    Default How often do you encounter CTDs

    I hope it is ok for me to make this poll here - it's not to knock EB, but just out of curiosity.

    I love this mod, but have had to put it to one side because I get so many CTDs. They usually happen once or more per session (3 hours or so). They often happen after a big battle. And they can be worked around - e.g. putting scripting off, autoresolve, going back to an older save. Sometimes they seem non-reproducible: CTD once, reload and do exactly the same thing but no CTD. Sometimes I have to re-load and re-fight three or more times.[1]

    However, reading the forums here I get the impression that my experience is not uniform among players of the beta and probably not even typical, so I'd like to know the results of this poll.

    [1]For what it's worth, my computer is a fairly modern one (year old or so) and meets the Morrowind Oblivion minimum specs.

    Surprisly not many, just one as pontus and another as Macedon in 8 or so hours of game play.

    Occaisionally. Since fixing the Olympics and Apocalypse bugs, though, they seem to have mostly disappeared.

    Default Re: How often do you encounter CTDs

    Interesting to see the variety of experience with respect to CTDs. I wonder what might explain it?

    Different factions? (I've only played Rome).

    Different computer hardware?

    Different game settings?

    I'd be interested to know if the EB team have drawn any conclusions - or even just hypotheses - about the variation?

    It may have to do with the amount of fixes the user has applied to his game. I believe I have included all the fixed issues so far and I have had almost no crashes since then. I don't seem to encounter the merging armies crash or the multiple battles/armies/turn crash much, if at all. Yet other people have troubles with those a lot it seems.

    Rarely. And those I had I could not reproduce, and I could carry on my campaign normally.

    I had some with the Olympics ... but after the fix I only had one. Granted, I did not play for long after that.

    They are in various threads in the Bug reports and Technical Help ... don't have their precise locations, but they float around.

    I read about the Olympics bug, but the thing is, my family members always lose
    Is that part of the bug?

    The bug is if you win the Olympics, you get a CTD. Between my initial testing and the open beta, I had to add some things and didn't test them.

    Ah! the Generals! they are numerous, but not good for much (especially if they're Languorous)!
