Crashes after around 30min of playtime

Hey,

I get regularly crashes after around 30min of playtime, be it in battle or campaign, so specific action taken. All the time the game closes with an unspecified error. Problem is: no logfiles are created. The log-folder is empty. According to the instructions my settings should be correct.

Are you playing in windowed mode?

Yes, borderless window

Sounds like a memory leak; are you playing with campaign map shadows on?

Yes, I do

Turn them off - it will make a big difference to performance, and may fix this bug, too.

I was able to run the game for a much longer time now. Still it crashed in the same manner eventually.

Unfortunately, it sounds like you have insufficient memory issues.

To be honest, I have no idea how that could me. The crashes didn´t occured before 2.2

I´m running on:
i5-5200 U @ 2.20 Ghz
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA 940M
Win 10

For my understand I shouldn´t have any memory issues then. Other games run fine

Are you sure you are in windowed? It happened to me once and it turned out that the patch changed back the cfg.

It is. Borderless windowed

And what about your medieval2.preferences.cfg?

What should I look for in it? I found nothing regard windowed mode or campaign shadows.

If windowed mode is not in there, then it's probably overwriting the config for EBII, and you're not actually playing windowed.

Ok. However, I´m playing in borderless windowed. I can still switch between my monitors with any problem and reloading of the game. Just to be sure, what should I modify to make sure the settings aren´t overwriten.

Today I played for two and a half hours without a crash. Seems to be better anyways. Would be nice to trace it down anyways.

Just duplicate the lines for windowed/borderless that are in your EBII.cfg into your medieval2.preferences.cfg.

Seems to work fine so far. Thanks for your assistance.
