How to maximise the stability of your 1.1 game

[Skandinav]

-Does Alt+Tab-ing out of the game a lot affect stability? I use this a lot to get screenshots, particularly during battles.

In the unpatched ( and early patched ) version of RTW you were bound to crash when returning to the game from the desktop, this has been greatly improved on since but I think it is still likely to happen, at least I have had a few such occurances when playing EB on RTW.exe and BI.exe, but I believe the rumour that Alex.exe are more stable in this regard to be true, at least I haven´t had a single case of Alt+Tab instability with that exe.

Edit: But why, sir, if I may ask, do you not use Fraps or something similar for screenshots ? It is just F10 or whatever key you assign it to, to take screenshots, then it stores them all in a folder also predesignated by you and in the file-type and quality of your wish.

Hi all,
How do I disable autosave? I edited preferences.txt and set autosave to false, but it still autosaves before and after battles. Very annoying, because inevitably after a large battle (usually after I win a heroic victory) EB crashes -- I have a suspicion that the autosave might be the problem.

Is turning it off save-game compatible?
