How often do you get CTD?

**tapanojum** · 06-19-2008, 03:37

Just wondering how common is it to get CTD? In 2 games, I get tons at around 240-245bc which is why I can never complete a faction. I started a new game as Hayasdan and just got my first CTD at 264bc, I'm scared the same will happen. Even though all my fixes are applied.

Just wondering if this is common or should I be worried?

Since I've installed vers 1.1, which has been about 15 to 20 hours of play, I have had no CTD's. When I used 1.0 I had a CTD on average of every 5 to 6 hours of play.

Hmmm, I hit 260bc with 2 CTD's so far. One after during the loading screen of post-battle, and one towards the end of a battle =-/

Mhh, actually i stop my roman siege of iberia in around 250bc because ever second great battle caused a ctd (after winning - very sad).

now i´m playing as getai, also around 250bc, and i´ve got no ctd since the beginning.
probably the "barbarus flavoir", hehe

I have the same problem too. I get CTDs when battles are over. Every third of fourth battle crashes. So I save games a lot! Do you have any ideas why?

I tended to get one every fifth or sixth battle on the AI turn, every other where I'd won a Heroic Victory. CTDs for other reasons were very rare. I had no more than about 10 in the 550+ turns I played. Of course the game was killed by one in the end at 133BC.

I have version 1.1 I have had more Crashes than a vehicle safety test lab. Alot were after battles, before battles, engaging in subterfuge, ending turns ( due to riots and revolts). But I have also been trying to solve this problem, at first I thought it was because I had total realism installed, so i reinstalled the game, no luck, (also the game is installed to the rome folder (might be problem)), it might be my less than quality graphics card, I also have vista don't know if that is a problem. RAM and processor isn't a problem.

After battle crashes are easy to avoid - wait 10-15 seconds after getting the summary before clicking to finish. Mine have stopped altogether as a result of that.

It's supposed to be a subfolder of the main RTW folder. Nothing wrong there.

Are you using the newest optimised script? I ask because it's relatively untested, and I personally found it seemed to encourage the existing client ruler/FM clone bug.

I deleted the client ruler section from the standard (but fixed) script and I've not had a single repeatable CTD. The odd one here and there for seemingly no reason, but to date I've still had less than 5 and I'm at 225BC in my game.

My computer is as follows:

AMD Athlon 64 4000
2 gigs of PNY Ultima RAM
NVidia (PNY) 6800 GS
ECS KVN1 (Light) Motherboard

I've had 2-3 CTDS (by the way, what does this stand for?) while playing. It was happening when I hit end turn. I tried making different decisions in terms of building structures and moving units, but nothing helped. I rebooted my computer and then hit end turn without enabling the script or issuing any orders. This solved the problem.

My OS image is 2+ years old, and I've installed various Rome mods over the past two years. My OS is stable, but I could use a re-image, but I just hate doing it.

No CTD in 1.1 <knocks on head - erm, wood>
I had 2 in 1.0, both around battles. First was when a Ptoly full stack attacked a badly depleted (2 men left) unit of nubians I had sent ahead as scouts. I guess the program tried to calculate the odds and couldn't count that high.
Other one was post-battle.

i rarely got CTD's and I'm pretty sure it wasn't EB's fault, I got CTD's at the same rate i usually get CTD's (and yes I know, I should reinstall my windows :P )
