CTD

[Need_87]

CTD about 10 years in to the game as Rome...

I had a disloyal, powerful leader (stuck in Epirus due to high-loyalty-refuse-to-split-army-my-northern-border-needs-reinforcement-but-I-have-no-money-and-these-unloyal-ba****ds-won't-split-to-board-my-half-the-size-navy), sure, It would be one thing if he started a civil war, but to crash the game, that was low...

Ok I moved this over here, can you supply any details to reproduce this crash so we can track it down?

 

[Need_87]

Ok, I'll try

I'm using patch 1.1

I think I was going to ask for a military access through macedonia, and that it crashed when I pressed diplo-button for macedonia, but I am not sure.

Ok the log isn't the problem and from the information given I am not sure. Did you use autosave and have were able to go back and reproduce the crash?

You could also try updating your video driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_169.25_whql.html

I did go back but I couldn't reproduce the crash, I only auto-save yearly so it's hard to remember what I did for a full year.

And I will try to update my video-card, I think I had some issues on this machine with EUIII (graphics getting weird), so that might be a part of the problem...

Well there migth still be rare crashes kicking about in the code, but without anyway to get to that point there is not a lot we can do about it. So if you do manage to comeup with something let me know.

 

[Need_87]

Ok sure
