CK+Deus Vult crashing

[luitzen]

I bought CK complete and it works correctly until I install Deus Vult. When I start a game (e.g. Hastings with Navarra), it crashes every time during loading. When you press start game, the screen turns black and the music stops playing after a while. If you go back to your Desktop (ALT-TAB) you get to see a small window titled 'Fatal Error!' and something about an unhandled exception detected.

I found this in exceptions.log:

Try the 2.1 beta patch from the forum. It resolves many crash errors.

I thought I mentioned it, but it also happens with 2.1 beta. Only CK without Deus Vult and 2.1 correctly works.

See if this solves the problem

- Rename your the avi-folder to something else

- Set colour depth to 16 bit

Changing colour depth did not work, renaming the avi-folder solved the problem. Thanks.

This caused another problem: my units don't appear when I mobilize them and I can't control them.

You mean troops of your vassals ? Or troops in your demesne ? Or are you a vassal and did your liege ask for your troops ? Or did you call for a grand mobilisation ?

Now I think about it, I think it was another bug (maybe temporary, I'll try it again). When I clicked on my troops in my provinces (playing with Nubia) they were mobilized, but I couldn't see them or control them. Now I think about it: earlier on there was no problem, so I'll try to reload the game.

Thanks a bloody million, renaming the avi- folder did it for me too. Kiss kiss kiss
