RTR PE 2.0 Crash & Bugs Report

[HarryUSAF]

So I'm at year 249, hit end turn, and all the factions go through their turns...Macedon attacks me, we fight, then it gets to the Gauls...They besiege one of my settlements and the game crashes...I get the error message from windows: Rome Total War Alexander has stopped working....

I already tried reinstalling RTR, now I'm going to reinstall RTW Alexander. Also I am using steam. Help? I don't know much about computers, so please put any answers in idiot speak.

* Edit title a bit. All bugs report for RTR Platinum v2.0 will be reported here. LestaT

Reinstalling Alexander didn't work.

[AngryTitusPullo]

Do you have any saves prior to the crash ? 249bc seems too soon and may be a fluke CTD. Most of the time you can continue from last save game. If you have earlier saves then maybe you can run that and see if it passed the date. Reinstalling wont help. All known CTD or issue has been corrected.

[HarryUSAF]

Unfortunately all my saves are really recent...So they don't work.

[HarryUSAF]

And what does CTD mean?

[AngryTitusPullo]

Crash to desktop.

Playing mod (any mods) you'll need to make saves a lot.

If you already manage to start the mod then that means you already install the mod correctly.

[HarryUSAF]

Well crap. I guess that means I lost my campaign progress then, huh.

[AngryTitusPullo]

You can try to upload you save game here. Sometimes it probably works on other pc.

I usually have at least 3 save games on every game/mod I play just to be safe. Every 5 game years should be enough in case you need to go back at some point.

[HarryUSAF]

How would I upload them? And how would that help? Just to see if it works on another pc?

[AngryTitusPullo]

When you select on reply there should be further additional option. You may need to zip the save game file though. Or you can upload to any free hosting site and give the link here. I may be able to look at it once I get home (now in the office) in maybe another 7-8 hours.

You also need to specify if you are playing 2tpy or with the 4tpy mod.

[HarryUSAF]

Not sure what you mean by 2tpy/4tpy but here you go:

http://www.filedropper.com/autosave

Let me know if that works. Thanks for offering to help.

[AngryTitusPullo]

2tpy = 2 turns per year as per normal.

4tpy = 4 turns per year mod as in this http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...9#post11934399

[HarryUSAF]

Two turns, I think. Any luck?

[AngryTitusPullo]

Not yet. You save game are usually when all characters/armies at the end of their movement point. It's best to save before any movement done as this kind of crashes are usually maybe because of broken traits and triggers (possible). I'm testing some ancillary corrections but still cannot pass the point.

i also find out -it hole bunch of mistakes in export_descr_character_traits
just first exemple i find out

;------------------------------------------
Trigger random_birth5
WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge


Affects Arse 2 Chance 1
Affects Disciplinarian 1 Chance 4
Affects Haemophobic 8 Chance 1

;------------------------------------------
Trait Haemophobic
Characters family
AntiTraits Bloodthirsty, Berserker

; Level Lily-Livered
; Description Lily-Livered_desc
; EffectsDescription Lily-Livered_effects_desc
; Threshold 2
;
; Effect TroopMorale -1
;
; Level Hates_Blood
; Description Hates_Blood_desc
; EffectsDescription Hates_Blood_effects_desc
; Threshold 4
;
; Effect TroopMorale -2
;
Level Terrified_by_Blood
Description Terrified_by_Blood_desc
EffectsDescription Terrified_by_Blood_effects_desc
Threshold 1

Effect TroopMorale -1
Effect Command -1

So you see originally it was 3 levels and 6-10 Thresholds ,and changes was to 1 level and 1Threshold and random_birth is one chance to CTD - Affects Haemophobic 8 Chance 1 , -8Threshold is incorrect...yep it small chance but it should be a lot mistakes like this with bigger chances...

though it works without any problems ... but I will look further

[AngryTitusPullo]

Can you try with this save game here see it it works ?

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...6#post11986016

I tried the ancillary file but still crashes.

If enough work is done I may release patch v2.1 hopefully. Just until Rome II is out. I'm also waiting for RTR VII is newest version is out then start porting that one to ALX.

**** I'm also looking for someone familiar with traits/triggers to help me with Roman leadership for 2ypt version. The triggers are actually build for 4tpy and is not correct.

[HarryUSAF]

Your link is to this thread, lol. Maybe I am playing 4 turn and didn't notice? I'll check again.

[AngryTitusPullo]

Link to your post actually.

[raubak]

i got bunch of ctd saves too ,but still can't find out what is a problem ...it crushes a lot on egypt turn and seems like it something with triggers...but after change the date from BC to 473 from Rome (AC) all crushes not critical so it can be played after reload...actually it can be somthing out of fixing ...it hard to find out

[Marku]

im getting a ctd now on my auto save file , made loads of progress but i cant get back into the game to save it (playing as armenia)
