[Strike For The South]

So here I am playing with Scippi in vinalla 1.6 and around 248bce winter turn I save and go to the grocery store with my mum. When I come back I try to load and get a CTD I did the same with the brutti and I got another CTD.

Firstly, determine if it's just that save file or if rtw's stuffed.
Load an older save - does it work? If yes, it's a problem with a save and you might have to forget it.

Otherwise, well, update everything and pray :)

Uninstall click the repair option, with your BI CD then reinstall the 1.6 patch. Since you said it was vanilla(unmodded), this procedure should have no effect on your saved games

Just to make sure. You said 1.6 wich is BI only, if you installed this patch for RTW only it may not work correctly. Although I think the patch would say upon install that it is incompatable.
