Are you using the Steam version of Rome Total War?

You will probably need to reduce many settings to lower levels as the CPU speed is low.

However, it's much more likely that post-battle CTDs are due to Anti-Virus and/or simply Windows protecting itself.

There are a number of suggested tweaks for Win8 in the main forums I believe - it's not a Mod issue. The only thing RSII does particularly is stress the system and .exe to its limits and thus show up some issues.

there is a thread for thathttp://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-on-newer-PC-s

have you been able to resolve the issue?

[LordJulius43]

okay I'm back after awhile so here's what happen. At first when tried everything on the list (except the directx part), it kinda worked but then it crashes up 3 to 4 battles. Next thing is someone told me how to modify the game's exe to use more than 2GB of memory using CFF explorer and so far, no crash ever since! Even with max settings and after multiple battles, it still running! So thats it, now I'm happy.

The existing sticky thread can help with this...

....andhow to correct some these problems, as well as a guide to being able to playthis mod without CTD's.

It has become apparent to me that in the lastyear or so, people have started having problems with RTW\BI\ALEX running onnewer Operating Systems, in particular Windows8. But Windows7 offers some ofits own bugs as well, so I'm going to try and address some of these problems.But first, a very general guide that should apply for all PC's.

The procedure messe with the .exe, so its against ToS to discuss it here .

Yep, I figured out how to do it, can not believe this existed so long without me finding out. Such a shame that new computers handle old games worse though isn't it, maybe we wont even be able to play these mods one day, when our computers have become old and gray and we are forced to settle with Rome 2 (3, 4?)

I really do not understand why players are having more and more issues with the operating systems.
This game started on XP I then moved to Vista then to Windows 7 then to Windows 8 and now Windows 8.1 -

The bugs of the game have been by now defeated the only ones that remain have to do with the way the game was coded. As you have this really bad memory leak.
One thing I have noticed is players have more crashes when running an AMD video card vs. running an Nvidia video card.

When the game was coded it, they used nvidia video cards so that could be linked.

Just a programmers point of VIEW.....
