Thread: CTD on Adoption

  1. #1

    Default CTD on Adoption

    After about turn 11 as Rohan, anytime I accept an offered adoption I get a CTD. Haven't modified anything. Thoughts?

    Edit: I've experimented some, and it doesn't matter what the adoptee's age is, etc. As soon as I hit "accept" it CTD. If I decline it continues on fine.

    May you please provide your system.log.txt?

    Where do i find that so i can give it to you?
    --edit--
    hmm i think i found it under
    C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\logs would be the correct one yes?
    this actually looks a little small. is it rewritten each time the game it started? if so i will have to try to force the bug to happen again.

    Eaxctly!
    And before you do so, please open your TATW.cfg and make sure that the log section looks like this:
    TATW.cfg [log]
    to = logs/system.log.txt
    level = * trace
    ;level = * error

    Mine is slightly differnt

    [log]
    to = logs/system.log.txt
    ;level = * trace
    level = * error

    --edit--
    wow.. this isn't useful at all.

    20:01:17.852 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

    why cant it just tell me where the error occurred when i tried to adopt?
    also i tested a new campaign. yeah no errors on the fresh campaign. so it is isolated to this saved game.

    That's why I suggested to set it on trace

    allright so instead of
    [log]
    to = logs/system.log.txt
    ;level = * trace
    level = * error
    the ";" should be moved down one.
    alright i will do that and remake the error.

    --edit--

    ok.. now the log is completely stuffed to the brim with lines of data. How do you want me to put this up so you can see it?

    Compress it with whatever program you choose to use for compression and then attach it to a post of yours

    Hm, I checked the edct and the e_vnv for the corresponding traits and they look good.
    I actually find no reason why the game CTDs.
    Are you sure that this CTD is reproducible in a new campaign or is it only reproducible from a savegame of yours?
    If the former might be the case, I can't suggest nothing but a total reinstall, if the latter might be the case, then it's caused by a corrupted savegame.

    Yes i created a new campaign and adoption worked just fine. However with this saved game alone there are problems so the saved game must be corrupt on some level.
    alright thanks for the help and looking into the log.

    I also have a different quick question and this is about the family tree. there seems to be a cap to the number of family members that are allowed for each faction. where do i edit this and could you tell me what each line does?

    @CTD: thought so.
    @Family tree:
    Uhm, there is no limit that I know of besides that one character can only have 4 children and 1 wife

    It is. But there is no reason why children wouldn't show up.

    It's the hardcoded limit for # of children of a couple, yes.

    Alright so lets say i edited it under descr_campaign_db to lets say 7. the 4 children limit is reached and then i tried to adopt there would be a CTD?

    Either your game CTD's at startup, or it CTD's when you agree to the adoption, or nothing happens at all. Either way there is no way to circumvent the harcoded limit of 4 children per couple.
