Freezing

[Lord Reid of Britannica]

How often (or not at all) does the game freeze on you? I know there is a problem involving the game and ATI graphics cards, but i can barely get into a campaign anymore without it freezing and me having to force restart my computer and restart a campaign, its making me lose my love for the game...

Well, if you have asked few days ago I would say none, but I got my first freeze yesterday, ctrl-alt-del got me out after few tries It probably was game mechanics glitch, because I issued command to unit which was still dropping ram.

My game doesn't freeze, but it does crash to desktop with some frequency. The crashes typically occur right after battles, especially large battles, which makes this all the more annoying. =(

Still a good game though.

I have this problem too, typically during battles with 3 or more large armies. I tried turning my settings down but it still happens sometimes, and whats funny is I used to have Medieval 2 TW and this never happened there. Anything I can do to fix this?

It freezes then crashes to desktop is what I meant to say

Mine never freezes but it does ctd after battles occaisionly. Of course I'm playing a mod. It doesn't do it on the regular game so much.

I'm having the same problem with an ATI Radeon 5750. Sometimes the game runs for 30 mins, sometimes 5...

Thought it had something to do with the current problems with the ATI cards:

I thought this was usually because of that memory leakage problem? If so, it can easily be resolved by restarting RTW every couple of hours.

I've not had a problem with the memory leak since I went to Win7 64bit with 6Gb memory (unsurprisingly).
I've also had not one problem with my lowly HD4870.

I'm running:
Asus P5QPro Turbo
C2D E7500 @ 4.0Ghz
6Gb PC-8500 Ram
Powercolor 4870 512Mb

I dual boot XP 32bit and Win7 64bit and find it performs much better in Win7.

I used to have a problem with it crashing very regularly in XP but a new HD sorted that out.
