Thanks for uploading the saved game. I could not find any Pompey Assassination end of turn CTD issues, and I could not find the issue concerning Vorenus that you described. I garrisoned Vorenus, and then un-garrisoned him over a period of turns, and he never cloned or died as you described.

Concerning Julius Caesar being in a ship at end of turn causing a CTD that is in fact a problem. Thanks for bringing it to my attention as I did not realize that would happen. The cause of this problem has to do with the piece of script that automatically retrains his army at the end of turn. I'll try to find a way to modify that piece of script to prevent this CTD. If I can not find a modification to the script that will fix this CTD I'll probably have to just remove this piece of script altogether.

Thank you so much! I tested out the Vorenus problem again, and everything worked out. Whatever it was, I guess it was solved on it's own. A quick question pertaining to the game: After Pompey's death in Egypt, in Caesar supposed to follow him there\fight Ptolmey like he did in history? Or is it simply up to the player and not scripted? I didn't know one way or another, but I didn't want to backstab an ally if I wasn't supposed to do that.

No you don't have to chase him. It is completely up to the player to decide how to proceed.

Did Caesar and Mark Antony survive the first battle?

If they survived and you are still having this problem then I'm unsure of what is causing the problem. Save the game and upload the saved game file so I can troubleshoot it please.

This problem has been resolved in Version 1.6 (released today) via altering the script. Caesar still auto retrains his troops in the field, but this no longer causes a CTD while he is at sea.

I downloaded the latest 1.6 version and installed it to my RS 2 directory, but there seems to be something wrong since I don't get any Play_Demise_of_the_Republic folder nor any option to make it start in the launcher.

Try installing again, and be sure to follow the steps listed in the first post of this thread for detailed instructions. Let me know if that does not work. If it does not work for you after that then we will troubleshoot it.

**Spartan 666** · November 04, 2011, 12:58 PM

Tried again, any time I try to install it it creates a "data" and a "preferences" folder and the uninstaller, it doesn't create "play_dotr" or changes options in the launcher.

Bah! I somehow incorrectly packaged the installer.

I'll fix it and repackage it ASAP.

**Antiokhos Euergetes** · November 05, 2011, 03:01 PM

Did you ? Is it ok to download now?

**CPT Worsham** · November 05, 2011, 07:40 PM

I'm sorry it's not ready yet. I'm having trouble with the installer program. I'll post here as soon as it is good to go.

**Antiokhos Euergetes** · November 06, 2011, 09:25 AM

Thanks allot, love this idea

**CPT Worsham** · November 06, 2011, 12:31 PM

The version 1.6 installer has been fixed and uploaded. The updated links are in the first post of this thread.

**Antiokhos Euergetes** · November 06, 2011, 01:46 PM

Excellent- downloading now.
Is auto-save disabled ? I had a CTD after a battle with Gallic rebels and when I went to reload ....nothing. Yes that's right I forgot to save
Also a quick question...if I may? I considered making a little mini mod for myself- if I removed survivor script would the generals die with repercussions? And carry on with out them?

Auto-save is disabled. If you remove the survivor script nothing will happen if the generals that are supposed to survive happen to die. The game simply won't be following the accurate historical trail.

Thanks just wanted to use the Roman positions on map etc for a base. (for personal use only)
I am of course still going to play your mod- its alot of good work and fun.
keep up great work

EDIT:
If I can just make a small observation, population growth and income seem far too high, other than that I am having a very entertaining campaign
Perhaps the Boii and Cimbri could be renamed...perhaps Suevi and Marcomanni/Quadi something like that?
They wouldn't be quite right ofcourse, but perhaps that could come later

**killerrj8** · November 12, 2011, 08:51 AM

Nice campaign or submod i guess. But I have a problem.
I don't know whats wrong because I have the option to choose the "Demise of Republic" campaign and everything works... untill I want to scroll up to Alesia. When I go there with my mouse it says "Rome: Total War doesn't work anymore and needs to close" and its searching for a solution( which never works on windows 7)
Anyway do you know how to fix this ?

**CPT Worsham** · November 12, 2011, 03:31 PM

The problem you are describing sounds like an error in descr_regions.txt. Have you done any modding to the files? If not upload your saved game from the turn you get the CTD at, and I'll have a look at it to see if I can identify the problem.

**killerrj8** · November 12, 2011, 04:02 PM

Hmm no , I didn't mod anything and i get the error at the very first turn. I never saved it ... cause i really cant play longer than 20 seconds. But I will do it
