Getting a bunch of crashes with 1.03

[Ivan_Moscavich]

I just started up a new grand campaign and have been playing it for about 6 hours now.

I decided to try several new sub mods.
12 per year
Stop barbarian empires
Concentrate fire
and transports through ports.

All but the last one are dei submods.

I was getting crashes at the end of the ai cycle every five turns or so until I ran it without using Stop Barbarian Empires.
20 turns later I'm not getting any end of turn crashes, but I just had two crashes in the same battle.

I'm fighting an insubres army of about 4.5k with a 3.5k roman army.

It was already unusually laggy at the start of the battle, both times. And both times the crash happened shortly after the enemy general routes (a mighty horse unit).

Not really sure what's going on. Besides the Concentrate fire, non of the sub mods affect in battle unit stats or anything about them to my knowledge.

This is the only in battle crash I've had in DeI, well, ever, and I've been playing it since you guys first started. Each release has been pretty damn stable (or I've been exceptionally lucky?).

I have a quick save prior to the battle if that's of any help. Otherwise I don't really know what to do about it.

Yeah I am getting crashes on startup with the new 1.03 and no other mods other than DEI

For the third attempt, I first retreated, and they started to siege Genua.

I attacked them when it became my turn, and despite some initial stutter, the battle played out fine and didn't crash.

It was a different battlemap despite being in fundamentally the same spot as the last two battles though.

So I'm not sure if it crashing when I killed the general was just a coincidence and it was just something on that specific battlemap or what.

It starts up just fine for me, and after ditching the stop barbarian empires sub mod (regrettably...), I've yet to see another one on the campaign map.

just had a freeze by turn 90
ctrl alt del - rome2 is not responding message.

I reloaded the auto save immediately and after that it worked ok though

[Godz_Mercenary]

I've had 2 crashes but that's all after about 7 hours of near constant gameplay fighting those barbs. playing as Rome extreme settings and large unit sizes. Just had to CTRL ALT DEL and restart game, just a minor annoyance.

[Baltizar]

I had two crashes and they always happen at the same point at the end of turn phase. When it comes to the slaves turn it crashes on 87th turn

[=ANTiKES=]

it just crashed for me, too. I finished the turn, after the last faction icon the game suddenly did nothing for about 5 seconds and then crashed to desktop.

I had not a single crash before 1.03 for about 100 turns and now it happened three times already.

I'm getting random crashes after last faction actions on end turn from time to time, after re-loading the auto save it works fine every time, i think its some issue with some script which occurs randomly through out the campaign.

I have those end turn crashes mainly in the early stage of the game, namely in the 0-30 turns, after that they seem to be gone.

Same thing here. 25-30 is especially crash prone for some reason. No idea why that is, but it's definitely a consistent thing every file I've played.

my two happened at turn 66 and 80

[Vardano]

Now this is unplayble for me, crashes every second turn before end of turn or when I try to quick save. Before 1.03 I did not have a single crash.

What were you doing before the crashes, what was the AI doing? More information is helpful when it comes to finding out what caused the crash.

As usual - I was conquering everything around )
It's hard to tell anything specific, it happens when I try to quick save the game and then after the crash message pops up and it says something like "Runtime Error Microsoft Visual C++".

[Dresden]

If you guys can post your save games I can try to find the cause. I didn't change anything that I would expect to cause a crash, unless some of the script changes are not as save compatible as I had hoped.

Are most of the crashes happening between the last AI turn and the first player turn?

If you post your save (remember it has to be zipped), also post any mods/submods you are using.

I don't use any mods except of GEM and AZTEC. Here is my save file https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_n...ew?usp=sharing

Thanks for helping me out.

Besides the crash I started the thread for (which thankfully hasn't repeated, though I haven't been on that specific battlemap with that specific enemy general unit again since so who knows if it would happen again if that situation ever arose again), yeah.
The game tends to crash around turn 25 and turn 30 at the end of the AI phase, and while the player phase is loading.

If you reload from the last auto save, it tends to complete the ai phase without issue.

Normally I wouldn't have even created a thread because I'm so used to just having to deal with one or two crashes and that's it per file. Considering all the scripting and the game code itself, two crashes in a six to eight hour play session is nothing to complain about.

Edit: I've also had two crashes when trying to recruit units. Once when recruiting princepes, and once recruiting Romanized pikemen from Appolonia.
However, I think this only happened because I had rapidly clicked the army > recruit > units in so quick a fashion that the game probably got screwed up in the recruit que and just crashed. That's my guess anyways.

As long as I don't click spam like a maniac when recruiting, that's not an issue.

Crash when Quick saving? Hmm...that is a new one for me!! I will check out the save thanks for posting it.

Edit: you need to change permissions on the save file so that anyone with a link can view it
