Hey Third Age Total War creators and able bodied modders, can I get some help?

[Talismanic]

Hi guys!
Ive been playing TATW for years now, and have always followed this forum, but i never made an account.
I am continuing to love the game, at the moment i have one problem and one dream which i would love fufilled!

The problem: I often have TATW crash (both 3.1 and 3.2 patches) as i am loading a battle or right as the in-battle appears. I have looked many times for a solution (one of the really common ones is to turn daylight saving off, but that didnt help for me). I have uninstall and re-installed twice now, i would love some help. If anyone needs it I'm not sure how to create(write) a bug report (im not sure what the correct term is ATM) so you guys can see what is going on. Thanks a alot in advance for any help.

The dream!: I love playing TATW, but something i was always keen for was having the TATW factions and units on the original MTW2 Kingdoms grand campaign map! I would love to have the Elves, Men, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, Easterlings, Haradim, Isengardians on the MTW2 kingdoms vanilla map!

I would have so much fun, but i know this is probably impossible. But if anyone knows a way i would Fing love you.

Thanks alot,

Moved to Bug Reports and Tech Help.

For battle crashes delete two descr_geography_new files located in your M2TW/ mods/ Third_Age_3/ data folder.

If that doesn`t fix it, the, answer these few questions:

1. What are your PC specifications: processsor and how strong, type of video card and how strong, amount of RAM installed? Is it a laptop or a desktop PC? You can check out this info if you type dxdiag in your Start - Search Programs and Files.



2. What Windows do you have?

3. Is your M2TW steam or non steam version?

4. Did you install all four TATW parts/patches up to 3.2 ?

5. When does the crash happen, in custom battles, during your campaign battles, in some specific settlements?

6. If the battles that crash, are there any reinforcements present on either side of the battles that crash? And, are there any Dwarven Axethrower units present on either side of the battles that crash?


For you dream, it can be done, but, it is a lot of work, and I don`t think any modder would take that kind of project. Unless you want to give it a try..
