  • Europa Universalis: Rome
Whenever I try to load a saved game the game will freeze as soon as it has loaded.
Can anybody help?
 
Let's move this to tech support.

Have you tried with multiple save games or just one? You may have a corrupted file with that particular save.
 
Have you applied the 1.3 patch?

Please run DXDIAG, Save All Info, and post dxdiag.txt here (first delete everything after the Sound Devices section so it will fit). Also post your Rome/settings.txt and Rome/logs/system.log files. Note that if you use Vista and have installed the game in the suggested folder c:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Rome\, the active versions of these last two files will have been redirected by Vista to a non-system directory, like c:\users\[name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Rome\. You may have to search your C: drive for them.
 
I have tried multiple save games and I have 1.3 installed and I also tried reinstalling nothing helped.
 
I'd still like to see those 3 files I asked for please.

these are the files from user directory and I will update my video driver and get back to you to tell whether it worked or not.
 
Does it say 1.3 when you start up? That date is wrong for 1.3, I'm pretty sure ...
