Crash to Desktop Issues (CTDs): Possible resolutions....

[Slyk]

If anyone is having CTD issues, please try one or both of the following:

1. Change your user.script file... This will run the mod with the vanilla/base NTW sounds.

Edit your user.script file to comment out the "acw_sounds" line as shown below. You can copy/paste this if you need. The file is located in: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Napoleon\scripts

mod "acw_data.pack";
mod "acw_enviroment1.pack";
mod "acw_enviroment2.pack";
mod "acw_graphics.pack";
//mod "acw_sounds.pack";
mod "acw_models.pack";
mod "acw_BSM.pack";
mod "acw_unit_icons.pack";
mod "acw_variantmodels.pack";
mod "acw_variantmodels2.pack";


2. Run Napoleon Total War in "WindowsXP Compatibility Mode".
Go to your Control Panel, click on PROGRAMS, click on RUN PROGRAMS MADE FOR PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF WINDOWS
Navigate through the next few menus and select NTW from the list when your programs are presented. Follow the prompts. Then play the mod.


If anyone can complete one or both of these steps and report back WHICH of the two they tried and the results after several battles, I would appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

>>>>> Stability and CDT Fix October 27, 2018<<<<<<
Until 2.2 is released: Please edit your "user.script" file by "commenting out" the acw_sounds pack
Edit the user.script as follows:
now: mod "acw_sounds.pack";
after: //mod "acw_sounds.pack";

The mod will run using the default NTW sound files and the stability will vastly improve. Repeated testing has identified this pack as the cause of most issues. A new sound pack will be issued with 2.2
