It's been a while since I had the time to play a bit of MTW but now I have. So installed MTW + VI + VI patch + XL mod for a good old early campaign with the Volga-Bulgars.
I play a few years and then I stop, so far so good. Later, I return and start MTW. I load my latest save game but the moment it should go to the map I get a CTD. This is the case with every savegame I try.
What could be the problem and what can I do about it?
Hey Peasant Phill! Good to see you around here again. ~:wave:Quote:

Good to be back.
I've started a new campaign and I got the same result.
I'll make a fresh install and see if it helps.
Good idea. Let us know whether that helped!
Unfortunatly the matter has gotten worse. Now I can't even install XL mod anymore. I've tried XL 3.0 as well as XL 3.0 with Tybirius add-ons.
Somewhere during the installation of the mod an error occurs saying something in the lines of "sound\music\XLBATTLE1.WAV (invalid data).
I'll be looking for another mod.
From what you've posted of the error, it looks like a corrupted downloaded. Try re-downloading the mod and try again.
It's rather curious that I've got the same problem with 2 different downloads (XL 3.0 and XL 3.0+Tyberius add-on) from 2 different places. the only difference I get is the corrupted wav-file.
Have you tried MTW+VI w/out the XL mod added (straight from CD w/ no downloaded files), to see if something has changed with your configuration? Maybe you upgraded video card drivers since the last time you played the game?
I've installed pike and Musket now and it runs without a problem. So although the problem hasn't been solved, It isn't as pressing anymore.
