Yup still getting them - had to roll WAY back in the graphics drivers to get the game playable (see graphics crash thread) I can play about 1hr before a random crash so I save game a lot.
Nice thing is it just goes back to desktop so I can re-enter the game quite easily, just annoying esp after an 58min battle...boop...
Well this game has to be the worst ever game in history for bugs, glitches, and ctd's. It crashes most of the time in battle, not at the begiining but near the end or in the middle. It is for me a crappy cheap, overated unfinnished half bothch half patched togeather peace of crap. And i have a good gaming rig. And after CA released a Beta game (unfinnished), they have now made a new game napolean crap, turning their back on this crappy game. I dont care what any one says those who say they "never get (CTD) or in the minority on this forum, i have posted on Yuka., but my posts get deleted.

Well,
there are still people with crashes, often or sometimes ... because of mods or not and this is bad. Surely are in some special cases personal problems of the user the reason (I know 5 expamples out of my head), but this cases are rarely.
This guys who still have crashes are of course pi**ed off with ETW and CA ...
I personally have no problems in ETW, but my M2TW is a crash desaster since years and on several PC's. So believe me: I'm the same way pi**ed off by this game as guys here with ETW, no doubt!
I don't know why there are still people with crashes in ETW, but it is not good!

I've been playing Darths AMAZING DMUC5.3 - total transformation of the game, but I have to save about 2-3 times a turn.
So far since I rolled back to Nvidia 181.22 I've had no graphics issues I can think of.
Crashes I have had include :
* Total lock up of the game (naval battle): Sounds are running pointer moves and animates but it's like the game is paused, nothing else works.
* Blue screen
* Click,click,click - crash - seems to be when too many items are selected too rapidly.
* Simple 'blip' back to desktop (these seem to be the most common)
* Steam crashing, this was the last one I had 10mins ago - I was in the middle of a huge battle, just about to win and 'donk' CTD becuase of steam crashing ??? thanks.
I've reinstalled from the CD, verified etc. As I say I am only running Darthmod ultimate commander 5.3 (absolutly no other files).
What I will say is the game plays really nice, smooth. AI is a bit dim but not bad (more dim on campaign, blockading everything atm and the AI doesnt care about no cash !) but I can only get in an hour at a time, and considering some battles last 30mins or so it's a problem.
Big shame, I've even back off some of the overclocking to see if there is an issue - NO OTHER game does this.
Perhaps I'll try it without DM.
Playing with Darthmod 5.3D aswell. I get crashes when saving games. I can understand that those saves get corrupted. I dont understand that i cant load the autosave from turnstart. I did get some ATI notifications and i saw some graphics glitches. Damn shame since i got pretty far.
Just got one on my Prussian Campaign in 1749. It was the United States turn and I believe they were attacking the Iroquois and it CTDs on the same spot.
Its really rediculous because I was going for conqueroring every territory by 1799 on VH/N and I was actually doing very well. I had ALL of Europe, and had a few northern territories in India and all of the islands in the American theater.
I never had the CTD problems at release so this is very frustrating!
Game crahes regularely when trying to load battles involving a wooden fort. Makes it a little difficult to fortify your borders if you are expecting an attack. Itīs not "oh, I hope the fortress gets finished before the enemy attacks, so that I get a better defence", but "oh, I hope the fortress gets finished before the enemy attacks, so that I can play on"
