CTD on Siege defense. I have tried everything suggested, and now i want to try to remove the custom textures from the siege equipment in the game.

So yeah, i've been having this problem with this mod for a long time. After awhile, the game just starts to crash during battles and no matter what i do i can't fix it. It's pretty frustrating, because it happens after 100+ rounds or smth, so i lose a lot of progress.

Anyways, i installed MOS hoping it could change that, and now i find myself crashing upon entering siege battles after some 15 rounds. Previously, the crash occurred during the battle, but now it happens during the loading screen.

I did not have any problem in the past when i was attacking, because i used catapults or rockets to break down the gate. However, now that Rohan is attacking me back and trying to retake Helms Deep, or another small fort that i've forgotten the name of, the game immediately crashes.

This, to me, indicates that it's not a problem with the units, or the castles/custom castles but rather with the siege equipment. That have been the only differentiating factor between battles that work flawlessly, and battles that crash. I think Rohan has a unique ram without a roof, based on my old playthroughs, ,but i'm not sure.

So, now i want to try and reset the unique models of the TATW Siege equipment to the default M2TW ones, hoping that would solve the problem. How would i go about this? I've been browsing through the files, but i'm not sure if i can just remove them, or if i need to edit certain .txt files as well.

TL;DR: I think the custom siege equipment models in TATW/MOS is causing my game to crash during siege battles. How can i change them to the default M2TW, and hopefully functioning, siege models?

did you try runnging the cleaner bat from MOS in you third age 3 folder ?
and by my knowledge TATW and MOS are using the same siege equipment models as MTW2 I can be wrong on this ofcourse

Yes. As i said, i have tried everything.

I'm quite sure at least Mordor have unique siege equipment, and i'm pretty sure Rohan have too. Either way, i want to try to change it, do you know how?

Update: I tried some custom battles, and i'm 99% sure it's caused by the Battering Ram. Every time i tried to start a battle with a Battering ram in it, the game crashed. Siege towers, Ladders and catapults were all fine but the Ram crashed 100% of the time.

How can i remove the TATW ram from the game?

If you want to mod/remove/edit something, best thing to do is ask about it here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...nd-Help-Thread

Regarding other crashes which happened in your vanilla TATW: Were there any reinforcements on either side of the battle which would crash?
Any Axethrowing unit present on either side of the battle?

Laptop or a desktop PC? Specifications of your system?
