Also I'm using the Medieval II Mod Installer and I'm using the Steam version.

Hi there and welcome to TWC Forums!

Use these steps to install TATW 3.2 ( TATW 3.0 both parts + TATW 3.2 Patch) : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post13744280

Does anyone have an idea of how to prevent the game from crashing when using Sauron, Balrog, or Ent units? My game works great otherwise and no porblems anywhere else that I have found. In custom battle the game only crashes when attempting to use these three units. I have tuned off daylight savings time, UAC, and even tried deleting some of the files mentioned. I am currently using 3.0 version. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue???

Install TATW 3.2 Patch and try again.

Ok I am on my first campaign and thing went fine until no. I run as administrator did the delete all map.rwm files before I started and the advisor is off. Now when I fight in Mordor for the first time I get M2tw has an unexpected error crash. Apparently something about Mordor my PC doesn't like. Editing to add, there is one unit of trolls int eh main army and a second 1 unit stack of reinforcements if it amtters.


And it is the steam version, vanilla version windows 7 and I installed the mod and 3.2 patch from instructions in the other thread.


Editing to add, I disabled Daylight savings time and tried the battle again. Instead of crashing it locked up and I had to ctl,alt del to get out of the game.

There is a Reinforcement bug in TATW 3.2 version, the fix for it is here (also, another bugfix is present there too, Mumakil Training Ground fix) : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ntial-bugfixes

Ok I replaced the file deleted the map rw file started a new campaign and then loaded my save game. My game locked up again. Will I be able to continue my current campaign? Thanks.

[ElvenKind]

It is not savegame compatible, sorry. You must start a new campaign.

[regnak999]

Hmm, can I still continue my old campaign and auto resolve battles where there are reinforcements? I don't know if I will but I hate to start over now.

[ElvenKind]

Yes, you should be able to continue your old savegame. Just avoid battles where there are reinforcements on either side of the battle, or autoresolve.

[regnak999]

Ok thanks.

Hello. I'm here to report 2 issues and ask for any suggestions or ideas if anyone has any. The first issue I already asked for help for and I'm here returning with the results. For some reason when I load bridge battles the game loads the battle in a glitched way. Both armies are stuck and can't move. the battle map looks the same everytime it loads with this glitch. 2 large hills are on either side of the bridge and both armies are stuck on either side on these hills. I was told to update to the latest version of MOS and I did that but it didn't solve the problem. I will say that not every bridge does this. I am unsure as to why and would appreciate any attempt at help. I've attached 2 save files that have the bridge battle about to begin. One where it works properly and one where it doesn't.

The second issue I have is that Bazra-dum doesn't upgrade past town level. This isn't just if you're playing as the dwarves either. I loaded a game as the elves and went and captured Bazra-dum and it still won't upgrade. When you look at the building browser you don't even see an option to view the possible upgraded walls. I've loaded 2 saves for the Bazra-dum issue as well.

Any help or insight would be appreciated and as always thanks for all the hard work you all do for this amazing mod. (as said in the title I posted this as a new post and as a response in one of the sticky threads cuz I didn't know which was being monitored since this is such an old mod.)

PS. I am having trouble uploading the saves. Whether they're zipped or not the upload keeps failing and i have no idea why. So if anyone is willing to look at this please just let me know and i will email them to you. Thanks

Best mod ive played, but here is my problem. On turn 231 after i end turn and Gondor does its thing; the game freezes. The freeze appears during a Gondor unit defending (prior to sword clash) Minas Tirath. I'm forced to 'force quit'. I run windows 7, have turned off UAC, I run as admin, I deleted map.rwm. I run 3.2 and patched it. Also, the game is installed in 'Program files (x86)' if that makes a difference. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

Hi there

Best thing to do when you have a submod installed, is to ask in that submod`s thread, in this case, MOS`s thread. Upload your savegame there as well.

Hi guys,
After 270+ turns my saved game keeps giving me the "medieval total war found a critical error..." message and freezes my game,it doesnt go back to windows,i have to use task manager to shut medieval down.This is not my first error i had plenty of issues in misty mountains,but since im holding the black gate its been 1 issue after another.Ive been able to find a way out of most "crash" situations with loading a previous save/autoresolve or withdraw.But now ive come to a situation where i really dont know what else to do.
Basicly my saved game is ataking "henneth annun" at the de deployment stage and no matter what i do the game crashes.If i use "fight battle at map" i can play that fight but right after battlereport and pressing "ok" the game crashes.If i use autoresolve or withdraw from battle the game crashes instantly.While when i use auto-resolve i get the battlereport and only after that when i press ok the game crashes.
Here is what ive done so far with no sucess.
-turned off auto-save.(thought that after the battle the system tries to auto-save and thats cauzing the issue.I have been using auto save since start with no issue tho.
-deleted .rwm files
-reinstalled TAWT 3.2
-Started a new campaign with another faction and then loaded my saved game.
-Starting the game as administrator.
-Turned off the automatic time adjust on windows.
-disabled cache file

additional information:
Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
8gb ram
i5 processor
512 ram grafic card.(my hd7890 cooked herself a week ago)

This is the first time im using a mod and i love the concept and all the work the devs put into this,but im really getting frustrated since im struggeling alot with these "medieval total war found a critical error...".
I could upload the saved game and if someone is willing to try it out it would be awesome.

ps:please help me i dont want my 270+ Turns campaign to end like this

If this is a campaign in Third Age 3.2, and not a submod for TATW 3.2, then upload your savegame so I can try it.

I`ve tried your savegame, and I had the same issues as you did, no matter what I`ve tried, it just CTDs. Even withdrawing from battle causes CTD.

I could suggest to try with deleting two descr_geography_new files in your: M2TW/mods/Third_Age_3/data folder.
