CTD well into campaign. (end turn)

[Beowulf1990]

Playing Sparta, so far I haven't had a single bug and things are going well.
All of Greece and Macedon is now under Sparta and I just finished the conquest of Sicily and the town on the tip of the boot (forget the name).
So I qeue up some units and buildings, press end turn and it CTD's for no apperant reason. Upon loading the savegame it still does the same.

So, am I doomed?

I am sad to see that you have got now answer. This happened to me as Carthage now in my One turn campaign. Twice. I can not get further in the game. I don't understand why this is happening since I have finished a whole Pergamon campaign without this paricular CTD?!? Apart from that that was not a One turn campaign. Maybe the problem is hidden there?

Info:
XP, Athlon dual core,
2GB RAM
Medum graphics settings
Installed in G/programfiles/RomeTotalWarRomaSurrectum II
No error message just CTD when pressing End turn.

Please help!!

After strugling for a solution I found something in this forum that works!

First, make sure to activate the script (the lady up in the left corner), when you start playing.
Then, press the button above the Tab button on the keyboard (at least on my Norwegian keyboard)
A black broad line get visible on the screen. Write: toggle_tow and press Enter. This comand removes Fog of War.
Then press the End turn button. It worked! For me at least.

The only trouble was that my hidden Carthagenian forces suddenly became visible and hence I could not ambush the Roman stack... Hopefully this problem don't last.

...the toggle_fow trick works on a great number of these end_turn_ctd...what a luck that it does not happen on a regular base...if the end_turn_ctd appears it normally does it just once per campaign

Thanks, it was your tip.
I suspect the reason for this happening is that the "Script woman" don't always turn up. Playing as Carthage I have to click on Carthago the capitol, to get here visible. By that time I might have played a while and also hit end turn. I have tested this several times and wonders when one play without activating the script, might this cause the Endturn CTD?

1. You have to exit the game each time you load another save or campaign and the
"script woman" () will always pop up
2. No...running the game without script has no negative effect or cause ctds...with script end turn ctds are only possible if there is a wrong code in an executing monitor which confuses the engine...wrong unit name in a spawn command for example would cause CTD when trying to spawn the unit as it can not relate the name with a valuable entry from the Unit details/names file...
If on the other side the monitor itself is coded wrong (spelling error) it is simply ignored.
The script stuff is veeeery picky...a space, a wrong letter... anything else from 100% perrfect code results in ctd or the script be ignored...

The advice has always been that - If you start a campaign with the script running always make sure that the script runs. Otherwise, the results cannot be predicted.

Yea, crazy happens if you mess around with the script, I was forgetting it once putting it on and off sometimes and eventually years started skipping and my save game became unplayable.Morale of the storyon't mess with "The Script Lady" she a cruel mistress.

I have now played for a long time with no problems what so ever. This marvellous game is just so addictive that I fully understand the greif that strike those who don't are able to continue. Hopefully they now will.
At the same time I can give a warm recomendation to the One-turn game. Less battles, and more fun.

All the best
