Crash after battle

**Soulstrider** · April 25, 2010, 05:44 AM

In my campaign after a particular siege the game always crashes after returning to the Campaign screen, I don't get it since it always happens after this particular battle, I tried to load a save of a previous battle (still in the same turn) and the game run normally until it arrives to that the specific battle.

Post your dxdiag. It's usually memory related.

How many battles have fought before this one before taking a break? What were you sieging? How big were the armies?

Never done a Dxdiag fille but I assume it's this.

I have dones this battle 3 times, then loaded the save of the battle immediately before this one and continues to crash, this is all happening in the timurids turns, they are laying sieges to my cities. I also loaded the autosave before I ended the turn, and redid the battles and continues to crash in this battle. Both armies have full stacks and my city has canon towers, I already did plenty of battles similar this one and the game never once crashed, I also tried to restart my computer and still nothing changed.

I think is worth saying again that the battles runs smoothly only once I return to the campaign map the game crashes, I would like to avoid autoresolving(assuming this problem only happens in this particular battle) since it's would be a great blow in my campaign against the timurids

Timurids? Do they have elephants?

If so, it's bugged and you can only autoresolve the battle.

Yes they have elephants, I am winning the battle with an average of 30 losses per attempt, it sucks that I must abandon the city

I would like to know if such things like this are a "common" occurrence and if I can play without worrying this bug becoming too frequent? I would hate quiting the campaign due to this bug making it unplayable

There are bugs in the game but this is the biggest gamebreaker for fighting battles. If you find another one, consider it CA's "unfinished business", autoresolve, and continue.

The many mods out that have tride to fix it have usually just taken the units out of the game for the mod.

Ok thanks for your time, I appreciated your help ^^

Also I managed to not lose the town by sortieing during my turn and letting my wall canons crush them, exactly the same situation has the crashing battle but with no crash.
