ok here goes, i installed rtw 1.0 and patched upto 1.5, i then installed the rtwpe 1.9 and started playing the Roman Faction. Since i have been playing total realism this CTD has happened only when i play the Romans, anyway i digress...im at year 233, have taken out all the Gaul and now starting on the macedonian faction when i get the CTD with a little note saying 'Rome Total War has stopped working, windows will close the program and look for solutions to why the game has stopped' this is very frustrating as im an avid fan of the total war series and have been playing for years. Im running Vista on my pc at present, ive tried all the things that can help, like downloading new drivers for sound and graphics card and windows codec stuff, ive tried the revolt hotfix as well, nothing seems to work, can anyone help??
