There would also be a delay like when Id click on a unit I would have to wait a few seconds then I would hear them say what they are. Same thing on when I click and tell them where to go. Anyone else get this or is it just me.

A lot of people reporting this at twcenter, not noticed it myself.

1000 savegame limit...wouldn't that take up about 5GB?

Continued my game as France. Next turn there was a land battle (same as last night). Game crashed just as the remaining British forces started to retreat. (Same as last night). Wonderful.

Had that problem myself.
But I remembed that I had a sound mod installed.
I removed that, verified and problem gone.
Atleast so far.

I am now getting White Screen CTDs when I had none pre-patch. But I am playing RtI Part III - which may be bugged.

Fingers crossed as I go back to the Grand Campaign.

Works fine for me.

post land- and naval battle CTDs. wow thats a new one...

on the positive side so far i have experienced no click-on-fleet-CTDs and no corrupted savegame *fingers crossed*.

but the new post battle CTDs render the game completely unplayable now.

EDIT: got the game to progress by replaying the same naval battle three times. at last! encountered a new gem during the next naval battle: the game just froze and forced me to reboot the computer. it has done this to me during AI turns previously but never during battles. :/

I don't mind starting a new campaign, I've already played the first 50 years of GB several times due to unrecoverable CTD lol.

If the fleet CTDs are still happening, I found a few not so great solutions. Firstly, never repair your ships in a shipyard, always repair at trading ports and fishing ports. So far I've never had a fleet CTD in a non shipbuilding port yet. Secondly, if a fleet freezes in the open ocean, I solved it by sending a new ship to join the fleet. However, sometimes when I scupper the new ship, it CTD again. Sucks if you have to replace an experienced ship with a green ship, but at least you can still keep playing your campaign.

Yeah Im still crashing. But there random for me no really certain setting that makes it stop working. Done it during battles and after I auto resolved some battles. Still a few more patches to go and Im sure it will be a fun game to play and not have to worry about random crashes.

Instead of invading india, my two army stacks sit in two stacks of second rates right near the shore. I cannot move them, because if I try to click on the fleet or click on it through the list menu the game crashes

Ok, so I have some cash and I can afford to keep those idiots there forever, it is very annoying, though. Screwed up my grand strategy for good and prolonged fights in indian theater

For what ever reason I had two CTDs at the end of Naval Battles but the third time it worked.

The videos seem to work also as does the entro for the first time.

I started from a previous save game, so those should be ok too.

I didn’t take any risks with the trade fleet bug so I don’t know if that is working ok no.

I was having problems with land battles loading but that seems to be gone too.

Sorry some of the rest of you seem to be having troubles but it seems most of the problems I was having are gone.

Maybe defrag and change some settings and try again….

For all you folks that are going ape excrement over all of this, just look as your selves as alpha testers for the CA. Yes we are all part of the same team!

I used to work for the Game Industry as well as my Emmy Award winning son. And I can assure you what is going on. The Suits at Sega (not the hard working programmers and designers at theCA) said something like "Hey guys we are running short on funds on this project so let's just throw it out the door the way it is. It didn't hurt us too bad last time. There are Oddles of geeks out there lining up at their local Wal-Mart just drooling to drag this puppy home no matter how bad it is."

And you know, He was right. We love this stuff so much and it is so much a part of our lives that we would just about walk over broken glass to play. So we suffer through CTD's and bad sound and all that crap with hopes that it will get better.

And the good news is that it DOES GET BETTER. For all of us who have been her since Shogun we know and trust the great guys and gals at theCA. It is the guys with the ties that piss us off.
