Slogging through regardless...

Ive searched through the bug forums and DLV Europa post briefly and found that im not the only one, anyone else here still playing DLV 6.1 despite this hugely irritating CTD every 2-3 turns? It happens religiously so it cant be something like the mongols emerging or any other event, its just purely every 2 turns. Maybe 3 if im lucky.

Im playing as Novgorod and am still having the best DLV/M2TW experience since opening the plastic packaging all those years ago . Ive played DLV since about version 4.0 and this one definately takes the biscuit.

The year is 1234 (Yes i got that far despite the CTD) Ive got the Lithuanians massing at my western borders, the Kievan Rus making periodic raids into my southern territories and a sniveling brute for my Kynaz but damn it, its so good!

Anyone with any knowledge/info on this bug please please help me out, I would be eternally gratefull just so I dont have to start up DLV again every 2 turns.


Fantastic work once again guys! That goes out to all the sub-modders too

Viewaskew, man that problem sounds irritating. I've not been having this CTD problem you speak of in my TO or venice campaigns...

Have you tried reinstalling DLV? If not then I suggest you do and try it without any minimods just to make sure

Can you check your system.log.txt (use search) to see if it has anything about the problem?

Does the problem happen when you do something specific? Like clicking the settlement button after a battle or something like that, for example. Or maybe it happens during AI turn?

Oh and are you enjoying the battles? Are you using my BB minimod? (sorry, I can't resist a chance at some feedback )

I hope we can sort that problem, I'd hate to have to put up with what you're describing while trying to enjoy this awesome work.

You should try running a 'trace' in your log and see what it says. It might be easily fixed! Better yet post the 'trace' in the 6.1 beta thread... I'm sure Repman would appreciate it.

Ive re-installed M2 and Kingdoms twice now, tried it with 6.0 clean install, 6.01 hotfix. Even the open beta. All with no sub mods. Its been plagueing me for a few days now :hmmm:I am on Vista, I didnt think that would be much of a problem but I tried running in compatibility mode for XP SP2 and running as admin just on the off chance but still no luck.

The crash only everhappens in the AI's turn, normally either the Moorish, Georgian or Rebel turns. I havent used your Mini mod yet Taiji but ive read alot about it. Just the artwork mod from Tokus so far, and the no cavalry spread. But since im feeling generous and you guys are trying to help me out I'll download and install it once my girlfriend stops playing Sims 2!

I'll also check my system log and post it either on here or the bug thread. Again thanks for the help guys, I really hope I can sort this out.

Ok guys heres my system log I dont know how much you need to make a detailed analysis but I'll just dump aload on there, let me know if you need anymore.

[Xtiaan72]

I'm a decent bug detector for a lot of things. But this one ends strangely to my eyes...It pauses in the game movie files...I'm assuming the problem is in the mid-east building script right before that..But it doesn't point to a particular missing file or scripting error.. It's a bit of a puzzle for sure mate!

That would frustrate the hell out of me.

[Viewaskew]

I know mate! Its such an immersion breaker having to constantly boot up DLV after every other turn, I just dont know what to do. Ive never had this problem with any other version of DLV, I mean granted the odd CTD here and there is expected but this really is frustrating. Also I am playing as Novgorod so anything mentioning "eastern european" in the log is probably something to do with me? Although the game does tend to CTD on either the Lituanian or Georgian turn.

Can anyone offer any sagely advice or wisdom to help me play this mod the way its meant to be played?

[Xtiaan72]

This is 6.1 though right?...No campaign is worth CTD over and over. Bad for your computer.....Reinstall 6.0 or 6.2. Hopefully better luck.

[Viewaskew]

Ive tried it with 6.0, 6.1 hotfix, 6.2 beta. Hell ive even deleted the main MTW executable and re-installed that and kingdoms from scratch only to meet with the same thing. I just have no idea what it could be.

[Viewaskew]

Ok heres one for the history books.

After a complete re-format of my computer (needed to anyway) and a fresh install of M2TW Kingdoms then DLV 6.0 over the top I still get this CTD.

Anyone can figure that out then they get a prize.

[Taiji]

Since it seems the last thing that happens before the crash is loading or saving using the autosave, I wonder if there is a way to disable autosave...

[game]
auto_save = 0

Try sticking that in your DLV_ext.cfg

I hope it works.

[kaiserrobertiii]

Decided to finally register to post this. I've been having this same problem since 4.0, on two different computers running xp sp2 32 bit, and vista ultimate 64 bit.

CTD every 2 or 3 turns, I think I managed to get through as many as 5 early in the game though. Believe it or not DLV is still the greatest mod for MTWII, and worth the inconvenience to the point that it's now 1309 in my game. Now it C'sTD every time, I can go no farther. Every CTD happens during the rebel turn, or perhaps right after.

Situation:
Byzantines
2nd Time of Troubles (plague)
tried posted fixes that I could find here (no autosave, no widescreen, permissions, etc.)
DLV 6.0 hotfix 1 clean

Assistance appreciated!

[Taiji]

I've no idea what the problem is.

What other software are you running in the background?

Are you overclocked?

weird problem.

19:12:47.068 [bink] [debug] [data/fmv/faction/minor_lose.bik]Pause on

these two lines are the same at the end of both reports.


But why would the in-game movies be an issue in just a few isolated cases?

It is a puzzle:hmmm:

[Ahlerich]

haha, you guys are using nocd cracks or fixed images, eh?

[kaiserrobertiii]

nay, I have original legitimate MTW II with legitimate Kingdoms installed on it (not comprehensive bundle/gold/whatever)

[Viewaskew]

Mine is a legit version too Ahleric, UK gold edition. Thing is i've never had this problem in any other version of DLV, I tried disabling auto-save only to lead to the same problem. I have no other sofware running in the background apart from the core files vista needs to run, only thing overclocked is my 8800GT but that is factory overclocked anyway so that shouldnt be a problem.

Such a weird bug...

[kaiserrobertiii]

could it be that I don't have it installed in the default path? I don't because of compatibility file issues in vista. Can anyone tell if there's a path somewhere in the DLV code that goes up the program files tree?

[Viewaskew]

Its finally worked!

I deleted everything and reinstalled fresh into C:\program files\M2TW instead of program files (x86) played about 14 turns into a HRE campaign! I cant believe it was something so simple thats caused me weeks of frustration.

I can now play this mod the way it was meant to be played!

DLV is dead, long live DLV!

[kaiserrobertiii]

oh good god , i'll have to give that a shot.
