CTD with certain factions

[J1N6666]

Just installed 1.2 + fixes... but i am getting horrible CTDs whenever i try to do something with the Koinon League

Custom Battle:
Koinon League vs Makedonia
loading... 95% <----- either crashes or turns frozen blank white screen

Koinon Campaign:
loading... 95% <----- either crashes or turns frozen blank white screen


Carthage Campaign:
Works but very frustrating...
Crashes against 25% of the Numidian generals in battles
loading... 66% <----- either crashes or turns frozen blank white screen

Crashes against battles with Spanish settlement under the Lusotaian.
loading... 100% <---- finishes but then either crashes or turns frozen blank white screen

Everything else is fine.

Historical Battles:
Works perfectly, except for the one battle without a description

Download:
The torrent link(s) on the EB website for both 1.1 and 1.2
Fixes on this website.

Any support?

Check the main menu if it displays the right version number.

Please clarify if these crashes are random or repeatable, especially in the campaign.

Any minimods installed?

Run validateInstall.bat found in your main RTW folder and post your results here (best in spoilers).

The Frequently encountered issues contain very important informations about this topic, be sure to carefully read them.

Version #:
EB:1.2
In the options however it says 1.5 in the top right...

The CTDs are repeatable... as in they happen every time i do a perform a certain action, they are not limited to just the campaign, it also happens in the custom battles with some factions like Makedonia.

No minimods installed, i want to perfect the system before i implant any submods.

The Frequently encountered issues does not state anything about crashes while loading, so here i am.

I ran the validate install, but due to bandwidth problems i TWC isnt allowing me to upload the .txt file or a spoiler post with the million line log, I can however give you a basic idea of it.

Every Column begins with "added file" probably resulted from the 1.2 fixes...

If there is any work around please tell me...

You have a changed Rome-TW.exe; EB does not work with cracks or similar stuff nor do we discuss things like this.

Alright, so the problem lies with the Rome-TW.exe? If so, then i will just upload a validation of a complete reinstall without a change in the .exe file (orginal disks 1-3).

The crack was just so i didnt have to go hunting for the game disk(s) every time i wanted to play.

Other than that, were there any problems with the way the EB files were installed?

Please upload the validation zipped (I think this works here fine) or upload it to another place, this helps me to understand if your installation is bugged.

EB needs a 100% clean Rome version, be sure to not have any other mods installed at the same time that affect Vanilla.

Loading crashes mostly have two reasons:
- 1.2 fixes are not installed correctly (for battles)
- movies are enabled (add -nm to the end of your shortcut target's line or disable it in 'EB Configuration') (for campaign crashes)

Often a radical new-installation does solve issues like this (as a last option).

Ok i zipped it and uploaded it...

I have just reinstalled this for the 3rd time along with the fixes. The results are below.

I have yet to try the movies fix, but that should be related to the campaign correct? What about the crashes when starting a custom battle (with certain factions)?

[XSamatan]

No, the rest of the validation looks fine, just don't use cracks on such a good game.
As you already have BI installed, you may want to check out EB on BI after re-installing, this will improve the Ai.
