**wawlbawlsawl** · April 30, 2010, 12:02 PM

Hi, the other day I was playing TATW, I was Rohan and was starting a match in campaign.
But suddenly when I was hitting the "Start Deployement" buttom, the game crashed, and the error: "Mediaval 2: Total War has encountered an unspecified error, and will now exit" came up. Now it's happeniung alot to me. whats wrong?

I'm playing RR/RC patch 1.4.1 bugfixer heres my systemlog:

Hm, there are several error messages in your log.
Most of them related to the BAI.
Are you using the BAI switchter by Germanicu5?
Can you reproduce this error?
If so, does it occur always at the same time i.e the same turn and the same fight?
If not so, is it frequent?

**wawlbawlsawl** · April 30, 2010, 01:13 PM

BAI? No not what I know...
well its sort of frequent, almost every time I kill a general, or break trough a gate, the error oqqure and now, the "Start deployment" is commin all the time

when a error occures, it reproducec the same time every time

And all worked well beforehand, meaning you played TA:TW for some time (days, weeks or months) and never experienced this?

**wawlbawlsawl** · April 30, 2010, 01:52 PM

no, they were always there, but they are MUCH more common now

**wawlbawlsawl** · April 30, 2010, 01:58 PM

what is BAI?

**Aikanár** · April 30, 2010, 02:04 PM

BAI = Battle Artificial Intelligence

Ok, since it worked before and you're sure you've changed nothing. Well you are sure about that one, are you?
Or have you installed any other submods?
If so, which ones?
If not so, have you changed anything converning your OS (operating system)? Any security updates or the such?

**wawlbawlsawl** · April 30, 2010, 02:14 PM

well the UAC is turned off, and the only submod is RR/RC. No i haven't changed anything

**wawlbawlsawl** · April 30, 2010, 02:16 PM

and my virus program is actually needing an update! has that something to do with that?

**Aikanár** · April 30, 2010, 02:22 PM

Hm, very strange.
Have you made a backup of your clean installation?
If so, test whether or not the CTD occurs there as well.
If not so, I suggest making this a habbit of yours.
Always install the mod clean, rename the folder of the original mod to Backup.
Create a new folder called Third_age and copy&paste the content of your original installation (Backup folder) into your newly created Third_age folder.
Make this the gaming version vanilla.
For every submod you want to use, create a new folder....
You get the idea?
If you do so, you'll always have a clean, unmoddified and hopefully uncorrupted version of TA:TW you can always revert to.
If you did not do it like this, I suggest as the easiest soloution to deinstall TA:TW and MIIK in total, run a reg cleaner and install all again.
You can make a backup of your savegames, of course.
Proceed as described above and then use your backuped savegames with an RC+RR installation.
See if the error occurs with the savegames and without them.

SORRY! the error is coming up again, but i've found out that I AM using the BAI by Germanicu5, I found out that the BAI was IN the RR/RC submod. can you take a look at my log again and see whats wrong with the BAI?

I have the same problem....but heres something interesting. Early battles in the campaign with militia and such i dont CTD but later on when i get really advanced units like gondor inf ect ect. I attempted to start a battle and wam CTD..... I have RR/RC submod also. I got it before and i attempted to reinstall third age and RR/RC and still got the CTD so i assume its this BAI thing? Any solutions? : ( I have such huge armies and i hope i dont have to lose my savegame progress.
