Frequent CTD's with 1.2 patch

[Rhoades-Brown]

Hi, this is my first post on this forum.

I absolutely love Rome: Total War and have been playing it for months- It seems stable and runs well on my machine.

I thought I would give Medieval II a whirl, and my experiences are very different.

When I first had it, I patched it to 1.1 and found the game crashes frequently during battles. It annoyed me so much that I decided to wait for the 1.2 patch, which was supposed to be released a few weeks from then.

I installed MediII on my PC, as I formated in between time, patched it and tried again. Still it does the same thing- after a few battles, the game suffers from sporadic slowdowns during the battles and and eventually crashes to the desktop.

I am running a reasonably spec'd machine: Core 2 Duo, P965 motherboard, 1Gb RAM, Vista x64, GeForce 7?00.

Is this another example of VISTA being a pain, I am thinking of chucking XP-SP2 on alongside for games- no hardware directsound is annoying.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be apprciated!

Welcome to the club.

You're not the only one with problems during battles. There is already another thread for this on the forums: Unfortunately, there seems to be no clear solution.
