When I load a saved game, it crashes shortly thereafter. It doesn't matter how many times I try to load the game. I try playing in windowed mode, turning the sound off, updating my drivers, and so on, yet no change in results.
Perhaps you could upload your saves to a file hosting site and post a link here, and someone else could try them. That will show whether it's your saves or your Rome installation that's the problem.
Well, I tried my saved game on another computer of mine. It's a better machine, yet the saved game still crashes. I'm leaning towards the game and not the computer being the culprit.
