CTD on Infantry Javelins

I just installed EBII + 2.01 patch, and every time a javelin is thrown by infantry, it crashes to desktop.

At first I noticed it with roman hastati/hastati spears/principes, then tried it with regular skirmishers, then tried it with whole other factions. It causes the game to crash every time (although the cavalry javalins don't).

This, obviously, makes the game unplayable in anything but the campaign map.

I'll try the Romans to see if I can reproduce this, but I haven't had an issue in 2.01 with either skirmishers or with infantry who have missiles.

Possible issue just based on your wording, but did you uninstall EB2.0 first? The 2.01 instructions specify to uninstall EB2.0 and then install EB2.01 (something I completely missed at first) -- it isn't a "install 2.0 first, then patch up to 2.01".

Hmm, I just installed one and then the other, so it should have overwrote anything. I tried fiddling around with more things, such as trying it on XP SP3 compatibility mode, and it seemed to fix the CTD albeit have a slow frame rate which indicates that it is an issue with memory and not directly with the mod itself.

Currently, I am trying to find ways other than turning down the graphical settings so that I can run it on native W7 64bit. The graphical settings are set to maximum (which has been fine with vanilla and third age) and am using Large Address Aware. Perhaps I can set Kingdoms' CPU affinity away from CPU 0 in the task manager and see what happens, although I'm looking to more creative ways to make this 32 bit single-core-coded game work out more smoothly.

If that worked, we wouldn't have specifically said, "uninstall old, then install new". Seriously we aren't trying to make your life harder. Follow the instructions, please.

That's what I would have assumed as well, but maybe not. So, do try uninstalling then installing 2.01 as per the instructions and see if that fixes things.

You guys were right, reinstalled and it worked. Sorry bout that.

I'm having the same issue, but I installed the game correctly. Any ideas?
