    Default Total War Gold Edition problems

    Hello everybody,

    help!

    i love the chivalry mod but i got real problems playing it.

    I have the Gold Edition of total war rome. In the campaign mode Chivalry crashes at least every second battle and i land on the windows xp desktop...

    Do you have the same experiences? i'm very surprised that it is running in such a instable way because everyone is talking about how stable it is...

    I wish you can give me some hints.

    Thanx!

    Welcome. If proper installed ( v0.95 plus the available hotfix(es) ), then it is stable.

    Check this stickied thread http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=64786 there is everything explained.

    And make sure your RTW version is proper patched, as it is known that some Gold versions aren't proper patched by default. To check it out, open Options in menu, and look for the RTW 1.5 or if BI 1.6 entry in the upper right corner of the screen.

    @ DaVinci:

    Thanx for your reply.

    I did the installation 100 % the way it is described. Hotfixes included.

    Still crashing...

    Always the same:

    1. at the beginning of a battle after i positioned the units and clicked "start the battle"

    or:

    2: After opening the gate during a siege...

    ...

    It is a pitty but it seems i can't play it...

    Ups, never heard about such indicators ... are you speaking there about the custom battle mode or campaign?
    And you know, that the installation of the hotfix files is another than the one with the full mod? Hotfix files go into the chivalry/data folder ... i say that because it nearly sounds like that you have messed up with some files ...

    The last thing you can do to verify the correct installation of the main mod is to provide here a screenshot of your ChivTW directory, therefore set your windows-view up, that the whole path is displayed in the adress-bar or in the blue frame, that we can see which path you use.

    Also, you can find a lot of screenshots, map-strategy mode or battle mode, do you have the same same ui design?
    And last, often one oversees something, just read everything of the mod info thread once more, that is related ot installation and game-start.

    ... ok:
    First i wonder that your Gold RTW comes with Activision and not with The Creative Assembly folder (i thought at least these versions come with the latter).
    Second i can't see anything wrong in this directory.
    Third, the only thing i can imagine, is, that you provided an extra installment (copy) of the Gold RTW in a new Activision folder?
    ... if so, i assume, that the Rome exe cannot work if it is built for The Creative Assembly directory (only an assumption, i don't know Gold or Era's pack installements, just only from what is known in the community)
    ... next, if this isn't the case, then i can only say that you must check the chiv-shortcut, that there is the correct path corresponding to the directory path that you have displayed here ... the path-editing is explained in the Chiv shortcut folder, or rough also in the main mod release/info topic.
    Other than that, i can't help you, sorry mate.

    Well, if your game starts, and you go as far as playing a battle, then the short cut should be fine, if it was messed up, you wouldn't be able to start the game at all.

    There are only two possibilities that come to my mind, as it seems that you have installed everything correctly. That is:
    1. you have installed another mod or something that interferes with the files...
    or
    2. its your computer... a malfunction of either your software or your hardware...

    do you have any problems playing vanilla RTW or using any other games/software?

    I faced some battle crashes, but after buying a new high performance pc, all battles work fine with me,and i knew from the first that it was my pc fault, so can Sashovic give us an idea about his pc components

    Hello all,

    thanx for your quick responds...

    @DaVinci:
    "First i wonder that your Gold RTW comes with Activision and not with The Creative Assembly folder" Absolutely right, but i renamed the folder because i thought this could be the problem (stupid idea of me).

    @Drak:
    I never tried another mod, because chivalry is the only option to me, because i like the scenario...

    @palatinae:
    Well it is an ibm laptop r50e... no probs playing TOTAL WAR ROME/ BI... never had a crash...

    So i guess it is just bad luck that chivalry crashes all the time...

    But thanx to all for ur hints.

    Here is a another tip that you could try ...

    Open the Chiv-shortcut, assuming you also use it, there is the following path-part (bold): (in front is my personal directory-path)

    "F:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:chivalry -movie_cam

    Now, simply delete -movie_cam

    Perhaps your machine has a problem with this additional exe-part, as you say the game crashes in certain in-battle situations, and this part is only there for the battle mode to go close to units/objects and to help making good sceenshots. Just a try, but have no idea if that can solve something for you.
