RTW Bugs

[Murmandamus]

Can't send multiple seige rams to attack different parts of the wall simultaneously.

I've been building 2-3 rams to get my men inside the walls faster and to surround defending units easier. But, if you tell multiple rams to attack the wall at the same time, they just stop. You have to get 1 to attack, then once it's started ramming, start the next one.

CTDed twice on attempting to open the Senate tab of the faction info dialogue.

Won't let me run at more than 1280*960 which is odd cos the demo did & I have a 9800 with a monitor that does 1600*1200@75Hz.

Now, back to a third attempt to get past the prologue

[The_678]

I just had another CTD for no reason I can think of. I was playing as Scipii and it was right in the beginning I was going to attack Syracuse but the carthaginians were already seigeing it. So I attacked them. But when I hit the button to fight the battle I CTD.

Don't know if it's a bug or just me.

I think there is a memory leak or something equally bad. I was playing a battle (about 2K troops all told) and the FPS suddenly went down to the single digits with massive stutters, completely unplayble, thinking it would fix it I turned the graphics down to the lowest that I could from the battle menu options...didnt help one bit, not even a slight increase...I had to literally lose the battle and exit the game...havent had anything like this happen in a game in years...it wasent overheating, my computer is very well ventilated. I'm afraid to even go back to my campaign. :(

Gifts from the senate do'nt appear. It will say your gift is in your capital of (unti name) it keeps referring to my capital as a unit name, I check my capital and there is no gift. The money gifts I do recieve. Gifts worked fine in the prologue but as soon as I went to the campaign I get an announcement that I got them but they are nowhere to found. My only gues is I have spies in enemy cities and I did'nt put spies in cities for the prologue

The loading screens are all messed for me. It shows the whole thing, then blacks out and just shows the loading bar.

The individual orders to grouped unit appears to be a real bug. I'm also getting a flash of a second combat results pop-up after clicking the x on the first. It hasnt caused any problems though.

My right middle finger is getting tired from right clicking and it's exacerbating my developing arthritis. Thats a bug

I think there is a memory leak or something equally bad. I was playing a battle (about 2K troops all told) and the FPS suddenly went down to the single digits with massive stutters,

I second that. I had this happen now 3 times. Common circumstances include:
a moderate to large amount of troops (at least 500 per side)
LOTS of missiles used. Typically cretan archers, but I have seen it in a battle with lots of velites and cavalry auxilia
There may have been missiles fire at some point in all three instances.


I definitely feel it is related to the missles. If a lot of them get fired, the computer slows to a crawl. It almost feels like it is still trying to track the missiles that got thrown.

I have played other massive battles without much slowdown. I think my specs are NOT the problem. Here they are for completeness ( not boasting):

Dell Pentium4 2.4 Ghz with 1 MB RAM. Nvidia 5700 Ultra with 128MB RAM (made by PNY). On board sound (no sound card). Resolution at 800X600 or 1024X728 (happened with both). Happens despite decreasing all the "extra" stuff. Win XP no patches. Graphic card drivers circa Dec '03 . I will look for new ones.

This is a real problem for me. I hope it gets patched soon
