RTR is crashing too often :/

**Splatterfox** · July 05, 2012, 11:42 AM

Hey guys,

maybe you already know me from all my threads by now xD
After not getting to run my old Spartan game where I played very long I started a new one, playing as the ones at the very right of the map (don't remember the name, I think the Attalid

)

But now I've got another problem. I already conquered some citys and made some money and now, after conquering another harbour-city, one round later the game crashes again (now two times at the same point, when a specific AI faction comes to its turn (don't remember which).

Do you know whats wrong with my game? I don't want to restart an additional time now

Greets,
Fox

Sorry for the late answer.
What do you mean with CTD? No thank you, I generally hate playing someone others saves^^

But has anyone an idea what I could do to prevent the game from crashing like this in midgame? I decided to start a new Spartan game after watching 300 yesterday (

) but this time I want to make as much sure as possible that it won't crash :/

I don't know why this worked for me, but you could give it a shot. My game was crashing regularly, at least once an hour and sometimes more, no matter what faction I played and without a particular pattern I could pin down as to what was causing the crash. On a whim, I decided to set the Strategic Map and Battle resolutions to the same resolution as my desktop. Voila, the game rarely crashes now (though it likes to do it when I get a particularly good heroic victory, which is annoying). Even if that doesn't work, tinkering with the preferences until you find a combination of settings that your game and/or computer likes is what I'd recommend. Otherwise you're talking about doing a full reinstall or some nonsense since it is very hard to troubleshoot someone else's problems even when it isn't a modded game that is the issue. Also, letting people know what operating system and computer hardware you are using can be helpful when looking for IT support.

Not to anyone in particular but I tried to play with my newest install with the default resolution which is 1024 x 768 (I think) which to me looks prettier rather than changing to my screen resolution which is 1600 x 900.

I just want to know what other people prefers and experience ? From what I know old RTW games are basically base to fit on the old 4:3 ratio instead of rather normal now 16:10 & 16:9 ratio.

I just used 1024 x 768 with widescreen option box ticked.

I know that some CTDs have been removed from RTR since the last patch was removed. For instance, there was a clone general or two that had slipped through the radar, and there were bugs in one of the scripts which may have been causing CTDs (and certainly wasn't always working as intended). So hopefully the next campaign will be more stable. I ran an AI campaign up to 200 BC without it crashing the other day.

In the meantime, I guess you'll have to deal with it and hope we are able to prepare the stuff for the next patch fast, though
