Possible CTD Source

I know this is my first post so I thought I would make myself useful. I've followed EB since around the beginning of 05 and never joined cause I didn't have much time. Anyway, I thought that posting this occurence of my CTD might help the team.

I've done it about 7 times now, and the crash is guaranteed to occur. I'm playing Epeiros and I got a message that my faction heir, I forget his name (Ptolemai?), the son of Phyrros, has a chance to compete in the olympics. Now, I don't want to hurt his stats by competing and falling on my face so I move him out of the town. The moment I hit the end turn button, theres a crash. It never made it the the ai movements.

So I try again. I move him farther away, then in the trees, then just one tile out of the town... always a CTD. Finally I try it a couple times just leaving him in the town and it doesn't crash either time.

I hope that this helps someone who can fix the problems. I can do more tests if anyone wants as well.

Hmm, being in or out of a settlement shouldn't have any effect on the Olympics, unless the general is under siege. Once you get the message that your general's a competitor, it's just a matter of waiting for the results next turn. What happens on the next turn when it doesn't crash? Is he a failure, or does he succeed? Do you get a message?

Could you zip up the savegame and send it to me?

If I leave him in the settlement he always fails miserably. He is in the Italian peninsula, in Rhegion I believe.

I'll see if I can get it to you soon Malrubius.
Edit: I think I did it correctly and sent it to you, tell me if it works.
