SS 6.4 CTD after battle

**preachercheeze** · January 16, 2011, 11:36 AM

Same as in 6.3 for me... after the battle result scroll I click on the OK button to start loading the campaign map again and it CTD's before any loading begins...

Would really appreciate any help for this... 'cause the CTD after the battle scroll was the main reason I stopped playing 6.3 three months ago...

That doesn't tell anything, change default.cfg to this:

Code:

[log]
to=mods/SS6.4/system.log.txt
;level=* error
level=* trace

And try to get the error again.

thanks, I thought that the log was showing nada, but what would I know...

have not had this error again, so I will keep playing and update the thread if it happens again...

PS: damn newt! didn't see you there... why change the avatar?

Time for a change! The Big Lebowski is one of my favorite movies.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

the log went up to over one million lines and 150 mB!!!!

Well... this time it crashed before the battle scroll... during the last phase of the battle when I was just about to rout the last enemy unit. Not a big battle where I had only eight units and the enemy had 11 units... no unit zoom during the crash and the general was already dead... the log didn't say anything to me...

Alright... if I am to continue play this game, I need to know why it keeps crashing after the battle result scroll... this is the third time in two play sessions... Usually every fifth battle ends like this...

The .rar is named in swedish... but it is valid... trust me... :grin:

I see nothing in that log. What OS are you using and where did you install M2?

**stevehoos** · January 20, 2011, 09:59 AM

Do you have directx 9 installed?

yep... my graphic card is supposed to support x10, but that option makes x10 games instable, so I go with x9... always get a crash at the closing of the battle scroll...

Newt: W7 Ultimate 64bit... The folder is in Program files (x86) but that is not the issue 'cause I have fixed the UAC problem with that folder by giving all users permission for the SEGA-folder...

**newt** · January 20, 2011, 11:04 AM

Did you give permissions before installing SS and did you delete any M2 folder in virtual store?

Yes and what do you mean by virtual store?

**newt** · January 20, 2011, 10:19 PM

Go to 'computer' then 'organize' in the top left. Then 'folder and search options' then 'view'
Click 'show hidden files and folders'

Then go to 'users\yourname\appdata\local\virtualstore\program files\sega' and delete the MII folder if it's there.

Before you delete it check see if it has an SS folder in it.

no SS folder in there...

**Notees** · January 21, 2011, 12:11 PM

Same problem, no folder there.

**preachercheeze** · January 22, 2011, 06:05 AM

Happened again... now after a major battle against the Lithuanians with the TO.... I captured both their King and Prince and also killed another general... practicly crushed them... and the crash have nullified all that!!!!

But the log says something about the campaign script with a line marked... it is the post battle scroll monitor that seems to be the problem...

this dulls the fun out of playing the game IMO...

**preachercheeze** · January 23, 2011, 08:56 AM

Aaaaaaand again... I wont bother with another system log, cause it doesn't seem that anyone have a solution to the problem....

**stevehoos** · January 23, 2011, 11:16 AM

You could try removing the 2 instances of "prepare for battle" from your campaign script, I tried that before and it worked with a similar problem I was having. I can't gurantee its success but it's worth a shot. The install of directx 9 fixed this post battle crash problem for me, the game is not supposed to run on directx 10, but I belive you tried that already as well.

**preachercheeze** · January 25, 2011, 02:51 PM

can you specify exactly which parts of the campaign script you are referring to?

Also, now the game have started crashing DURING battles... I was playing as england in the late campaign, holding Bordeaux (fortress) when a joint force of France and Aragorn lay siege... I was confident due to the fact that they didn't have any siege weapons... And when the battle starts (after TWO crashes during loading) the enemy have spies that have opened the gates...

I sacrifice four units to cover the rest falling back (general dies during this)... then I set up a defensive position in the fortress heart with three units of armored sergeants in front of the gate, two yeoman archers on either side of the gates walls, one heavily decimated archer unit above the gate and four Dismounted Feudal Knights around the gate as back-up... enemy have together 4200 men (mostly militias and archers, but also light men-at-arms, almoghavars, montesa knights, feudal knights, mailed knights and early professional units and such...

the first impact from the enemy goes poorly for them, charging in with knights against my archers and then meet the spearmen in shield wall formation (yep, modded that myself)... first unit of sergeants holds fast for a long time, but are overwhelmed when the general himself rides in... archers kill hundreds as the battle continues... when the infantry comes, my first sergeants break and run (one survive) and the second line takes over... when almost all knights are either dead or routed (only general, montesa and a couple of feudal knights left) and the infantry storms the gates the to flanking DFK charge in and start killing away.... the las line of sergeants keep their shield wall but advances... my yeomen fire away without mercy against the routing enemy and their archers that stands outside and tries to kill them off...

and then THE BLOODY GAME CRASHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am getting sick and tired of this... the crashes are more frequent now than before and I think it might have something to do with texture bugs due to the fact that it sometimes crashes when exactly after loading the battle (but before switching from the loading screen to the battle) or during a battle...

This is why I stopped playing the 6.3 installation... I didn't get any help with this problem and the issue is still there...

I have a top-notch comp that is only one year old... i7 processor, 4 Gb RAM, graphic card uses Dx10 and the Microsoft specs for gaming is 5,9...

I mean... FFS!!!!

preachercheeze,

I can understand your frustration with these acursed CTD's, my PC is only two months old, came with ATI5770 graphs card with DX11. I installed DX9, MTW2 was designed around this version and to date I have zero CTD's with 6.3 or 6.4

might try that then... but how do I fix that? AFAIK my graph card is both Dx9 and Dx10 compatible...?
