CTD with reinforcements?

How is this issue not fixed yet? It completely ruins the game as several of the battles (which happen to be the most enjoyable) are all very large, heavily reinforced battles.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled the game correctly, used ReallybadAI mod, and tried everything else I have found. Additionally, I have followed every step posted about helping the stability of the game, but this problem consistently occurs. ..nothing works!

How is it that there are SOOOO many other mods out there that don't have this problem, yet COW is cursed by it? I mean, how much can in actually take to fix the coding or whatever to make this problem go away?

I PRAY TO SIGMAR that the devs are able to correct this issue before the next release...it would be extremely disappointing to still have this problem occur with the new version.

The latest ReallyBadAI is already included in this mod. It is ReallyBadAI which is causing the crashes during some battles with reinforcements. Only one who is able to fix the problem is the author of the AI who is not a member of the CoW team. It isn't only CoW either, there are topics about the same issue in the TATW forum. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=544321

Only way to fix the crashes is to completely remove all the scripting from the campaign script and the scripts in the script/show me folder. Basically removing ReallyBadAI.

is that something I would be able to do myself or is it something that would take a stronger knowledge of scripting/coding/modding?

The reallybadai script in the campaign script is clearly marked at the top of the file.

All the way down to the code just above:

Over 22,000 lines of code to delete.

Then delete the script code in data/scripts/show_me, although you should fully test before you delete this second part. It may fix or improve the issue and you won't have to completely remove the AI, which is going to cause some different issues with a return of ExtremelyBadAI - mostly in sieges.

Backup files before you mod them.

Thanks Reiksfart! Ill give it a shot and let you know how it goes. Its just so sad because I LOVE this mod but with the amount CTDs its basically unplayable for me



EDIT: So, I fight these super long, epic, amazing battles...and then get a CTD when I hit the green button on the post-battle stats screen. UGH!!! I like this game so much but I cant take the f-ing CTDs

Good news for anyone plagued by the reinforcement crashes, Germanicu5 has returned to the forums, and is allegedly working on fixing the issues with ReallyBadAI.
