[lesterthenerd]

Hola tio, q ondas lol... This mod seriously rules!

[el_dude]

definitely the best RTW mod out there

[MasterAdnin]

NOOO!!!!! This sucks. I just held a city from Gallic Tribes, the battle was around 1 hour, I won but only by a little bit, the agony of defeat was killing me until i discovered slingers deadly back attack. I won the battle with very high losses, and the enemy army completely destroyed.

Then I went to put all the stuff on the Excel Spread Sheet thingy, but then I went back to SPQR to save the game, but it CTD'd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SOOO PISSED, PISSED BEYOND BELIEF!!!! I started the battle at 7:17 and it ended at 8:00, i'm like crying now

Salaam,

Yeah I get CTD's all the time, they are very frustrating. For sieges, the CTD the most, so I almost always wait out the siege until they die or sally out at us. If you have one legion besieging and another right behind it as reinforcements, they often wont even sally out because the odds are too much in your favour. So you wait 8 turns outside the city and then it falls. Roman patience I'd say, camping there for 2 years..

[el_dude]

wait are you guys getting more CTDs than in 6.2 (i haven't tried out 6.3 yet)?

[lt1956]

Only Garner is claiming that. Personally there is no logical reason for battlefield CTDs being more in 6.3 than 6.2. I think its his video card as I had to get a special fan to help with CTDs with RTW when I had my X800XT PE.

Well Im thinking that I had more CTDs because the battles were longer. So there was a bigger straight of load on the card. I will try turning the rest of my settings down to minimum (except res and unit size) and see what happens.

Curious...I have an X800XL...over a year old...it's run RTW with SPQR fine...how does that stack with the X800XT PE? (Presuming that's another Ati card, I won't pretend to know much about gfx cards)

[lesterthenerd]

Its there graphic settings. They r set too high so thats why they are crashing. I was running on all high and crashed quite a few times but ever since i lowered them i hardly ever get a CTD.

[Konig]

i have a 3-year old ATI 850XT. It's crashed only once so far, though it's still early in my campaign.

[Garbarsardar]

I used to get a CTD every three battles in SPQR. I disabled the Autosave and I never did quicksave.

Don't ask me why, but that did it. I never had a CTD in 6.3...

The same here and since I upgraded my VC to gt7900 (256mb) I can play SPQR with most settings High and low AA with no CTDs at all... I also have the Excel killsheet active in the background and I keep swapping applications with no problems at all I play SPQR 6.3 with no lags and frequent reinforcements (8-10k)

[Garnier]

Im getting a free X1900 XT 512 mb, will that perhaps help with stability? I know its still ATI... but its a handmedown.

And my campaign is stuck at this one battle against macedon.. it crashes every time they attack any of my armies, in the middle of the battle. This is with all settings lowest except resolution and unit size.

[MasterAdnin]

I was playing for about two hours previous to the battle, and I had around four five battles before, and I know it's not the video settings, but I was just posting how pissed I was.

Its hard to say on cards, it could be that certain batches are bad or defective. I do know alot of people had issues with RTW/SPQR with ATI cards and yet a few had no problems at all. I personally did and even had my card die! Which I havent had happen in a long while.

Maybe the X1900 will be better just try it and see. On the ctd it sounds like a corrupted saved can you continue without fighting a battle and then save again? Also stay away from QuickSaves they can cause CTD issues or corrupted Saves.

We have to face the Facts RTW is Buggy, hence the reason they have no units over 240 men. Increase the size and you have instant CTDs Since SPQR has HUGE and I mean HIGE battles it could trigger issues on the older cards, heck my 7800GS still gets a little lag with the game on Huge battles or Sieges. And I Dont use AA.

Basically to PLAY spqr with Ultimate graphics and speed I would say you need the top of the line Vcard and a Very power CPU. But I get along with what I have. ;-)

I have got past it by auto-resolving. I have been forced to autoresolve about 10 battles so far after fighting them several times with crashes at some point during them.

The thing I wonder at is that I used to play SPQR a lot, with huge battles, on higher settings than what I have now, and it almost never crashed.. Its strange.

[lt1956]

Card could be going, Mine did the same thing before it crapped out. I think ATI had a defective model with the X800 series.

[Garnier]

Its a good thing Im getting the 1900 in three weeks then isnt it... lol

At least I can still play FH and EW. And NIR.. lol
