CTD help?

[Shauny B]

I know this should be somewhere else, but the Guild forums aren't working.

Everytime I end a turn, it runs through to the Eleuthori and then crashes. I've tried most of the CTD help advice on this sort of crash (Toggled FOW and stopped all rebellions, etc), but it still does it. I think it might have something to do with the Epeirots, as their faction leader is besieging one of my towns and attacks it that end turn.

I haven't tried running the game off BI, but I don't know how, and, as previously stated, the Guild forums are down. Can anyone help me?

Try running that turn with the script off. One turn without the script shouldn't hurt.

[Shauny B]

Nope, that didn't work either. Thanks for the help though

if it is CTD at the turn of the eleutheroi, check to see if there are any clusters of eleutheroie armies , if so just send an army there and annialate them using auto_win attacker cheat, also another trick is to load a saved game a few years even decades back go next turn then reload your current game ...if all fails you can also try posting your saved game , an someone might take a look at it...

grrr, this will sound really noobish, but how do you move a roman character. I type in his name, but it says cannot find character, and then I took out his middle name and it says detination tile not valid! His name is Lvcivs Licinivs Crassvs and his destination is at 125, 192.

[sinner]

usually to move a character you just need to type "First Middlelast" however it is more complicated with the romans because there visible and internal names are diferrent, their last name is "Romanvs" the first name could be something like LvcivsA...B.....C ect... I beleive the last one might be "k".... so for your character you might try something like this move_character "LvcivsA Romanvs" 125,192

[Shauny B]

Yeah, that is what I have been doing, and it keeps coming up with err: character not found.

[sinner]

did you try different coordinates for the destination?

[Shauny B]

Yup, still the same. Grrr this is SO annoying. Just when I get a holiday...

[sinner]

yes, the romani are sometimes nearly impossible to move though you may have more luck with captains, one last trick is try moving him directly over a character like a spy or diplomat...

[Shauny B]

so a captain would just be "Captain Decivs" for example?

[Shauny B]

grrr I'm so over this. If I post my savegame here, can someone take a look at it. It would be so greatly appreciated. I've got all the way to 212BC...

[Shauny B]

I can't! omg it looks like it is back to the start! argh!

[sinner]

you cant post your saved game!? what site are you using?

[Feicht]

I'm now having a similar problem. The only difference is that my CTD happens basically right after I hit the hourglass button to end my turn. Why does technology have to be so complicated?

[sinner]

did you try the recomandations in posts 2 and 4 ?, also check for any revolting cities, or queued buildings which are about to finish....

[Feicht]

Indeed, I had a city in revolt so I'm sure that had something to do with it. If I'm honest I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it, but I think it involved making the city not revolt anymore... took about ten tries though if I recall.

And yeah I checked for Eleutheroi armies and didn't find any, and doing it with the script off didn't do anything either. I wish I could remember what I did...

[sinner]

do you have any queued buildings that are about to finish? try postig your saved game.....

[Feicht]

I dunno...like I said, I was able to fix it so I don't really remember the exact situation.

[sinner]

ah you fixed it, ok good for you, when you said that you tried it without turning the script on and it still didnt work, I thought you were still getting the CTD...
