CTD with Soundmod and every 3rd-4th Battle

[goose134]

Hi All

I have reinstalled with the lastest 3 part install and tried installing the soundmod. I pointed it to the SAI folder C:\SKN Prog Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\SAI and it still hangs about 5 mins into the battle.

Secondly I think my BI disk might have given up the ghost as I cannot play with the soundmod and every 3rd to 4th battle it just CTD's. Its fine on the map and fine using auto resolve just battles.

I did test it with normal BI and didnt get a CTD on the 4th battle. I also had this on Rio's IFBD.

I have played RS2 extensively on RTW and had nothing like this but never used BI.

I have seen the Gold Ed on steam and am wondering if its worth buying that (RTW-BI) to see if its my disk.

Win 7
3.2 AMD Phenom 955 BE
4gb Ram
896mb Gainward gtx 275 Gfx

Any advice most welcome!

I adore this mod and just want to crush Sais!

Hmm, this sounds strange. So let me get this right. You are saying that when you install the Ihatemonday Soundmod option you get problems. Can you play with CA's Vanilla soundmod?

If Ihatemonday's Soundmod has been installed correctly then inside your SAI folder will be a SoundMod ReadMe.txt file. Open the file and it should say "Ihatemonday's SoundMod Installed". Is this the case?

Hello again Julianus

Sorry to bug you again but its really annoying me. Ok I have the soundmod installed and says so via the readme.txt. It just hangs in battle after around 5 mins with the music still playing.

I can play with the CA version but I am still plagued by these after or during battle CTD's and quite frankly its stopping me playing the mod.

I dont suppose you get this? Im starting to think its my BI disk because this does not happen under RTW and I have played many mods, SPQR, EB, RS 1 and 2 with the odd CTD but not every 3rd- 4th battle.

On steam its very cheap so I was wondering if it would be worth trying or ordering the gold ed from amazon either rtw-bi or all three.

Once again I appreciate your help as Im lost on this one!!!

It may be that your exe file is damaged on your BI disc. It may be time to buy a new one and see if that fixes the problem.

Hi Julianus

Have ordered a new anthology, will be here tomorrow so hopefully its just the BI disk.

Can I keep this thread open for now to report back?

Once again thanks for your efforts

Hi Julianus

I think I have solved it! My battle map res was different to my campaign map res. Once the same I have played 5 battles no ctd at all!!!
Unit shaders on and high res unit shaders, with normal unit size, going to try large unit size next.

I cant quite understand how I missed something so simple.
