Perfectly Polished 3.0 CTD

**DemonOfWrath** · September 08, 2008, 05:11 AM

Alright, I've been playing PP for a while with no problems, but today I loaded it up (no changes made since I played it yesterday, I never messed around with any files) and on the initial loading screen (before it gets to the Nvidia logo and such, very first thing that shows up) I get a CTD, with nothing stated in the system.log. Does anyone know what to do about this, I've already tried completely clearing my SS folder and then reinstalling from scratch with SS6.0, 6.1, SSTC (up to latest) then PP3.0, essentially my situation when it was working fine (and without the mess of multiple installations of previous versions being overwritten), and the only difference made is that it doesn't takes around 1 second as opposed to 10 seconds CTD.

Does anyone have any idea what to do about this, it's got me completely stumped.

sorry to say it but i havent got a clue
myabe redownload and reinstall?

Redownload and reinstall probably will not help.
I have also noticed CTD error on my installation, and my brother too ( mainly during battle )
It is necessary to wait for patch, or latter version.
Other player had this same problems too

I have played as Norway into a 100 plus turns and had no issues. I am playing Denmark now and have no issues as yet (turn 30)......some graphics however seem a little odd, like Generals riding horses while standing!!!!:hmmm:....No CTD as yet!

Installed PP 3.0
Playing the French 240 turns and no CTD's so far

The only problem I have are that you can't upgrade Cork and Dublin to large towns.

@ DemonOfWrath
Maybe you should try to reinstall the whole game completely.
Also clean your register before you install the game.

Ok, tried completely re-installing M2TW just to see if it'd work, cleared the whole M2TW folder out then re-installed, absolutely no improvement. Also, it's not like it hasn't worked before, it was working one day then the next day it just wouldn't.

uuuugh... noone should play PP in its present condition... its a mess... and its mostly my mod (or rather, ryu's poor implementation of it) thats messing stuff up...

**DemonOfWrath** · September 10, 2008, 02:42 AM

Yes it is a bit of a mess but it's still very good. Ironically, the day it stopped working was the day I was planning on giving a shot at fixing a few issues with it (stuff like the Moors steamrolling Iberia and an attempt at re-instating the Templar guild changes from your mod).

**ignasigh** · September 10, 2008, 07:48 AM

Mmm yes I find that oddball's mod doesn't enterely work with PP 3.0.

It looks like the Templar's mod overwrote the Templars guild units availability for other factions, but left the Teutonic guild correct...

It's needed to change the EDU and the EDBuilding so Templars mod & Orders & Bodyguards mod can be together. Another thing that's missing are some unit small pictures, and missing text (Templars st.lazarus)

That was my choice, during the PP & KTM integration. I deleted all the extra Templar units, so they remain a Templars' faction exclusives. I felt that it would give them more distinction from other factions.

yeah, its not calidors mod that does it...
its the fact that ryu didnt include my newest version, but my first one... wich isnt gonna work with PP3.0

I did not close the PP thread so you guys can start dozens of others.
The mod is no longer available on TWC and posting the link will get you into trouble.
