NEW Fix for CTD when starting campaign (Nvidia, High End Cards)

[Martok]

I don't think it's that no one is interested, so much as it is that not a whole lot of us possess the necessary expertise to be able to mess around and find the solution (goodness knows I certainly don't, anyway ).

As for moving this thread to a more appropriate sub-forum, I'd considered moving it to the Alchemist Lab, except that it's not exactly the busiest of places and might therefore take even longer to get a response there. Perhaps the Apothecary?

button_ipnext.BIF and button_ipprev.BIF are the up and down scroll arrows for the review panel. They are already known to cause visual glitches. If you have an annoying flashing bit at the top of the screen directly above them then this is why. I had no idea they were actually causing the CTD though, so this is an important discovery.

In retrospect this can also explain the corrupted GA cup icon on the review panel and the crash I was having when clicking on constantinople after ending a turn. That was probably also caused by the review panel up/down scroll arrows appearing.

As to the in battle synchonisation issue, AFAIK this is an Nvidia video card driver related problem. I have not seen or heard of this occurring on ATI cards.

In basic terms the mouse clicks are not being translated correctly onto the 3D space. If you can downgrade to older drivers, that may solve it. In my case it did not but changing settings in the Nvidia control panel eliminated the problem entirely. You can try those settings yourself, they are in the CTDs thread in the apothecary.

I was having problems with my new computer, the campaign would crash just after start. I tried this fix and it worked perfectly.

Outstanding! It's good to see you back, by the way.

This is just too good to be true I copied the two lousy files and loaded a savegame that crashed campaign map EVERY time before, and now behold; no crashes

BTW: I have a Core 2 Duo with a ATI X1950 graphics card, and MTW VI works perfectly for me now, in campaign map and battles. Thanks peter_de. Thanks. I'll buy you a beer or three if I ever meet you LOL.

May I know your version of Catalyst and processor ? If you don't want to advertise anyone, by PM.

Cheers
