Random Crashes

[Aquila SPQR]

Unfortunately I too have problems with RS II. It is strange though, because at the beginning everything was all right. Now I'm getting CTDs rather often and in various situations. Sometimes I have CTDs when I am on the campaign map (just like few minutes ago), but mostly during the battle. It is error "memory cannot be read or something like that - I dont know exactly because I see only a mouse arrow on the centre of my game screen and after hitting "enter" (the only thing I can do) the error message disappear (with mu game ). I don't believe it is caused by actual errors with graphics settings, because I played for a long time without such problems and had battles with ~ 10 000 soldiers.

If I recall correctly I had one campaign map CTD (after hitting button with this script activation or something like that), two or three after battle loading screen CTDs and about 5 CTDs in a certain battle.

My specifications:

Win XP SP3
RTW:BI 1.6
Not Steam
Install path E:\Gry\Copy of RTW-Roma Surrectum (because I also use a different mod in other folder "Copy of RTW)
Launcher options - RTW:BI, default vegetation quality, and Hi-RES units.
CPU - DualCore 2.66Ghz
GF9600GT
4Gb RAM
Graphic options: IMAGE

(first I had everything on max, but when I started having those CTDs I changed vegeration and grass to medium)

But as I said - earlier I was playing RS II without any problems. Right now I too can play it but still have fear that after few seconds I can have that error.

Oh - I also downloaded that file with traits but not the 2.1 patch. I don't like patches that are not savegame compatible

Edit - it is ridiculous. Game became unplayable. Right now I have CTD always after about 1-2 minutes of playing.

So, are you playing RSII or RSII with some of the 2.1 patch?

I'd think that if you use the traits without the patch then the game could become very unstable.....

Hey Aquila, I have the same issue as you! In my Spartan campaign everything was allright till to today. Didnt have much CTDs at all, but that changed. I have a CTD within 20 seconds after loading any save game, which is very annoying.

If your getting a memory read error than the issue lies in your RAM sticks or the slots they are in. Heat is a major factor here is the temperature of your internal hardware gets to hot you will start to see weird errors being caused by your memory sticks. They are very sensitive....

Try removing some ram sticks and test the game and see what happens. Move them around in the slots.

Let us know what happens
