Before Battle CTD

[The Stig]

I get a CTD when I try to start a battle of any kind. The loading bar gets about halfway down the sword and then it crashes. I am running BftB2, but this was happening before I got it.

[Caesar Clivus]

If running Win7 or Vista, make sure UAC is turned off and you are running SS with administrator rights.

[The Stig]

Don't run either one. I'll get an error log.

i do believe it has to do with your video card.

Get a new one recently/update drivers recently?

if not, update drivers. If just did, roll back drivers.

did battles work before? In SS? In Vanilla?

[The Stig]

They worked in SS a while ago, and also in 'nilla, although I haven't played that in a while. I don't remember updating my driver any time soon.
EDIT: Updated, same thing happens

is any other game crashing?

[The Stig]

Nope. Vanilla works fine too.

[olliehax]

As soon as i click the enter battle button it CTD's on the campaign playing as venice, any battle. It does not happen on vanilla

[The Stig]

bump

Got this from the system.log this time. It appears that there is an error with the campaign script.txt file.

[bɑne]

Guess a full reinstall of the mod is in order

[The Stig]

Nothing. What is going on!?

EDIT: Might know something that could work. Hold on.
2nd EDIT: Did not work. The battles no longer crash at the loading screen, however. They get into the battle for a second, and then it crashes. During the spilt second in which I can see what is happening, it looks like some of my troops are standing on water and the rest on very dark grass. Maybe a texture problem.

[Caesar Clivus]

Are you running with the latest graphic card drivers?

[The Stig]

I run the latest PhysX stuff.
EDIT: Now vanilla deosn't work. WIP

[The Stig]

Alright, my driver is too modern. Er, how does one roll it back?

[Caesar Clivus]

Unless you've set windows to roll it back, you'll have to uninstall the driver manually and then install an older version.
