    It can be a vanilla issue. Did you attempt to reload the battle after the first CTD and if so did it also crash?

    yeah.. i also think this is vanilla issue too.

    I think Rome total war 1 can't handle as much as i can.[with unlimited armies on field]

    like rome2 can't handle 70000 men in the battle

    It is not a bug as such. It is due to the bow string animation.

    During the covid lockdown I played countless battles with both CD and Steam version, with both 4gb patch and without, with all the possible fixes and workarounds and nvidia optimizations I've found on the internet. The conclusion is that there's nothing sure we can do, a solution that can work for someone with a certain computer won't work for someone else. The same solution might work in a battle and not work the following.

    Now, reports in that thread I linked are outdated, so what I write here kinda "overwrites" it.

    Attached you find the results of a battle I've just played. 15,937 men on the battlefield (3 roman armies vs 3 alemanni), I think it's the biggest battle I've ever played with RTW in 15 years without getting a CTD. Yesterday I played a much smaller battle with around 9,000 men (1 roman army vs 2 alemanni) and no CTD.

    In the first case, I killed both Alemanni FMs but not the general and gained a clear victory (80% enemies killed). In the second case, I killed either the FM but not the general or the other way, I don't remember, and got a heroic victory (77% enemies killed).

    To give my little contribution, I attached my preferences.txt file with the actual settings I have as they seem to work quite well, so if anyone can try and confirm CTDs are less frequent it will help a lot of people.

    Other settings and practices I'm following right now are:
    -game running with these parameters: -mod:RO -show_err -nm -ne
    -4gb patch
    -AA disabled in Nvidia control panel
    -RTW running with both campaign and battle resolutions the same as my native screen
    -no compatibility option set for the BI.exe
    -wait for the music after the battle to stop before returning to the campaign (a couple of seconds after it stops, no need to wait 30 or 60 seconds)
    -a lot of .dll files in RTW folder (see attached image). I installed legacy DirectX 9 but put the dlls in the folder anyway

    Generally, I found that leaving at least an enemy general alive in multi-stack battles helps preventing CTDs. So does killing no more than 80% of the enemies, but this can be quite hard to achieve. I usually let routed enemies run away and focus on routing all the enemy before pursuing and mopping them up without killing too many. In multi-stack battles, where you don't control allied armies, this is even harder to achieve, in the second battle (the 16k carnage) I left the battle as soon as the victory message popped up.

    Hope this can help, and share your experience.

    Hey

    i´ve downloaded the mod, installed it correctly and i´ve a question to the soundmod.

    Every time when i start the game, there´s only the vanilla sound during the whole game, not the installed soundmod from RO. How can i change this?

    The soundmod does not work and vanilia music is boring.

    There is no RO soundmod at this stage. That is something I will work on and hopefully have ready for the V1.0 release.

    293 Campaign
    There is a problem with the new units legionary Superventores and praetorian Speculatores. They do not have unit cards and they caus a crash when loading battle screen.
    The crash report says:
    1.Error:File name doesn't exist: RO/data/models_unit/roman/RO_unit_speculatoresA.cas
    2.Script error in RO/data/models_unit/roman/RO_unit_speculatoresA.cas


    Also I can't recruit "late western legionaryC1" and "western legionary lanciariiC1" in Sirmium or Virminacium, I can recruit only old style units. Is this intend or?


    I can recruit legionary infantry in Berenice Libya, Cyrene, Lepcis Magna, Colonia Sittaloroum and Luguvalium I suppouse that wasn't intended?


    Bosphoran elite archers require catapult building tree which their faction doesn't have access to.


    These Bosphoran units are missing from export_descr_buildings: "bosphoran warrior", "bosphoran elite cavalry" and "bosphoran guard cavalry"

    Thanks, will fix this for the Addendum

    I think you may have not deleted your existing map.rwm file before loading your 293AD Campaign.


    Bosphoran elite archers require catapult building tree which their faction doesn't have access to.

    These Bosphoran units are missing from export_descr_buildings: "bosphoran warrior", "bosphoran elite cavalry" and "bosphoran guard cavalry"
    Thanks again. This seems to be the case for all campaigns actually. Will correct this and alter the Addendum.

    Sorry if I am being annoying, but I think I found out what is the problem with recruitment in Sirmium.
    There is a mix up in unit recruitment requirements in export_descr_buildings. So it should be: "and hidden_resource dalmatia and hidden_resource river and not resource timber and not resource textiles", this is the case with lanciarii units and old style units, but with "late western legionaryC1" you have "and hidden_resource dalmatia and hidden_resource river and not resource timber and not resource olive_oil and not resource marble" or "and hidden_resource dalmatia and hidden_resource river and not resource timber"
    For Virminacium I checked and there are no late western legionary units added in recruitment tree.
    If it would make a difference I can correct this and send the file back to you.


    I tried deleting map.rwm, but I can still recruit legionary infantry in Berenice Libya, Cyrene, Lepcis Magna, Colonia Sittaloroum, Luguvalium and even Carthago Nova. Can't figure out why.

    Okay, looks like in the last revision I deleted the hidden_resource legion which means that units can in fact be recruited in these cities. I will re-edit the files as well as fix the ones for Sirmium, plus the Bosphoran recruitment and missing RO_unit_speculatoresA.cas file and will repackage and upload this weekend.

    battle end ctd with the latest update.

    recently i re-started a new campaign as Aurelian.

    but i have battle end ctd against Alemanni & Gallic empire. [never happened before]

    usually the huge battle like 4 vs 4 or 2 vs 6 massive battles cause end battle ctd if i wipe out enemy armies.

    so i have to run a multiple test with alemanni first.

    ctd will not happen if you dont kill over 80% of enemy armies.

    The latest update would not cause this. This is an old problem for the RTW/BI.exe engine. Frustrating I know.

    I just disable one of the win10 function in the Setting.

    Setting - Xbox Game bar (on -> off)


    i recommend it to all of you who use win10.

    Do fighting night battles really prevent CTDs?
