IB VGR Installation, Ctd, and Bug Thread

[Octavius-Augustus]

OK Rio, that will be grand. Thanks for trying to help. I have doubts it's these textures, though. Why would some battles load and the next one - not? Also I have to state the fact that I turn off the grass to get better performance. By the way, I've heard of a BI-related CTD that has something to do with what resolution the player uses on the campaign/battle maps. But since I get the same crash with Alex.exe, this is not the problem, too. The whole thing is soo confusing and frustrating...

The only important hint I have for now is that this crash seems to have emerged after I installed BRG III, but I don't remember regular crashes playing BRG II. Maybe some of the new features of BRG III could be the reason for this?

My game crashes everytimes in campaign, so i didnt have issues when i played with my DVI card graphic. But two days ago, i've changed card and screen for VGA. For this time, my game crashes in AI turn. I've no issue in battles...

Hi Jeremy971
what do you have downloaded thus far for the rio mod? and the bi folder within the rtw folder was copied and renamed to rio right before installing?
It happens with a different campaign always? Does it happen at different years or the same year? You might wanna try reinstalling the mod if they are random.

With the assimilation patch Ive tested this over and over without a ctd so I dont know...Did you try redownloading a new brg III?

I believe I know what the problem is!

EVery time the screen comes close to the General unit, the game crashes!

I must try the General Unit Assimilation patch - but the former link is broken!

Do help!

Thank you.

Hi Glen
Yes.. a strange issue for some graphic cards
The Assimilation patch(replaces the general unit patch) for the time being fixes that.
You might have an older link your trying to access the patch from?
This is from my DL thread

-Extract to your desk top
-Copy or drop the rio folder over your rtw folder where your rio mod is located, copy over all existing files.

[Octavius-Augustus]

Well, no... I'll give it a last try, though, when I have time. Thanks anyway, Rio

[Octavius-Augustus]

I'll try redownloading, however I'm now having crashes with other mods, such as RS. Mods which previously have never crashed. This is getting so bad and I still have no idea what might be causing it.. Well, I'll certainly tell you if I have any luck figuring this out, Rio

P.S. Sorry for the double post. At least now we know that this issue is not mod-related, it's my PC.

Sounds like a graphics card issue Octavius-Augustus. Maybe check out your drivers and replace them.

[Octavius-Augustus]

Thanks for the suggestion, mate. I was kinda starting to wonder about a graphics issue myself. I don't know how to proceed, though. For now, I removed my fancy brand new nVIDIA graphics drivers and installed some older ones, in case they work better with my outdated video card. I hope it works, will inform you of progress.

Edit: It's not a driver issue. Playing with the old drivers actually gave me better performance, but the second battle I fought in BRG III crashed. I'll keep these drivers and attempt a whole new installation from scratch and also redownloading. I hope it helps, I'm starting to get really frustrated over these CTDs. I didn't seem to have so many crashes in the past. I wonder what maybe the reason...

Anyway, sorry for the constant nuisance I've been because of this issue. It seems I just have to accept the fact that it's there.

good to hear and more good stuff on the way

[Claudio II Gothic]

The mod is awesome,but when I start a battle sometimes I have a CTD.
I think Visigoths are too powerful,they can recruit too many units in a little time than the others factions...

Hi Claudio II Gothic

Can you reload the battle after the ctd?

[Claudio II Gothic]

Yes,when the game has a CTD, I can reload it and play normally the battle and the campaign....but this CTD in BRG III is more frequent than BRG II and RR 8.0.
Maybe the problem is my PC,I don't know..

[Octavius-Augustus]

Same thing here. I still don't have an idea what causes these frequent crashes I'm having with BRG III (and also other mods).

I'm having the same trouble with the rio/data/export_descr_buildings, line 2407, column 34 expects 'nothing; or requires.

I've tried reinstalling and copying the base folder over 3 times now and I still keep getting the error. Is it possible to just post that .txt file in the downloads section?

I really want to play this mod, but it keeps on giving me so much trouble.

Hi mw1776

Posting that file unfortunately will not solve the issue. I've tried that before. Its very befuddling to say the least and recently I've found out that if the mod is reinstalled several times it seems to work. Someone said it took him about 5 times once but any way I have a non mod folder version if you want to try it(it has almost all of the next assimilation mod patch II within it ..I have it posted in the download section.

[Octavius-Augustus]

Maybe the option 'MINIMAL_UI' was enabled in the preference file? This makes the speed buttons hidden

[Hound of Ulster]

no problems so far, but the minimal ui option seems to also effect IBRR and EB as well as BRG

[Octavius-Augustus]

Is that the source of the issue?
