Frequent crash with Rome, but not other factions?

[ooji]

I'm starting to wonder if the CTD has to do with long character names. Since a lot of Roman family members have very long names, I am wondering if that causes CTD. I use Steam, so I can't relocate my game from Program files x86. With Rome, the chances of the game crashing is like 1/3. With others, it's much less, probably around 1/7. Anyone know why?

well, this is probably the reason

I think Rome has access to more units than other factions, so there are more possibilities of getting the "path leght" CTD


you could, probably, try the reverse approach
renaming the path of files...
for example the
...\EB\Data\models_unit\ebcarthage_infantry_libyianlate_thorakitai_scortamavera_spw&aymar_high.cas
could become
...\EB\Data\models_unit\car000.cas

but then you'll need to edit all the files calling on the model

Ah I'll try that, thanks!

anyway, it's a lot of work...

The CTD got so bad that in 210BC, I can't end turn at all. Instead of ending the turn, the game crashes every time. Is there any way to solve this problem? I worked so hard on expanding my Roman just so I can see imperial Roman units, but now all that's a dream only T_T
