Game crashes on very first screen {the opening credits} .

It pops up a microsoft error message that blames the : ModName Empire.exe and notes it is indeed version 1.5 .

I was playing it without problem less than 20 hours ago , haven't downloaded anything {other than the steam auto download} nor changed anything in the game or on the computer .

The only mod is Darthmod and whilst I'm not the only one getting this crash there , apparantly some are getting it on vanilla too link .
I'm pretty damned annoyed .

Edit : when I looked through some of the Microsoft error message , it did mention my system being NT which is rubbish given it is XP and every other application that tells you what my O.S. is lists it as XP .
Unless it was refering to something else . I can't imagine how C/A could have borked things so bad my O.S. forgets what it is , but it was so odd I thought I should mention it .
I did check and the game does not run in compatability mode , so it isn't that .

I'm also getting a crash on the opening credits screen; everything ran perfectly yesterday in 1.4; today, game crashes on startup. Woooo!

The text is still fuzzy/blurry.

- Strategic map scrolling still choppy: strategic map scrolling is still as choppy as it was before 1.3. It was fixed in 1.3, but choppiness crawled back in 1.4. Also, the strat map frequently becomes "paralized" for a minute or two when a fleet is selected. Same behavior was observed pre-1.3. It was fixed in 1.3, and reappeared with 1.4.

- Weird calculation for the auto-calc battle odds. I noticed it when I was facing a depleted gendarmerie unit with half a stack of decent troops. The auto-calc odds displayed were in AI's favor. For the heck of it, I autoresolved and won by a huge margin with almost no troops lost. From that point, I started to pay attention to the odd's meter. It's weird in 1.5. Frequently, it would show advantage for the AI, when the real odds favor the player (as suggested by the autoresolve results too). Maybe the display is reversed by mistake. The player's odds are shown on the AI's side and vice versa.

In my first 1.5 battle my almost full stack army of Poles was intercepted by 2 units of Crimean cossacks standing on the bridge on the way to their capital. Unusual tactic I thought. Even more unusual was the fact that the river I had to cross to annihilate them was black - it looked more like a river of crude oil or something. And it didn't have a bridge despite the province having a road and a visible bridge on the strat map.

I am looking for some help, because I faced a bug that ticks me off. Always when I fight an naval battle directly and I nearly have won it because there is only one enemy vessle left and under fire, ETW crashes, when I use the PAUSE buttom. In most cases I can finish the battle, but a graphic bug shows me some kind of an "double pointer" and the game is not scrollig softly, when I go over the map. Maybe the same time, in other cases a few ticks later, the crash happens. Some times I am unable to load the game or at least start a new game.
Maybe someone can help me? I have no idea about the reasons. I am using Windows 7 and an ATI Radeon HD 5800 and 6 GB RAM

There are areas of the game that are very intensive and not exactly optimized.

I have always assumed that it was a RAM problem. The game does have an automatic reporting system for any crashes but I don’t know that they are still patching it.

I have at times run into the same issue. The best thing I can tell you is to always save before battles, both before deciding to attack and at the battle screen. That way if you keep getting the crash you can go back and not fight at that exact spot.

There was also a boarding button bug that could cause a crash. I don’t know that it was ever fixed in all situations.

Thank you for your quick reply Fisherking. The support of the game is realy rare an looks to be stopped after patch 1.6. This really sucks, because the game has a lot of potential, still running a great epoch... That boardin bug is also well known and still around.
