

Your log says completly nothing, post the savegame maybe

**Gorrrrrn** · May 16, 2008, 04:51 AM

Might also help if you install 6.1 as it does solve some traits bugs and other issues.

No guarantee it would solve your problem though.

**Vagabond** · May 16, 2008, 08:44 AM

My game is really a mess, alot of mods, fix, etc .. so i don't even know where to start with. Anyway , thanks men

@ Gracul : what software you use to look in a savegame ?

**gracul** · May 16, 2008, 09:01 AM

After you post the save, people can download it and check if they have the same problem (because it might be some core-based problem). If no, then its something with your files (edited or too many mods messed all up), or it can be something with your graphics drivers, or software installed on the computer.

**Vagabond** · May 16, 2008, 09:25 AM

Hm, i just waste like half an hour looking for smth can open a sav

.

The savegame is too big so i have to upload it through rapidshare, here's the link :

Thanks gracul

**gracul** · May 16, 2008, 01:18 PM

I'll check it soon.

**Vagabond** · May 17, 2008, 12:44 AM

If anyone tried the autosave.sav ,it'll never work because it's an error file. Here's the right one . Thanks again gracul

**gracul** · May 17, 2008, 05:07 PM

Ok, i borrowed my bros laptop so i could run the game and i can't really help.
The log is fine except ofcourse unknown error at the bottom... couldn't find anything that would make that ctd

Sorry, but i don't really know what to do now...

**Vagabond** · May 17, 2008, 06:18 PM

Thanks alot man, that means alot to me though

A lot of end turn crashes have been solved in 6.1. I can only suggest you install it.
You will have to start a new campaign though.

**Vagabond** · May 18, 2008, 05:32 AM

I started a new campaign with the Byz already.
Thank you

**Mithrur** · May 20, 2008, 12:11 PM

sadly i have still the same end turn crash. looks like there are still some out there

**Petykemano** · May 21, 2008, 03:53 PM

I'm experiencing the same problem

Every time I start a new campaign (with Venice) at the first battle the game crashes to desktop. Sometimes it crashes right after the loading of the battle is complete, sometimes I can see the battle screen and it crashes when I start to scroll the screen.

I tried to reinstall SS several times. I installed both part, and both part twice. Then I patched with SS 6.1. I tried it with RC+RR, BYGIII and arrow thing, and tried patching it without them.
I tried with kingdoms patch 1.05 and without it.

I only did not try to reinstall the vanilla Medieval 2.
Maybe I should...
However this was a new clean install. No other mod or anything.

I tried to play a quick battle. The game did not crash when I played with Cuman, I guess. So I could play a quick battle.

Last time I tried to play a Custom battle with Venice against Teutonic order. The game crashed again.

This is what the crash log says:

Reinstall Novgorod rooster, or the whole 6.1 patch if you don't want novgorod rooster.

I'm yet another who has had persistent problems with CTD showing similar symptoms.

This example is turn 7 or so playing Poland on Early Campaign. The CTD first occurred during a QuickSave - the QuickSave file now just immediately CTDs on load.

So far, I've been stubborn in trying to use SS6.1 plus RR, BYGIII, and SSTC. I've tried reinstalling SS6.1 several times now with different steps. The latest loading process below was suggested by BYG a couple days ago, but still doesn't seem to resolve my issue.

SS6.0
SS6.1 Patch + BYGIII + RR
0.export_descr_character_traits.txt
1.Stainless_Steel_Total_Com0.exe
2.SSTC_Patch_1.2.exe
3.SSTC_Hotfix.exe
4.RR and SSTC for SS6.1.zip
5.EDU_forBGR_RR_SSTC_18thMay08.zip

I haven't yet tried reinstalling vanilla Medieval 2. I didn't have any issues with SS5.0, so I'm hoping it's some type of mod interaction that's causing the problems. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and choose which mods I don't want to use... a shame since these are all great additions to the game

Tried with vanilla 6.1, same problem

**Yoda Twin** · May 30, 2008, 04:54 AM

Happen with me aswell when i click end turn. It gets about halfway through the factions then does this.

**Petykemano** · June 10, 2008, 04:20 AM

I reinstalled everything beginning from M2tw again
No change

In the first battle of the campaign the game crashes to Desktop due to unspecified error.

The same thing happens when I try to play a custom battle on a map which says "no user-defined settlement is allowed"
The rest, where I can define settlement, change season and weather works perfectly fine.

Does this bring anybody any closer to a resolution?
