Problem!!!

[Bainbum]

Love EB!!!! I tried Rome Total Realism but it doesn't compare to EB at all. Any way here is the problem:


My PC crash when playing EB. I notice that EB makes my cpu run hot so I think that might be part of the problem. I am currently running Vista 32. Should I upgrade to Vista 64? Would that help? I have 4gb of Ram, G-force 8800gts, 250 gb HD. I play on a 32 in flatscreed LCD. Please help. Should I upgrade my Ram?

I play just fine on half that amount of RAM with all the settings to the highest and large unit scales. What's your processor speed?

AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 6000

You definetly have a strong enough computer, so your problems must lay somwhere alse. I run EB on a 3 year old laptop, and it never crashes.

Please explain where and how your crashes happen

I ran EB on a then 8 year old computer; 2.4 GHz processor, 512MB RAM.
It worked perfectly... until both my video card and motherbord died of old age.

It could be a problem with the RTW.exe and your dual core processor. I heard there were troubles with that.

Please tell on which occasions the crash occurs. How to ask for help with a crash can be a guide for you.

It crashes after playing a while. From half hour to longer. Beginning and After a battle or after pressing NEXT TURN. It also makes my cpu temp run high in the 70's.I notice after a crash the temp goes down to the 60's. I have a gaming system unit with many fans and my MB temp is a steady 32 degrees. Don't understand why this game makes cpu so hot. Also have cpu fan.

EB is a heavy game, no question. If you have CTD's before a battle you should apply the sprites fix for 1.2 (see the link in my sig), if they occur after a battle waiting for 20-30 seconds is the first choice. If it crashes in AI turns, in most of the times is a rebellious CTD the reason. If it becomes repeatable see the section in the frequent issues about getting around CTD's.
