Annoying bug is preventing me from enjoying this fantastic mod

**philthepile** · October 14, 2009, 05:55 AM

I downloaded this mod and started playing a campaign with the HRE. I'm now 20 to 30 turns in and really enjoying it. Feels like the way MTW should be played. Now however I'm experiencing a recurring CTD preventing me from continuing the game.

When I end the turn the CPU players all take their turns. After the independents have completed their turn the game crashes to the desktop with the "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit." error message. I think it has something to do with a crusade being called as it says this in the error log:

PS. I'm running a fresh install of the game with no other mods installed (and yes its a legally bought copy)

Hope someone can help me out with this so I can continue leading the empire to glory in this fantastic mod.

I have had to re-work the campaign script a great deal to get it to stop being bugged and for the leadership feature to work...it will be included in the new version. I can post the script for you.

Thanks for the offer but I wouldn't know what to do with it. I'll just have to wait for the next version of the mod.

Very well. I find that usually reloaded 3 three times gets one passed such a quirk. The rebels begin the game with too much territory in my opinion...but whom else does one give it to...I wish this game were more like MTW in the different regions had different rebels and they could also fight each other. This game way to limited for the dynamics that it offers. Sega/CA should have let loose the dogs of war and opened the flood gates when the created this version. It own limitations present the biggest problems.

I've reloaded plenty of times and even reinstalled but it keeps happening. I think CA/Sega were concerned with attracting a larger audience than serious strategy gamers so they dumbed down the game a bit while making it prettier. That said, with the amazing work done by the modders this game has a lot more replay value than almost anything else I've ever played.
