CTD after epic battles

[5th Lieutenant]

Apologies if there is an obvious answer I am missing, but I had thought this was down to autosave (which I have set to 'false'). Was there another way to mitigate this happening? Occurs just after the stats screen appears and most frequently if there has been a large number of troops involved.

it`s good to wait some time after a battle,that way you give a chance to your pc to calculate all after battle things

Are you running Anti-Virus software when playing - if so, then that is likely to be the obvious cause.

What Odesos has written has become somewhat mythological if not even legendary - but after no CTDs at all after 1000's of hours over the last Year+ - I don't think waiting really does anything.

The problem is not how much is being written to the disk - it's how it's being done; which I believe is far too simplistic in this virus and malware century; but RTW was written in a nicer age.

I still get those agonizing CTD's too. I save the game at the end of the turn, at the beginning of a new turn and before a major battle (3 separate saves). I will also exit the game and restart the game after an hour or so of play. I find that that helps.

And do you have AV s/w running?

Could well be the anti-virus, I will check.

Thanks all.

It have been hapening to me also several situations .
And no i dont have any anti-virus installed.

With all modds i have been playing ,ctd´s are common (common not usual),due is hard to leave the game stable with the modd.
So what i do is try to live with it and always quick-save before a battle.

I use this method(CFF explorer)...and then no more CTD happen to me with huge battle...
