CTD after making more factions playable

**MiniKiller** · 09-29-2005, 04:58

Ok for BI I went into the folder and made the other non playable factions palyable. loaded up bi went to campaign select. selected a few of the non-playable factions by ca (not actually entering the camapign just clickin on their shield icon) then I clicked on one (whom is there from the start, they have one province) and I got a CTD. 3 time snow. neideas as to why? thanks

Some of the factions doesn't exist when the game starts so thats one reason.
Only celts and berbers work at the moment.

Got ya. Ya I figured that might have been a reason BUT the faction shield I am selecting during the CTD is a faction who starts with one province. Cant think of the name but they are a Blue faction I belive it begins with an R?? They are near the ERE and the goths as well as the huns horde.

If you have patched to 1.3, go back into the regular RTW descr_strat and make the nonplayable factions playable and you will see that causes a CTD also. Impossible to play as Macedon or Thrace (for now) in RTW 1.3. But unlockable factions work just fine.

I guess when they said "nonplayable" they really meant it...

That´s definitely not good, especially if -as I suppose - you have to install the 1.3 patch when installing BI. And for the development of new mods that´s a downright catastrophe, if the non-playable factions are hardcoded now.

He's talking about the Roxolani in the BI campagin. Go back and check the alterations if you accedentally chopped a letter off of the faction name it would cause the CTD.

It must be possible to play them somehow; I distinctly remember one of the FAQs mentioning releasing a savegame to allow people to play as the Romano-British, one of the emerging factions.
Edit: bah! What on earth made me say Anglo-Saxons?

I have the same problem but it not work for me!!!!!!!!

That was actually the solution to my problem. I'm thinking of playing a Pontus campaign.

I think that maybe someone should start a thread about this issue and some general trouble shooting techniques. I'm probably not the only one with RTW and a version that requires you to put in a description to the campaign to keep it from CTD.

Come to think of it, how does one get the right to post new topics? I've wanted to post a few topics in the past that I thought might be helpful to the community, but I can't. Is this a problem with my profile?
