No autosaves...?

God knows this isn't exactly perfect yet...but the ctd's are a pain...I just played 4 hours straight and gotten a huge empire, and then all of sudden crashed as i was executing the citizens of rome....
guess what...I didn't save....
Debating weather or not i should even bother with this anymore....
anyone know how to fix this bug?
seems to only happen when enemy reinforcements try to save their town but end up losing the battle and i continue after battle is over to mow down the remaining troops so that the city will be empty for me. And soon as i do exterminate it crashes....

in preference.txt change autosave: TRUE to FALSE also i change first timeplay: TRUE to FALSE lower settings like grass and 3D shades and so on.....

Btw 4hours and marching on rome? you dont play with houserules right?

hehe nah, i tried that as the romans already
I like to play by my own rules...get as many berserks as i can afford and a bunch of spear warband for target practice...
You can win a battle just by killing 25% of enemy troops and scare the other 75% away =D And lose less than 5% of own troops. Very effective way to spread empire with a limited budget. Fear is my weapon...muhahahaha
But anyways, thanx for the replys guys ^_^

There are some RTW vanilla Bugs in the game that No mod can remove. There is one where if the senate asks you to take a city as a mission and you do it can crash, doesnt do it all the time but it does happen. You should NEVER trust autosav as it overwrites itself and is also known to cause CTDs in some system that are not highend on ever third battle fought.

Basically You should ALWAYS manually Save your game, and I make 2 saves in order to have a backup.

Sorry you lost your game, I once forgot to save right away and lost my work up to the last save, from then on I save more regularly. lol
