what video card do you have? Because there is a massive problem with some Nvidia drivers that causes random crashes like that. Also, do random/custom battles still work?

Re: An 'Interesting' Technical Problem
There is definitely a known issue with the latest version of DirectX (10.xx I believe) and CERTAIN versions of Nvidia drivers.
many people have had very good results by rolling back their Nvidia Drivers to an earlier version (including me, on my previous machine, I had to roll back my drivers to 5.something IIRC)- if you do search on the forums for Nvidia and CTD - you will probabably find more information about it than you really wanted to know..
*grin*
Good luck

Re: An 'Interesting' Technical Problem
Well, it seems to be occuring when the screen changes from the loading screen to the campaign map (had it whilst trying to load a save just now).
I'm running and nvidia GeForce 6800 on DX9.0c.
I really don't feel like rolling my drivers back right now - for every problem that solves, it seems to create two more!
Re: An 'Interesting' Technical Problem
that was exactly the problem I had - when rolled back the drivers - boom - suddenly I could play the campaign games...

Re: An 'Interesting' Technical Problem
Zild, if you can successfully figure out this problem, let me know. I have a 6200 and it won't let me use older drivers that will work with the game.

Work-Still hate it but I appreciate having it more now.
Girlfriend - ? - looks like I am helping Nga now. Miss sex though.
Responsibilities, Too many bills to too little money
Reality - (Censored)
Kids - My son is improving a little bit each day, still far behind but I may have more kids in the future.
MTW - Kingdoms installed but...Urggg, too soon.

Conclusion, Life is worth Living now.
Re: An 'Interesting' Technical Problem
To be honest, I'm not going to try to fix it unless it becomes very bad. But if I do, and if by some miracle I succeed, I'll let you know!
I've begun thinking that another difficulty I've had may be related to this, although it's a problem I recalling having on my old laptop too...
A game of mine (2.1, Viking Era again) crashed out many many years into it. I've reloaded from the last auto-save about 5 times, but every time it'll CTD again after a few minutes. The times I remember it was whilst just bumming around the campaign map - clicking (or was it right-clicking) on Cerniu prompted at least two of the crashes!
The sholw problem of reloading from autosaves is something I recall from my old system.
Anybody experienced something similar? Think the two are related? (If so, I'll have much more reason to try fixing it!)
