Spartan unit causes CTD, anyone noticed this?

[nointernet]

I have been playing DM8.0 now for quite a few hours (about 50), i can play as any faction except greece and go for hours at a time with absolutely no problem then as soon as I attack a greek army containing Spartans I get a CTD. My first campaign I played as the Greeks and was getting a CTD every 2 to 3 battles. A greek army without Spartans is fine. Leave the greeks alone and I can go 10 or more hours without a problem.

As any one else noticed this or does any one know if there is something unique about the Spartans that may cause the CTD?

is that all u notice???????????????????????????????? no it never happen to me before, but have u notice that spartan hoplite's shadow is an squire box?

[The Black Reaper]

stop complaining... ATG probably forgot to save the the alpha channels on the shadow...

I think this may be a coincidence.
As I have seen...there is only a simple sprite issue with the spartans. I gave them other sprites and the problem of ghost torso sprites exists.
It must be the cas/skeleton units. I must contact ATG.

Other than that... no ctds related to them.
But I thank all the notice bcs in all things the slightest probability must be surveyd for perfect results.

OMG i was wrong! it happen to me tooo! wen i have 3 units of spartans alone and the enemy persians start the battle and CTD!!!!

Hail,I have started the Rome prov campaign and have had my first series of CTDs,I suspect the spartans are the problem,first strange thing when defending the town of cannea in the street battle the spartans were kicking the hell out of my hastatie I sent in my last unit against them and they just vanished looked all over the town no sign of the spartan unit.From there when the greeks attacked me on the map CTD,This occured about 5 times.I took the drastic action of deleting the spartans from the data file the game is now running after 6 hours of play without any problems have fought the greeks in 5 battles without a CTD.

I have been trying to get in to Greek/Mac campaigns I'm having frequent CTD's it's starting to bug me now.

I have faith that this will be sorted

hi All,

I am extremely confident this is caused by the presence of Spartan units. I have put a LOT of hours into playing this MOD and have narrowed it down to:-(pease note I am not a programmer)

If on first loading the game or after restarting from a CTD a battle containing a Spartan unit is the very first one you load then it will work fine. However if any other battle is fought first then a subsequent Spartan containing battle is fought you WILL CTD. There must be something in the settings that changes when a battle loads that is subsequently incompatible with the Spartan units.

Some one who unsderstands code needs to look at exactly what changes when a battle is loaded that could prove to be in compatible with the Spartan units. Or we need to replace the Spartans units with something more user friendly.

Any of you clever coder types want to look into this?

I certainly take this as a strong fact issue to survey...will be ready in patch 8.1 ...but hopefully it is random (Not critical)

It says though that the mini spartan mod from AtG is for the v1.2.Will it work for version 1.5?

It will work. 1.2 means version of the mod not RTW version
