Crashing is back

[ROFL Copter]

My game just continues to crash constantly. Now I have come to a point far into my campaign that I cant end the turn at all without crash on all the different saves. I think its lost. What do I do? This is the THIRD time this has happened with EB!

[Aernuss]

Yes, this is the best game ever made and yet, due to ctd's, is almost unplayable

[Knonfoda]

A city belonging to some faction (maybe even yours?) that is about to rebel maybe?

[Argeus the Paladin]

You know what's most annoying?

Crashing after a Heroic Victory. Oh the irony.

Extremely annoying but it can be 'rectified' via the 'auto_win' cheat, especially if you use a ridiculously numerically inferior army too.

[Argeus the Paladin]

I mean, without cheating.

[Knonfoda]

I mean, without cheating.

Well, the game crashing after such a battle surely justifies doing that? Its not like you want the game to crash on purpose or use said cheat without first fighting the battle first.

[dbug]

does auto_win give your troops chevrons?

[dbug]

kindof off-topic: is there a hardcoded limit to length of quotes?
because I once had loads of crashes after/before battles, when I was loading a saved game, etc
...which was "mostly" fixed (I think) when I edited the new quotes files

@Rofl Copter, try posting your game and the details of your build; also can you be more specific as to the crash, does it happen as soon as you press end turn, or is it at the turn of a specific faction, did you try stopping all constructions and troop recruitment, did you modify any files?

[ROFL Copter]

I'll never understand EB. I just loaded a save and did a few things differently and it is now working. Random...

[Faramir D'Andunie]

Nice to hear this. As a rule try to keep a variety of saves on a campaign (I keep one every 4 years) just in case.

Never had to use em so far, since I tend to start new campaigns over and over all the time

[Argeus the Paladin]

Great... now I'm crashing roughly once every turn.

[Faramir D'Andunie]

During the AI turn? perhaps it is a certain event that triggers it?

[Argeus the Paladin]

My turn actually. Roughly 50% of the time it crashes when a battle is loading.

[Faramir D'Andunie]

Wierd. I know closing the battle too fast after you get the statistics in the end can cause a crash at times, not seen a lot when battles starts.

Is it the same battle?

[Argeus the Paladin]

Wait. Closing the battle statistic screens too early causes crash?

Well, I was beginning to figure it out too...

No, those weren't the same battle, but rather two consecutive battles. Now I'm having a habit of saving before every battle, even minor ones.

@thread opener and all who posted here problems with EB/RTW:

Read please the section in the Frequently encountered issues regarding crashes. If you stick to those advices and still have crashes, why you don't open a new thread inside the Tech-subforum, so one can help you? Before complaining on EB, bare in mind that it is designed for RTW v1.5 and nothing other. Mini-mods can prevent the game from working properly, resulting in crashes or odd behavior.

With best regards,
XSamatan
