Everytime I reach mid 1942 as US single player game, CTD. I restart, save the game, reload and within 30 seconds, CTD. Renamed avi to avi-bak. Have re applied the 1.03 SP. All to no avail. This happens in multi as well but we can get past it if the person who does not CTD saves the game and sends save game to person who did CTD.

In fact in mp games the only way we have been able to start the game is if we ftp the lastest save game to each person playing. If we attempt to load via mp connection, transfer fails everytime. We have cleared out all saves to make sure no savegame name conflict is happening.

So, barely can we finish a game MP and it seems impossible for me to finish a game single player. This is such a shame as I see huge possibility. Shame on me for holding on to the game past any possible return time.

Emailed strategy first tech support five times over a thirty day period and NO response at all. At least I could expect to call a phone number and get asked for credit card number before I would recieve tech support Heh.

Oh well, if anyone has any ideas, sure would love to hear them and if anyone needs I have the save game compressed and set aside. Would dearly love to finally finish a complete game. Came close as SU with no CTD's.

Sorry for the book, just VERY frustrated. So frustrated I am wasting my time typing key words in caps as if it really means anything :)

Thanks all,

JD
 
It is a much better bet to post problems here since SF actually asks me the tech support questions they have trouble with. :)

It sounds like you are running up agaist the US election bug. I think there is a work around for this listed in the bug forum sticky thread labeled "do it your self bug fixes" should be near the end of that thread.
 
In your specs you say you are playing 1.02 NA then later 1.03 SP patch. So are you really on 1.03 NA patch?
Did you start the game under 1.02? and continue it under 1.03?
 
And you get this CTD even with a new game that was started under 1.03?
 
I did get random CTD's from 1.02 but with 1.03 I am getting constant CTD's when I join the war in 1942 as US. Currently I am fighting in Spain. Noticed a few variations to CTD. If I battle nationalist Spanish troops in Gibraltor, CTD. If i bypass those troops the CTD does not happen. So, took all of spain, went to annex and CTD. Reloaded, did not annex spain and no ctd. Gibraltor had 1 Spanish division that moved out and I moved in, no CTD. Have taken most of France back and then CTD. My autosave CTD as soon as it loads. So, thought I had it licked by not fighting in Gibraltor but it has come back to haunt me. I have troops in most of France and have taken most of Italy, building up for push into Germany and now constant CTD.
 
If it is consistent and repeatable it should go in the bug forum. Please post a thread over there alerting them to the situation.
 
CTD = Crash to desk top.
