I've had EU2 since it came out and played it without any trouble on my old pc. However, I had to stop for various reasons about a year ago and in the mean time, got a new, better pc. I finally re-installed EU2, got the latest patch and its essentially a clean install, for all intents and purposes (made a couple of edits which I used previously like giving the scots anglo-saxon culture and d/loaded GUFSM 1.1e - a mainstream flag and shield mod, incase anyone reading doesn't realise). I started the game, made some of my alterations (which messages pause the game, etc.) and started the game. Unfortunately, after about 1 1/2 months of my 1773 Prussia game, I got a ctd - seemingly with no cause. Oh well, what are the chances of that? Off we go again. Oh dear - another ctd in march. What a rarity. Third attempt. Bugger - 2 weeks this time. I've since had a few attempts with other countries in different scenarios and still suffer from the same situation - all crashing within the first few months, all, except one, apparently without cause. I did, though, run a game without altering anything (Austria - 1700, if its needed), only OKing messages, making choices on events and accepting a peace. I ran it for a year and a half without any probs and without it looking like there would be one so a gave up on that as I was satisfied enough.
I suppose I'll have to try and few things out, see if all untouched games run ok and whether its something I'm doing which causes it to crash - what I dunno. Still if anyone has any ideas as to what could be the problem, thanks.
I might as well report that "caused" ctd now. As Sweden in 1700, I fought a naval battle with the danes pretty quickly and mid-battle a message which pauses appeared. I dealt with it and when I looked back, I noticed that whilst the noise had continued, the danish ship was off Stockholm whilst my ships were in the zone below, where I left them, both doing nothing. When I clicked on my ship it ctd'd. Probably ought to put this in the Bug Report forum but I'll stick it here as well. Thanks again for any help.
