Numerous CTD's before and after battles.

[Mogan]

Good day gentlemen, and hello from a new fellow of the IB community.

Recently I've played Barbarian Invasion out of boredom, and wondered if there were any good mods out there for this timeframe. I settled on trying out IB, and quite immediately found myself enjoying it. However, the happiness was severly hampered upon having CTD after CTD when initiating battles or after fighting them, making playing virtually impossible. Now, I read a bit around here, and found that I shouldn't have tried to install 7.04 as it's deemed unstable. (I also installed the sub-mod that swaps Armenia for Alans, because I like historical likeness).

So, I'm trying a clean re-install of IBFD, but I wonder: are there any known graphical bugs? The CTD's produce no error log (which, after several painful attempts of modding R:TW) I recognise as being something associated with graphics. Either a texture that bugs or whatever (it's not missing, since that would have produced an error message).

Other than that, I must say that I found the structure of the forum a bit confusing, and that it took nearly an hour to find the information neccessary for me to install it. Perhaps a compendium on IB and all the re-names and sub-mods should be sticked at the main IB-forum. Just a little heads up to the department in chief here.

Otherwise, I hope you can assist me, as this looks like a great mod, and I think I'll enjoy it as soon as it runs properly.

Regards, Mogan

Good afternoon, Mogan

Are you playing the 7.03 version? It is the most stable BUT not if you play with the scripts activated. 4 turns per year works fine but the full scripts is buggy!

We are aware of this, and are currently working on reorganizing the forums to make things easier to overview and find etc.

Other than that, it is just as SeniorBatavianHorse says, the IBFD 7.03 version is very stable if you don't activate the full script. So when the message icon pops up in the upper left corner, simply ignore it and you should be fine.

Thanks for your responses. I will try to run it without the script, as with it, I had a crash when I simply pressed turn. But I managed to play an entire battle with the Saxon invasion as the Romano-British. It was a great experience, and I think I'm going to spend way too much time on this mod.
