Rome vs. Carthage: I can only play one battle, second one always crashes on load.

[Egoras]

Hi!

First of all I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I did some searches and went through the stickys but couldn't find anything. There was one thread that I couldn't find though, one containing the different CTD situations and their possible solutions. I read that thread some days ago but couldn't find it now.

So basically I'm playing with Rome, and can only fight one battle against Carthage on Africa without having a CTD on the loading screen. The second battle, always, gives me CTD on the loading screen.

Can somebody please provide some insight or help?

Thanks! For this and for this great mod!

are these battles hapening consecutively on the AI turn? if so u need to wait a bit before starting the second battle, also wait about 10 to 20 seconds after the music ends to exit the battle map screen. this the thread you are searching for http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=103681 this one could be of some use as well http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=286343.

No, the battles can be apart from each other. The last time I fought once against Carthage in Africa, then against the Gauls somewhere near Patavium, then fought again with Carthage in Africa and received a CTD. On separate turns. Maybe Carthage I was on the AI's, Gaul's as well and Carthage II was on my turn. I don't exactly remember.

I will try the waiting though, thanks!

The waiting didn't help...

By the way, the game crashes when the bar finishes it's second "loading rush" to 50% or so.

yes europa barbarorum is like that. is a bit sensitive, and heavy on PC requirements. As said above, the trick, that im doing , and is working , is wait before goes to batle while the battle panel is on, and when the battle is finished dont hit the exit buton right away. Let the music play on and finish, then wait a bit, and hit it. Also if you play for manny hours straight that might happen more often, so if you play like this is, just take break, and exit the game, and restart it, and continue on.

Have you installed the fixes in the stickied thread in this subforum?

[Egoras]

Yes!

Now the problem algo occurs with Swoeboz.

Just reporting for the greater good, not complaining! Maybe this helps with the development of EB2, dunno.

Thanks again!
