Yarrrrrr

Finally got myself a new computer worthy of EB...

Except it CTD's whenever I try and play a campaign. It goes through the loading screen, finishes loading...and then CTD. Had the patch, and the hotfix for the patch.

The previous time I did this, it CTW on about my 10th turn....no matter what I did. I thought I had the hotfix working there, but maybe not.

All i know is that my computer seems not to like games. And yes, it has more than enough specs for it.

Going to try redownloading it and trying again....what's the best way to install the hotfix? I wonder if that's the problem.

What hotfix? There is no hotfix for 0.81aV2. There are however some permanent CTD fixes. Your build is likely partly downgraded, causing all sorts of trouble.
