CTD, 180 BC

EDIT: Crash bypassed.


Hello!

I have had a rather long and very fun and intensive game as Rome. I'm afraid I hit a wall though.

* Which version are you playing? EB 1.0 with BI-EXE. It crashes with RTW 1.5 too

* Do you have any unofficial mods installed? Yes, TWFanatics First Cohort mod, chocolate version.

* Have you applied all the permanent fixes for 1.0? Yes. All the other ones too.

* Does it still crash if you do not enable the background script? Yes.

* Have you tried it 3 times or more, with consistent crashes? Yes.

It crashes just after I hit the next turn button, without the turn passing to any other faction, or so it seems. I have tried cancelling all structures due for the next turn, but it still crashes.

I have had about five or so other crashes during the game so far, but none of them have been consistent.
Stupidly enough, I don't have any saves to revert too. I guess I have to think about that in the future.

Thanks for your report :2thumbsup:.

Looking at it again... I'm not familiar with the first cohort mod, but fear I can't investigate as it's probably not savegame compatible with the regular EB.

I believe it is fully save game compatible. Either way, I installed the mod long after I had started the campaign.

-Cohortes Evocata defense skill and morale increased +1
-Cohortes Praetoriana and Cohortes Evocata pilum attack reduced -1
-Elephants balanced and improved.
-Chariots balanced and improved.
-Macedonian phalanxes: -2 spear attack, -1 sword attack, -3 armor, + 1 defense skill, +1 shield defense.
-Classical (Hoplite) phalanxes: -2 spear attack, -1 armor, + 3 shield defense, +2 charge bonus; given short_pike attribute; given spear attribute
-Gaesatae and Tindanotae armor reduced from 5 to 3.
I expect savegame compatible.

-Prima Cohortes Reformata and Prima Cohortes Imperatoria added. Aquilifers added as officers in the First Cohort.
-Praetorian cavalry removed
I expect savegame incompatible

You may very well be right.

But if so, then the savegame I posted should not be effected since I installed the mod after I had started the campaign?

Anyway, thanks for taking your time with this. I was hoping that it could perhaps be fixed, but I guess it's better to just forget about it. I will save at intervals next time.

Thanks for a great mod.

I'll run it sometime though, but it's going to be pretty far down the (long!) list.

I'd suggest you disable autosave and see if it still crashes. This would provide us with a potentially useful piece of information.

Success!

I did disable autosave, but when I loaded up the game I noticed something else. I had recently sacked Vindobona and left the city. It was at 0% order, and I remembered reading somewhere that disorderly cities could cause crashes. Anyway, I found a diplomat and gave the city away. After that it worked fine.

I have played about 10 turns without any problems, so I consider the problem solved. I'll turn on the autosave function again and see if it will work. Surely, it must have been the city?

Still a rebellion CTD, huh? At least they're getting rare.
