CTD during the end of a turn, just as Parthia comes in next.

**Metallistic** · September 07, 2010, 07:22 PM

Well, I am playing a campaign as Macedon M/VH. All has gone well until this. I am using Windows 7 64-bit, default installation directory, using the Alexander engine. The date is 597A.U.C and just as I click the end turn icon everything progresses smoothly until the symbol of Parthia comes up and the game crashes. At this point I can't continue, literally. I have attached the save file, so if anyone is interested in testing out he is more than welcome to do so. I really want to continue this campaign, the mod is just awesome.

Game engine?

Alexander, as I have written in my first post.

Missed that in the text. Been reading and posting here too long.

I will have a look at it later on (it's 2:24AM now).

Ok, thank you for your time.

Yes, the game does CTD during the Pathia turn.

I will pass onto the devs to see if they can work out what is happening. Unfortunately, I think the campaign won't be able to be used again.

Hello again, Brusilov. It seems that I managed to fix the problem. I restarted my PC, loaded a save 10 minutes before the CTD, played one turn, saved the game with a different name and exited RS2. Then I restarted my PC yet again, loaded the new save, activating the script as always and Voilla! I have managed to go past 597A.U.C. In my latest save it is 599 and going strong, so I dare to say that it works for now.

I appreciate your desire to help me, though. Have some +rep.

**Metallistic** · September 08, 2010, 10:04 AM

Bump...

The problem appeared again, but this time it's Carthage.

The date is 601A.U.C

Here is the save file. Man this is getting really frustrating. I have tried the previous method, but nothing...

**Metallistic** · September 08, 2010, 01:52 PM

Well, at least I am not the only one.

**Hellhound1** · September 08, 2010, 01:54 PM

Can you turn FOW off (using the ` key, type in toggle_fow) and watch where the AI moves its troops please? :]

I did so and I think that I have found the problem.

Both Parthia and Carthage are besieging the capitals of their neighboring enemy. Developers?

Well, wit fog of war on or off, I still get a CTD.

**Hellhound1** · September 09, 2010, 04:01 PM

Metal, what are the names of the two cities?

Also, does it happen while the troops are entering the city, or while they're sieging the place?

Well, I have uploaded the save. If you want you can check it and see everything that interests you.

**Loiro** · September 10, 2010, 09:49 AM

Im having the same problem in my campaign... God, it's annoying! And I'm too dumb to figure out how turn FOW off. (Editing preferences doesnt do the job.)

If you need info from me, let me know and ill post whatever you need to know.

**Hellhound1** · September 10, 2010, 10:16 AM

I dont have alex xD
Its just that i've had the same issue with the RTW engine, and had to create a new game.

The only other thing i can see thats wrong, is that you have it installed to the default directory on Win7. I assume this is C:\Program Files:\Activision\Rome - Total War?

@Loiro, whats your OS and install path?

**Loiro** · September 10, 2010, 10:44 AM

Win 7, and custom path, I stayed clear of the program files

Edit: Something like c:Jon sin Mappe\Activision\RomeTotalWar

**Hellhound1** · September 10, 2010, 10:47 AM

Ok, to turn FOW off, press the ` key. Its below escape on your keyboard, and has the ¬ symbol on it.
the when the RTW Shell comes up, type in toggle_fow
This will let you see the whole map.

Watch which faction moves which troops where, and if you can, take a screenshot seconds before the units enter a city

**Loiro** · September 10, 2010, 11:52 AM

Thanks, I'll see what happens when I'm able. Tonight or something.

**Loiro** · September 10, 2010, 02:18 PM

I did as you said, didn't manage to take a screenshot tho. All I saw was the Ptolomies move about, they didn't siege anything. They just moved armies around their own lands, then I CTD'd. Dissappointing.

My specs:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

An I guess a savefile would be nice?
