EB crash to desktop on end turn

**arrtuu** · 03-27-2008, 19:37

hi,
on the beginning everything was ok. it was fresh install of rome 1.5, and all fixes (vista 32bit). i play as arverni, now is about 180 bc.
on europe teritory i had no problems. all crashes has started in spain (fights against carthage),then in italy and now on sicilia i get CTD every second turn. sometimes after battles, sometimes when nothing happens on the end of the turn. i used temporary fixes but nothing helps. i have to start a game (sometimes twice) again from last save and is ok, or i resolving battle automatic. but it makes me crazy, the same battle i win manually, im loosing by automatic fight... and it change the whole plan of game.

maybe is something i can do for normal game?

You can use auto_win to control the outcome of autoresolve when you know you're going to win.

good tip

thanx. but...
i found on other forum that i should press "~" and then command. but i cant get chat window by pressing ~ ? so i cant write anything :( could you tell me, maybe i should change something in preferences.txt ???

It's not necessarily ~ (tilde). On my own keyboard it's | (often called "pipe"). Your best bet is the key directly below Esc, IE to the left of 1.

"Your best bet is the key directly below Esc, IE to the left of 1"- on my keyboard it is tilde sign. but it doesnt work. also any other button :( thats why i ask about preferences.txt (maybe something there is change, on another text file) ? i have no idea.

Hmm... There have been others with the same problem, but I can't remember what was the solution, if they found one. Perhaps if you install a Norwegian keyboard layout like mine? (Choose the Bokmål one, not Nynorsk).

OK :)
ive changed keyborard to norwegian like you said, but nothing helped. then ive got an idea, that i use since years keyboard FPSstyle in game and i have "pause" in battle with "~" button

now i can use chat window . thanx for advices.

one question more here, i found a mini CityMod for EB 1.0.
is it really compatible with EB? and useful ?

That's Marcus' mod. It limits the growth of most cities, so that not every settlement can grow to a huge city. I believe he's updated it for each version, yes. This is not the place for unofficial mods though.

i don want waste main thread, so i will ask here again.
i tested force diplomacy mod, was ok. but i think i couldnt use EB scripts. normally i make copies of all changing files. but now, when i click on city, advisor pop up but "show me how" is grey.
i have 2 files in "show me how" folder (EBBS_SCRIPT and genericScript). and im not sure, should be something more (maybe accidentally i missed something)??

EDIT:
problem resolved. i dont know how, but at this moment works.
