Endless CTDs

[ozyhuboi]

I have been trying to get Stainless Steel 6.4 to work with my game for several weeks now. I have a Steam version of Medieval 2 Total War and SS is running with the following specifications:

Savage AI
G5 Emergency battle fix
G5 RBAI V.5
I also have the latest bugfix compilation installed.

Uploaded are two different games with logs, with similar CTD cases on both. The main type of CTD I suffer from is M2TW will suffer from an unspecified error right after the battle has finished loading on the load screen. This happens consistently after maybe the first successful battle following a computer restart. Basically, I cannot fight two consecutive battles. After I installed some of the latest fixes, I have been getting other CTDs during the turn waits where a small empty box appears and the game just stops responding. I have tried at least 10 different fresh re-installs and scoured the forums for a fix, but have found none. A similar case I found is this thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...n-battle-start

Please help!

Well at 1st glance, latest bugfix compilation already includes G5's RBAI v5.7 and the emergency battle fix option
so having them twice could be creating some trouble.

Also have you tried lowering graphic settings? Today PCs shouldn't have trouble running this mod at max but maybe the drivers are giving problems.

Thanks for your reply. First, I tried just lowering the graphics without removing RBAI, which didn't work. Then, after removing the double fix and lowering the graphics to either low or none and unit scale to low, which surprisingly worked. What was more surprising was to see it work with unit scale at Huge. So my game works with graphics at really low o far. I'll keep experiment to find that line in which my game will still work but not look horrible.

I'm having a new problem now that the graphics issue is solved. It appears that my game tends to crash during the autosave phase, right before it switches from Rebels to my turn. Occasionally it happens on another faction but it usually happens on the Rebels. The CTD comes in two forms, one the standard popup with the "Unspecified error" message and the other is a simple window with a blank button. This should not be graphics related. I have the latest bugfixes and turned off the emergency battle CTD fix. I have attached my latest saves and logs.
