Problem with 1.4.2 campaign...

Hello! I finally managed to install 1.4.2 correctly today, and played about eight turns(as Nordland) without any CTD's. Then I got a scripted chaos attack on one of my cities. Remembering how that battle always gave me a CTD after playing it previously, I saved and auto-managed the battle.

The battle was fought and didn't give me any CTD, but then the game froze on the High Elf expedition's turn. I saw that the wakes on the water kept moving and the music kept playing, but nothing happened. I waited for a minute or two, then I quitted the game.

When I started up the game and tried to load the save, it didn't work! It just gave me a "unspecified error the game will now exit" warning.. I tried pretty many times, same answer.


I'm pretty sure that I've installed correctly:

First I patched Kingdoms to 1.5, then I downloaded COW 1,4 and installed it. After that I ran the music patch. After that the 1.4.1 patch and then the 1.4.2 patch. Then I ran the 1.4.2 english translation patch.

Please help me, I really want to be able to play this awesome mod

Also, I'd love some help regarding the loading freeze... It was directly after the

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Chaos attack on Dietershafen

I don't remember the exact turn, but I think it was the eighth one...

Hello,

There are known errors relating to the Chaos undivided script. What I did was copy 1.4.3 campaign script over to my 1.4.2 and that seems to work well. However, I think I started a new campaign.

In 1.4.2, sometimes saves do become corrupt. This seems to lessen if you turn off autosave.

Thank you for your answer, though, do you know what the campaign script's full name is?

I thought that COW automaticly turned off autosaves, guess I was wrong

I don't know what to tell you. If you copy and paste campaign script, you might simply want to upgrade your entire campaign to 1.4.4 (I would save your current COW directory (I simply rename it Call_of_Warhammer_1.4.2)

As for campaign script, it is here: /data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign

Yeah, I'll update it to 1.4.4 tomorrow instead. That way it'll take care of itself in the patch progress, right?

(I mean, I won't have to copy paste the script, as it's included in the patch, if i'm not mistaken)

Well, I installed 1.4.4 today, and played the battle. The turn loading stopped at "High Elf Expedition", but after waiting perhaps a minute it continued to load. Saved a couple of times as well, quitted the game and re-loaded, it worked!

However, after playing perhaps 10 turns, I battled a chaos army out in the open. I played the battle, to get a CTD afterwards. Perhaps due to computer over-heating or something...however, some CTDs may be impossible to avoid? I guess i should be able that I'm able to play the campaign and use the saves at all

Trying playing on army size = normal versus huge and see if that makes a difference (if you worried about whether your computer is able to handle the mod). After battle CTDs are the worse.
