End Turn - GameCrash 263BC

[PriestLizard]

Hi there. I'm sorry for posting another CTD-thread but I cannot solve the problem on my own and I cant find any help via search function.

Like the title says, the problem is this: its 263BC, I click on "End Turn" and the game immediatly crashes to desktop. I have no idea what the problem could be. (-show_err doesnt show a message).

I thought it might be about some riot (as the icon always appears directly after you hit the "End Turn" button), but all my provinces have more than 100% public order.

Also there are no characters left which are "on the move" (the movements which appear at the end of your turn). I dont know what to do.

I'm using:
RTR Platinum
4R-a-year mod
I also added some few more names to the bactrian character list. (I know that names often cause problems when units leave a town etc. but that doesnt seem the case here)

I hope you guys can help me as I dont have any idea what I could do. Sadly, this is really spoiling my campaign. :[

Thanks in advance, see you later.

If you are using the latest PE version, please give a try to this hotfix:

And tell us how it goes

Oh, I forgot to say that I already have the Revolt Hotfix. It doesnt work - obviously.

The names should be the same in descr_names, descr_names_lookup and names file that can be found in text folder. In other case game will crash (showing no reports about CTD) when character with wrong name wil appear in the game. Names file (text folder) is binary file. It can be compared with text files by use of simple "examine changes" programms. You have to examine all new names "manually".
Besides, when you'll apply all necessary fixes you have to start new campaign.
Sometimes, it's enough to delete map.rwm, after that start new campaign, and load saved game. Then save your game 2-3 times.

Hmm ok, I think I will reinstall the whole game again, apply all patches....hopefully everything will work well then. I wonder if I will ever finish a campaign again -_-;;

Thanks for the help anyway

It does sound like a Revolt issue.. I had the same problem this morning. Got about 200 turns(!) in and suddenly whenever I ended the turn I got a CTD. Downloaded the hotfix, added the updated files and voila, problem instantly solved.

Are you positive that you're putting the hotfix files in the correct directory? I have PE installed over Barbarian Invasion. Within my 'Barbarian Invasion' folder, there is the vanilla BI 'Data' folder, as well as an 'RTRPE' folder, within which is the RTR Data folder to which you need to apply the changes. Make sure you're dropping the hotfix files into the RTR Data folder, not the vanilla one.

Just a thought - Your folder structure may not even be the same as mine (in previous RTR versions, the mod just overwrote the vanilla Data folders) .

Yeah I think I installed the bugfix correctly. It already helped me with this problem before too (revolt during rebels turn). Anyway, I installed the whole game again and then it worked -- even without the bugfix. I think it was something different... at least its working again.

By this you mean you were able to successfully load your previous saved game or that you`ve started again from the beginning? If it`s the first then it might have to do with deleting the map.rwm files. I`ve heard some people saying that deleting them so they can be regenerated again can be a solution sometimes. If it`s true it`s way better then reinstalling.

EDIT: a little of topic. I have started a thread here on advices and trick on going around CTDs. It`s meant for people who managed to get passed a CTD to share the method that maybe will work for others too.

Ah well, sorry you had to lose your campaign game. Good that it's working now though .

[PriestLizard]

Yes, I was able to successfully load my old save game in the new game. So I actually didnt lose my campaign. Maybe it was about the map.rwm files, probably I will have to try it out later -- when I run into my next CTD.
