Really stupid crash

[Rob of the Julii]

Hi,

Every now and again when I am playing a battle the screen will freeze and start making bizarre vibrating noises. It's not a CTD it just freezes. I know the mod is powerful but it happens even in small battles where my computer theoretically doesn't need to work so hard. It's irritating because every time it happens I have to restart my computer, start the game again, load my most recent save and do the battle again, all of which takes the best part of 15 minutes.

Try downloading and installing the newest version of the device drivers for you video card.

Indeed it sounds like a video card problem. Could be related to computer overheating too, especially if you overclocked something in your PC.

Right I download and installed that and it seems to be working ok, but now I have a differenyt problem. I'm playing as macedon and currently besieging Athens. There's a big greek army holed up inside the city but they keep sending little armies against me. I of course choose to fight them, hoping it'll draw out the city's defenders. But they never come out, I've done about 6 battles like this now and every time I quite happily mince whatever KH throws at me waiting patiently for the main army to arrive but no joy.

Also whilst some of said battles are loading, the game crashes, a blue scree pops up with some text on and then my computer restarts. This has happened to me about 3 times today and it's pissing me off.

If your system cannot handle it, the game will not allow a large reinforcing army to join a battle even if they are able to.

The second problems sounds like more hardware problems. Make sure that your computer isn't getting too hot and try updating all of the rest of your hardware drivers you can think of.
