Crash Error All mentioned Solutions failed

[EndGame02]

Ok So I am having Issues playing battles, everything else works beautifully but crashes upon entering battle. I've
looked up and down online for solutions and tried all the ones I could find, Including, daylight savings, removing geo files, remove some other files,
still same outcome, ive reinstalled multiple times and went straight into a battle first chance I could and still same out come.
I am able to play any other mod for Medievel 2 that I have tried but this one.

I am on XP SP2! 2Gb Ram, pentium 4 3.2 GHz processor (2CpUs) with a basic raedon x300 series graphics card.. Mayb the new graphics in game are slightly to much with the complete remake? Im not sure but if that were the case you would think the game wouldnt load at all but all works except when going into battle
Spent so much time trying to figure out why it wont work! So much time getting Gondor setup ingame everytime too.

Hmm.. 2 GB of RAM could be your bottleneck. Since M2TW engine uses lots of resources, and TATW even more, then you should try to either get more RAM (at least 2 GB) or, close all other programs and unnecessary services, turn off/lower all video options in TATW, use Small Unit Size. Also, try this 2 GB Kingdoms Large Address Patch: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...Guide-for-TATW

Also, do all battles crash, or just some? Are there settlements in battles which crash?

[EndGame02]

Its all battles that crash. No matter if In campaign or quick battle. Tried deleting the suggested files I found help for didnt work tho.

However, The older 1.0 Obsolete version works for my computer I just decided to try that now, downloading 2.0-2.1 now to try. If that works im guessing its something to do with the 3.2. I have no problems in any other mod running it with huge unit sizes etc. No slow downs. However I am on lowest graphics.

If you had tried disabling/turning off daylight saving setting, and deleting those two descr_geography_new files from your M2TW/ mods/ Third_Age_3 folder ( restart your PC after doing these two steps), and, your battles still crash, then TATW 3.2 is too demanding for your PC setup.

Your graphics card sounds like 128 MB or 256 MB strong, which could be another bottleneck along with the RAM amount present in your PC setup.

TATW 3.2 works on my old laptop which has Intel Pentium P6000 1.87 GHz dual core CPU, dedicated GPU ATI Radeon HD545V 512 MB DDR3, and 4 GB RAM. And, I have to lower all video settings, and use at least Normal Unit size. Otherwise, my battles would load in TATW 3.2 without any problems, but, they would lag as hell. Turning off/lowering all video settings fixes my lag issue.

Have you tried Custom battle on some plain terrain, with couple of units present?

[EndGame02]

Yea So 2.1 works for me, a tad bit slow at first loading the battle, but it runs. So maybe its just that 3.2 has too much to it for my computer or something else.. hmm. Well anything I should know about 2.1 crash wise?

[EndGame02]

Where is the 2nd geo file? I deleted the main one in the third_age_3/data folder. Yea u are correct I have 128MB. My graphiics card is crap lol. I am surprised I can even play half the games I have 3.2 Mite just be a little more than my computer can manage, something I want to improve down the road.. Well Maybe I should just stick to 2.1 than if that works, Just completed the download and install. If not, stuck with the basic 1.0. Any issues or crashes I should watch out for when playing the older 2 mods?

[ElvenKind]

I haven't played 2.1 much, but recall siege battle crashes were present for some users. There was no fix for it until the new 3.0 version came out.

Here is one of the threads with one user reporting siege battle crashes, and he has AMD CPU 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GB RAM, NVidia GPU 1 GB. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...hing-Third-Age

Ps. Checked out that link to that post, Ive read it before but I haven't had this problem yet and ive had hmm 6 hours game time in 2.1 with Gondor. First place I took was. My computer still amazes me sometimes at its capacity to do things. Especially if this guy has a better system then me . I think the biggest game issue I've had is in Starwars Empire at war Stargate mod, that on high graphics starts to do some funny things.. haha. Anyway for now I shall stick with 2.1 until I have issues. Can close this thread

[EndGame02]

Hmm well so far for me no crashes yet, some slow points when attacking bigger armies but no problems thus far with Gondor or Isengard on 2.1. Haven't tried any of the major unique settlements tho such as Isengard or Minas Tirith or anything yet.

[ElvenKind]

If you encounter some battle which crashes all the time, you can use auto_win cheat to bypass it.

SO I've been battling around the famous settlements like Isengard and Minis Tirith to hold off the best for last, well I finally decided to strike at Isengard itself only when I got on the battlefield expecting to see Isengard Im met with some random fortress.. Wheres the huge tower surrounded by a giant circle Stone wall.. and are the rest of the famous settlements like that is 2.1? Black Gate, Minis Tirith, Helms Deep (Called something else on the map ingame) Erebor? I mean it looks cool and all to see it on the map but its such a disappointment to jump in battle on one of them to see its all for show

Also I'd like to note, I reattempted to install 3.2 this weekend only I added a submod to it, MOS to be specific.. and Surprisingly it works just fine. So im guessing its something about TATW's 3.2 that causes battle crashes, I don't even have my daylight saving off. Or maybe its just the texture layers or something used. All I know is 3.2 doesn't work for me yet MOS does.

[ElvenKind]

Some custom settlements were added after the 2.1 version. Daylight saving setting should be turned off all the time if you tend to play TATW 3.2. It does not affect your PC if it is turned off.

If MOS works for you without any issues, then that's great news. Enjoy your gaming.

Well I turned it off again just to minimize chances of crashes the odd town does crash for MOS but so far not very often so.
Tho I cannot imagine trying to play this massive mod without using cheat codes to some point. I feel like it would b like playing chess only on a much
longer time scale of about 10x the length lol. SO You would be sitting there for years lets say to reach a full potential of the game lol. I mean ive seen ppl reach 50 turns.. Ive yet to hit 30 lol. I only use cheats within reason.

[EndGame02]

Okay So I decided to stop playing gondor on MOS and setup Isengard and High elves for when I was redy to play something different. Only when I started preparing my army of elves I noticed.. WHERES THE GOLDEN ELF ARMOUR!! Y would anyone ever want to take away the gold armor.. like WTH seriously.. Silvan Elves were silver for a REASON. Highelves r suppose to be gold! So Y am I seeing Silver armour on the unit cards dammit!

[EndGame02]

So this is a big problem for me, Part of why I love being the elves on the side, specifically the High Elves.. were their golden armor. In 2.1 Eldar Cavalry, Elf Spear, Elf Sword etc, were all gold.. Why would someone want to change that.. I love my golden elfs.. Screw the Gold Khun I hate their units.. Is there anyway to change the newly moded High Elf Faction to include TATW 2.1 version of the High elves? I love their units, one light army one strong golden army. After all, there are a few points in the movie series were we actually see both Silvan elves and High elves in gold.. I run go back t 2.1 before playing out these new elf factions.. I mean common... High elves don't look much different than Silvan elves.. GOLD MAN GOLD! How do I change this cuz I absolutely hate the new elf units.. I wanna see gold not silver. Ive tried all 3 elf factions too so.. please someone tell me whos the crazy one who took it out so I can direct my words to his eyes.

[EndGame02]

Sorry Just noting too aswell for some reason while playing isengard im getting the battle crashes again on all settlements.. I even tried ones I've been successful playing as Gondor..
