RTR8 4.0 Bugs/Feedback Thread

[CanOmer]

When will new update come? Because I get CTD almost every turn.
Will the new update be compatible with old saves?

Edit: Damn after-battle-CTDs..

[ahowl11]

Hopefully soon, but I think a lot of the CTDs are RTW related as I am getting them to every now and then.

Two things/questions have come up...

- Only two turns/year?
- I am playing with steam version/Alex and i can't recruit roman generals, bug or feature?

CanOmer- Try disabling auto save. If you watch Saul Tyres LP he hasnt experienced any crashes and he has disabled auto save.

Btw it's not that we didn't think of it or consider it. 4tpy was actually in all the way until the last few weeks, when we started focusing on getting realistic AI expansion. For a grand campaign map like this, factions expand too fast for 4tpy to look realistic relative to the year count. While 4tpy does add some roleplaying value, it was decided that better syncing up of expansion rates with the year is more important.

Ok

Edit: I get CTD on turn phase without any error message. Should I reinstall the game?

[ahowl11]

I think so.. I’m not sure what’s causing all of these CTDs.. we did extensive testing before release and had hardly any.. which is why we released lol

Hello laddie, are you using steam or discs?

[CanOmer]

Non steam

@CanOmer: Have you installed outside of Program Files / Program files x86? I hear that installing outside of these locations is recommended. I have installed in a custom made folder and haven't experienced problems.

Ahowl11: Apologies to query further, but, I am aiming to start a long campaign soon and was wondering if I should hold off for 4.0.2? Are the changes there-in significant? Thank you :-)

We should be releasing by Sunday the 3rd. I’m not sure if it’ll be compatible, so play at your own risk.

Ahowl11: Thank you for the answer. I shall take that time to consider my faction.

I know ahowl said about me disabling autosave but that in itself does not stop the script from being corrupted, using it does.....I only disable to ensure I don't forget and go ahead and use it...reinstall by all means it may well help

I just wanted you and anyone else to know that I apologize for not releasing sooner. Right now we are fixing CTD's that were plaguing us and players in 4.0.1.. I just compiled the patch and we are going to test the public version and make sure everything is okay before we release it. I rather you all get a nice, completed project than something that has a bunch of bugs and glitches!

[charlieh]

@ahowl11: Thank you for the update. I appreciate the attention to detail and am content to wait until the team feels it is ready to release.

Hello
I have installed RTR to my steam version of Alex today, I am able to start a campaign but I get an CTD after a few seconds, clicking on a city usually does it. I wonder whether there are any settings I should try. In the meantime, I will uninstall Alex and try again. Any suggestions very welcome.

[joethepro36]

Just installed it again after a break from RTR. First played the mod waaaaay back in the day.

Seems really good but got a crash very early on and just loading back off a battle. Given the feedback of others and the plans to release another version I will hold off until 4.0.2 for a proper game. Music and aesthetics are nice btw. Also just checked and saw I had a private message asking me to test beta versions last year, I don't come here often heh. Might be happy to test after I get a solid run through of 4.0.2.

Seriously wtf?

[pierreloup71]

alright i find out the problem lol, i was using Rome Total Realism platinum last time i played RTW Alexander and for launching the game on steam we have to add a ''set launch option'' and the platinum edition ''set launch option'' was still there even after reinstalling RTW Alexander...
After removing the set launch option of the platinum edition, now RTR is working fine!
Problem Solved!
