1.6a Crashing

**thebull0425** · February 23, 2010, 09:47 PM

I have been playing since I downloaded last Sunday, and I have noticed that the game is crashing after city battles, and sometimes for battles in the open. I disabled the autosave as suggested in the DL, and I also deleted the autosave in the save directory. I take it this would be happening more otherwise. Can someone let me know if this is the case.

Mine crashes too and I have auto-save on but I just say "OH well!!!" and start again!

The post siege battle crashes are an RTW bug, search for reinforcement CTD to read up on it. Any other crashes are most likely related to the terrain and you should switch to the old RTW terrain (see the download instructions for details) and try to fight the battle, then switch the terrain back.

You must set AUTO_SAVE: FALSE in preferences.txt. RTW will crash consistently otherwise.
Also, do NOT use 'Quciksave'....that is just like an autosave, and both are bugged.

The crashes in question were let's say after a battle at a city I am sieging, and I win the battle, then get to enter the city, it then crashes. On occasion, but rarely is it for an open field battle, but sometimes those crash when I go to enter the battler, it starts, then crash. But mainly when I am sieging and get attacked and win, then occupy the city.

Terrain problems CTD.

Re-inforcement CTD.

I quess I am lucky, because It is Very,Very rare for me to get a get CTD in 1.6a But I always play as Rome and follow the guide lines set up by the RS team..

**thebull0425** · February 27, 2010, 09:56 AM

I followed the guidelines as well. Or I thought I did. I disabled the autosave like it said.

This is my shortcut target: Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -nm -show_err -mod

Do I need to change that to the way they have it in the download instructions?
