Trapped in a never ending spiral of crashes... any help?

[ptolemyauletes]

Hi,
A game I have been playing for a long time now has suddenly become trapped in a never ending spral of crashes. I have gone back to previous saves to try to get past the date where the crashes seem to start, but it does not help. My play date has gone off twice, so I now have some generals who are negative ages, or very young. It has twice jumped back twenty or more years. Why does this happen? It never happened with Vanilla RTW.

Lastly, If I were to find a saved game file (not sure where they are) is there anyone with the skill to fix it so it stops crashing?

Thanks

Post this in bug reports and upload a save game and XS will sort it out for you.


I'd love to be more helpful but I'm a computer retard.

Thanks, but where do I find the save file?

Go to your Rome Total War folder, then into the EB folder, then the folder called Saves

Well, yes... that's what I thought... but the problem is there is no folder called 'saves' in my EB folder. Can't find it anywhere!

Found it!!!
What a nightmare!!!

Stick to this post if you want to upload your save.

Previous you may want to see the frequent issues, maybe the reason for your CTD is already mentioned there.
