Battle CTD's

**caralampio** · February 17, 2011, 08:10 AM

I'm getting frequent CTD's during battles since I installed 6.4, and also a few from the campaign map. This didn't happen in prior versions.

log:

This is what it says in those lines of campaign_script:

12615 end_monitor
12616
12617 monitor_conditions I_BattleStarted
12618 and I_CompareCounter label5_ready = 1
12619 and I_PercentageUnitGroupKilled army4 > 50

You started your campaign prior to making changes to game files (seen in log referring to different lines than in your current campaign script), which means some of the game's mechanics could've been disturbed. The errors that pop up aren't a problem and there's 54 second gap between last "error" and a CTD.

Try deleting map.rwm, all strings.bin files and disabling file cache (which enables compatibility mode) if 2 first methods won't help. You can also have a look at my sticky thread on this forum.

What folder are those files found?

I also get these crashes.... but my system log says that it is the post battle scroll that is the problem...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

The last line "prepare_for_battle" is the culprit in my crashes... and the crashes always occur after I press OK in the post battle scroll....

last lines in the system log

prepare_for_battle should be excluded from the post battle section, apparently my absence from forums influenced the fact it's still there, Sept 5 release contains this fix.
