CTDs

[Jacke]

I am getting sick of CTDs.

I run EB 1.2 with Jirisys' Europa Barbarorum Mega Mod Pack for EB 1.2 v1.03 on the Alex .exe on Windows Vista 32-bit on a dual processor with 4GB (Windows reports 3GB). While playing Koinon Hellenon CTDs were the usual background noise, even though I got tired of refighting some big important battles when they occurred when returning to the campaign game.

I just started a Casse campaign and the CTDs are constant. Loading saves games, exitting battles, I even have a save game that if I move in a certain way over the strategic map (just a bit north then slide west) it CTDs!

I've tried the usual suspects: waiting on the battle results screen, setting processor affinity, trying compatibility mode, even restricting running other programs. Rebooting and not running much else seems to reduce the CTDs for a while, but I'm not sure.

Any other ideas how I can cut down the CTDs?

[See below for something that significantly reduced my CTDs.]

See the [url=https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=103681]frequent issues]/url] about CTD's, this usually helps a lot.
On the other side, RomeTW-ALX.exe should be far more stable than plain Rome, maybe the used minimod has errors in it. How much RAM does your system posses?

I found something that reduced my CTDs from several CTDs/season (nearly unplayable) to several seasons/CTD (what it used to be): for the RomeTW-ALX.exe process listed in Task Manager, right-click on it and click on Virtualization to turn it off.

Following the thread [Dual processor] Crashing during or after battle? Solution Found! , I'd experimented with the solutions there and linked (except the most recent, reducing Priority) without any luck. I'd also tried another solution from this post, which changed RomeTW-ALX.exe to allow up to 3GB in its memory, but again without improvement.

Then I looked at the right-click menu in the Task Manager again and tried turning off Virtualization, despite the warning from Windows. And CTDs dropped back to happening every now and then, as they've always been.
