CTD when ending turn

[tommpa]

Hi! Every time I end my turn the game crashes, and it always happens when Macedon plays out his turn. Please help, don't want to start my sarmatian campaign over

The CTD is probably caused by two characters with the same name, to solve it you will have to kill the "troublemaker" (this CTD is usually caused by not enabling the script, thus it can not kill him when he spawns)
Use toggle_fow and follow ai characters, when you find out who it is that crashes your game, try to remove him in some way.
(the easiest way is to kill him, but to move him somewhere else. the African desert for example will put him out of business for a while)
That is how I usually solve these problems

oki! but how do i move him? he is too far away to be killed.

Use the move_character "name" x,y command (get the xy by holding the cursor over the desired position and writing show_cursorstat in the console) and use auto_win to defeat him (and the CTD)

If the game crashes when you attack him your sole choice is to move him to a place where he can not interact with other characters (the African desert or a lone island in Greece for example)

That is the reason why we suggest you save before and after battles on map, and turns on the map now and then. But Frozen is correct. Hope it gos well.

I wonder if something could be done with those damn rebels, it always CTD's on their turn.

It may seem that the game CTDs in the rebel turn but that does not mean that is where the problem is.

To watch what causes the CTD you can do the following;

1) Edit Preferences.txt
change FOG_OF_WAR:TRUE to FOG_OF_WAR:FALSE (so you see the whole map)
change LABEL_CHARACTERS:FALSE to LABEL_CHARACTERS:TRUE
change CAMPAIGN_MAP_CAMERA:SKIP_AI_FACTIONS to CAMPAIGN_MAP_CAMERA:FOLOW_AI_FACTIONS

2) Launch the game and load your save. Press end turn - you should see in detail all the characters and units moving - it can take a long time and you need to stay awake to see what was last moving when the CTD happens.

I like that, ill update known errors with it.
But yeah you then have the option to move the general away from the problem, using the command i can never remember but its at the end of the known errors thread

It's really boring to watch - it can take ages as well....... It's also very easy to miss what happens last.....

I used to use fraps to record so if I missed what was happening I could always replay the action. However, at a certain stage for some reason the movie clip is now incomplete - I presum it was a change in Windows that casues this.
