That's odd. STW is the same as MTW, I'm not sure why it would crash like that. You can CTRL+ALT+DEL, hold in the power button, or hard reset to get out of such a situation. Pulling out the power lead is a bad idea. Such a freeze up is usually down to a hardware issue.

I've abandoned M2TW and RTW (once again).

I'm truly lamenting not being able to play MTW VI - as I love the era, the muslim factions and the Crusading idea.

The good news : Shogun WE does work and I'm getting back into it...in a big way.

Welcome back to MTW/STW Tony.

before i uninstall, STW, i think i may start it up one more time and see if it happens again. it was just frustrating last night because i'd been playing for about 3 hours when i tried to save the game.

maybe it was just a one time thing. i tried ctrl, alt, delete several times but it still wouldn't do anything. there was a gold arrow highlighting the "save game" button but i could move my mouse cursor around on the frozen screen. i hated to pull the plug but i couldn't think of any other way to get out of it.

Rather than pulling the plug, try pushing the reset button on the front of the PC. Also you can try holding down the power button until it powers off. There is usually a 4 second delay.

If it crashes again then make a new thread in the apothecary forum. Be sure to post your system specs and as much info about the crash as possible.

I don't need BI for EB!?

Yippeee! I'm going to load the whole thing up ASAP; I would love to see all the goodness that RTW promises finally work :D

Thanks again Glenn

You only need BI for mods that are specifically for BI. EB is for the main RTW campaign and thus only requires RTW v1.5.

**gollum** · 03-29-2009, 23:57

You can however play EB with the more advanced version of BI, using the BI exe v1.6, that has several advantages in terms of AI performance over RTW v1.5.

Indeed gollum, I've read about it but could never find the time to look into it.

Now back on topic if you please gentlemen.

thanks for the tips. i'd really like to be able to play a STW campaign but i was afraid that i'd never be able to save my progress with it freezing up like that.

You may not be able to get it to work. The old games have not been updated to run on newer computers. The STW/MI in the Total Wars Eras Collection is 8 years old.
