Buggy cavalry

**humvee2800** · August 29, 2007, 06:06 PM

Every time I make a cavalry army Im noticing the game ctds with the message" medieval 2 total war encountered a unspecified error.

It does not do that when i have mercenarie horse archers but only when I have turkish horse archers.... -_-

help?

The error you speak of is an error associated with any of the patches. Simply it's a memory leak, however never seen it happen only when cavalry is built. Usually happens in battles never seen it on the campaign map. I assume you have installed one of the patches. Only thing you can do is totally uninstall the game remove any and all folders it leaves behind and then reinstall the game then the patch then re-boot, rebooting after installing the patch is so important on this one. Then give it a try and see if it holds. If the error happens again it's leaking again. Then all you can do is the above again. Sorry but is happening to many of us however like I said I never have seen this by building cavalry ... strange.
Good luck

Then maybe check over at the Road to Jerusalem mod thread to see if anyone else is having this crash. I'm fairly certain the problem doesn't exist with vanilla.

and yes, its possible you may HAVE to re-install.

now to make it more confusing i checked the units involved with the battle.

And tried them all in custom battle.. from both sides... no ctd.

So either it has to do with the campaign... the mercenaries i hired... or perhaps the amount of horse archers i had (one full stack of horse archers)

Hi, I've read somewhere before that when clicking on a unit card on the campaign map a sound problem occurs and you get a CTD. This was in another mod though(I think), so you could always check the RTJ forum and see if anyone else can give you any info. I'll do some more searching though and see what I can find

No the game ctds while downloading the battle map.

Ohh, sorry, I thought you meant the GC map. In that case there's a problem with the export_descr_units or the like. At this point theres nothing you can do but ask the creators of the mod to fix it.
