towers cause ctd

**DrwHem** · September 16, 2008, 08:23 AM

for some reason whenever i try to build a watchtower my game instantly crashes but the damn music and other sounds still play in the background.

Can you provide more detail? faction, era, etc..

Its Byzantium in the late era i think...the campaign started in 1210 or so. Its completely random too. Some turns i am allowed to build towers but other turns i cant.

I have noticed a similar problem, though for me it seems localized to the province of Thrake. I started a Dark Age game as Byzatium, and every time I try to build a watchtower in Thrake, the game crashes as I click the button to construct field works. Also, in a recent game in the High Period, playing as the Latins, when I try to build towers in Thrake, the same thing happens. So far that is the only time I experience this problem. As the Anglo-Saxons, Scots, and Catalans I have had no problems with towers, and as the Latins and Byzantines, only when I build towers in Thrake.

Thrake is that a province N of Konstantinople ?

Yes, it is the next-to Constantinople region in Greece.

I think it is a buggy province but the team mentioned something in the bug about it .

SV mentioned, that he'll try to reproduce it, and as he did, he couldn't find something, as yet.

I don't think the province is buggy. The described occurence is very strange, perhaps a certain era specific code or setting or a thing on the players side. If it would be a common map bug, there would be more reports about it, and it would have been mentioned far earlier, already during our early betatesting phases, i assume at least.

I have these two relating ctds, the only ones I have experienced in this mod, will post more if I find them.

Morava, Darkage: Vratislava crashes when trying to enter tower/fort build mode.

Magyar Törzsek, Darkage: Constantinople crashes when trying to enter tower/fort build mode.

Forgot to mention: These are repeatable crashes.

I was able to build four watchtowers in Thrake, with no problems. Do you know what tile you were trying to build then on?
