CTD turn 250 Sparta

***Cpt. Cholesterol*** · December 21, 2011, 06:17 PM

Hi, I have got a CTD problem on turn 250. I have installed both the original background script and the BattlerBritain script and nothing seems to help. It's on the Norici turn and it hangs for a second or two before sending me back to the desktop. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really was just getting into it.

Also, I am not 100% sure how to make error messages appear. I'm on Windows 7 and when I type show_err after the RomeTW-BI.exe it just causes the launcher to sort of hang and not launch the game (even when removing the -show_err from the launcher bit). I'm going to reinstall back to 1.1a and give the save a try again.

Just an update if anyone is reading this at all; I tried from a save about 6 turns before and it caused the same crash on the norici faction during the end of turn. Must be some sort of script error as I have reinstalled a fresh version of RTR.

I'm sorry mate, but I guess that there's not much we can do about it. It could possibly be some sort of vanilla crash, it's pretty far into the campaign which makes it very difficult if not impossible to esthablish its cause

I get exactly the same problem.

I've noticed, that sometimes, some units desappear mysteriously along the party ...

Edit Sorry i m wrong, winter 227.

For me it's during the Barbarian Tribes move in the summer of 257.....
These CTD are a real pain the butt.
This is my forth attempt at RTR7 and probably now my last as I dont have the confidence to start a new campaign.
It will only end in tears !

Such a pity , such a great mod.

We believe that it might be a problem in the reforms script, as some of the reforms will only trigger after 250 BC. Did you try to start a new campaign while using the BattlerBrittain script? It has already solved some issues of other people.

Can you point me to the BattlerBrittain script Please

Here you go

thanks again
does this script work for an existing campaign or is it only valid with a fresh start.

Also if you think you have isolated the unit that the CTD happens on, can you work the script around it ?

I have run two campaigns from fresh now - have got to around 260BC and 252BC before the crashes can't be got round anymore. To be on the safe side this both on a fresh install.

Any views around whether not patching with 1a, or whether the 'hotfix' is a playable option?

Shame as this is such a good mod (otherwise).

I'm guessing the hotfix isn't too playable. Since the CTD problem with the scripts has become rather apparent, I hope to look into it and fix it in some way. But the earliest I'll realistically be able to do that is in two weeks time. Maybe another team member will be able to take a look at it beforehand...
