I start launcher,I select campaign,I click onCS or US,the game starts but game closes immediately.So I have to launch it manually but I don't want to launch it manually.I saw a post about limited token and this may be because of "limited token" As you see,it's written in log file "Has limited token? True".I also tried this with steam but it didn't work.Please help me.

i heard if you have other mods install it wont work and if you have limited memory space it also wont work other than this i dunno what the problem might be you could try to reinstall it again....

I tried reinstalling several times but I don't know whether it's because of lack of memory or not.

[airborne guy]

Happens to me as well


EDIT, Patch installed and crash, no ctd before. Removed patch and all is good again

[Caecalius]

I just loaded the mod for the first time last night. I had the same problem. Crashed while loading. I will try w/o the patch.

No luck. I can't get the game to load. Just keeps CTD. I was able to get DMUC to load just fine. Perhaps I need to reinstal Empire. Ugh. It takes forever with my connection to get Steam to upload all the patches.

EDIT: posts merged; MM

Hello,

Today I downloaded of what I thought was 'The blue and the grey' but it was Brothers vs. Brothers. It was version, 3.4 I believe. Now, what I was told by my friend that Brothers vs. Brothers was of lesser quality, now I could be wrong. But yesterday I downloaded version 2.6 of 'The Blue and The Grey'. But when I was about to start the download, i.e. clicking next to actually starting the download, I was greeted by the an error message saying that a problem has occurred and it must shut down. It happens every time. When I let the error complete, the message that I get is runtime error. Am I doing something wrong? or can someone link me a site that I might get the right download?

[Minas Moth]

2.6 is no longer supported... I don't even know if we have any "working" download links left... the 3.4 being inferior to 2.6 is ofc subjective opinion. many people liked 2.6 over 3.4 but many like 3.4 better. so you just have to try it out and see it for yourself. main difference is that 2.6 was pretty much a "finished" product with small upgrade capability. so we had to make 3.0 from scratch (a work that took over a year to complete) to avoid bugs and other mishaps... the gameplay and immersion will get polished, important is the fact that we have a stable and easily modified base version.

[vonpopov]

i give up to.

It doesn't crash, but i have no ETC unit ..... the game just looks like a bastard between the real game and the mod, still don't crash, but didn't work.

[Menelaos]

Is it viable for this mod? Sorry to start a pointless topic but I'm trying to get it working.

[dgard20]

All my generals have dissappeared or gone awol. It seems they are gone. Any ideas what happened. No they were not all killed

hm, that's weird... some scripting issue I would say. if they have disappeared during the campaign you are playing. any submods or something like that used?

[[NC]Master]

maybe you could give us some more infos so we can find the problem

When did it happen after loading save?
did you changed something at the pack files?
Which version of the mod are you running?
and are you beware that saves from older versions are not compatible?
please try to be more clearly about your problems than i am sure i can help you with

I am running 3.4.1
Should I have a ACW folder within my ACW folder ?

[Minas Moth]

I am running 3.4.1

no, you should have following things there (in the same order):

ACW folder

Backup (folder) data (folder) Packs (folder) Scripts (folder) SubMods (folder > if using new launcher) acw_log (txt document) ACW3.cdd (cdd file) ACW3 (program) acw3 (icon) lua5.1.dll (program extension) lua51.dll (program extension)

so I would suggest un-installing the ACW and deleting the ACW folder in your SteamApps/common/empire total war folder.

[dgard20]

I have done that and checked your folder verse mine. It matches now. Thanks. Now I am going to try your ZOR

[Leonidas]

I'm running roughly 50% of the time when I fight a battle towards the end of the battle the game will freeze and crash. I turned the sky setting to low as someone suggested in another thread and it does not appear to be helping. I am running the 3.4.1 after I hope it was copied over the 3.4 files. As you can imagine this is a bit frustrating so any help is appreciated.

did you try memory fix like explained here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=238484 ?
I have also the same problems like you..towards the end of the battle my game CTD, altough I did memory fix..this happens only with ACW battles..when I played vanilla or darth mod for example those crashes occured very rarely, but in ACW almost every third battle crashes almost at the end of battles, and two times it crashed during the end of AI campaign turn..

When I play vanilla I don't have this problem to answer your question and no I did not use the memory fix in that link.

My system is:



Intel Core i7 2600K(3.40GHz)
8GB DDR3 2TB HDD Capacity
AMD Radeon 6800 HD
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit


So it should be able to chomp through this game just fine on maxed settings.

Just to explain something... it is not important what hardware you are using. more important is how the hardware you have interacts and works with each other (with some games). it is not the same for all the games. I would suggest lowering your settings. for example:

ultra unit details means nothing (it will only make your units appear as complex models further than on high unit details) it just chomps up your specs.
don't use vertical synch and other mumbo-jumbo. again, it only draws your resources from what is important.
also, always have the latest drivers...

[Minas Moth]

however, I will regularly merge other threads with technical questions and answers that don't fall in any of the categories in the sticky section. This will with time become quite hectic but then I will edit it for easier use...
