**Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom** · 03-02-2006, 23:21

For me its definiteley been the Casse. I had to restart the game after an hour or so of play, every time

. Will this new patch stop all of these CTDs.

Are these unavoidable?

Sometimes the quick-save is too "close" I think - and the event that causes the CTD has already happened.

I found a couple with the Romans that have been a bit tricky, but I have been quick-saving before I end-turn and (mostly) real-saving every Spring so the most I can lose is about three turns. I haven't lost a major battle yet, but I expect it will happen eventually.

Sorry if you are already doing all this - I haven't played around with the Casse yet.

I probably should try to savemore but, the CTDs seem to happen after a certain amount of time. Dont people like stop these errors usng somekind of perfect spy script.

I'm not aware of any fancy scripts, although I use the console command "toggle_fow" to watch my neighbours and take the map screenshots for the "AI Expansion" thread? I noticed that a couple of my crashes happened immediately after the Seleukids finished their moves, but I still crashed. ;)

It'll be interesting to see this for the patch once it comes out, but the patch will put an end to most all CTDs we hope. I would like to see this after folks start playing on the patch now though.

Yea with all CTDs gone Europa Barbarorum will be, hands down , the best mod for Rome.

Actually I think it might just be my favorite mod of all time. The only other mod I can think of that iell never forget is Vampire Embrace for morrowind. It made the Vampiric experience a thopusand times better.

Keep in mind that even with the next patch, it's still an open beta. So CTDs will happen from time to time, as well as other gaps and errors. That said, it's MUCH more stable.

Well i just encountered a CTD with the carthaginians, as allot of people i hoped that the new patch would greatly reduce the number of CTD's but it only took me 15 mins of play and perhaps 8 rounds for the game to crash in worldmap mode. Normally i'd just return, save the game and press continue, but it crashes everytime i press continue. I have to say this is greatly annoying me and reduces the fun and time that i want to play EB :/.

However it needs to be said, EB is without a doubt the most complete and satisfying mod for RTW. Great job guys! But ill wait for the next patch thank you.

The purpose of releasing the Open Beta knowing that CTDs were present was so that people can help us find them. Please go through the steps we have outlined to isolate these CTDs.

If everyone simply played the mod and gave up when they ran into a CTD we will never get to the point where the CTDs are gone.

Is it weird that I haven't got an unavoidable CTD so far? I hadn't got as far as some people (I think I got to the 230s before I patched to 0.7.3), but - playing as the Romani - I have yet to get a CTD that I could replicate.

I don't want to feel like I am not doing my bit to help is all. :)

Actually it is helpful to let us know that there are folks out there who are having very few problems. We need people to let us know what problems exist, because we are simply not capable of doing serious testing with a limited team in a short period of time. But it's good to know that while most posts are for problems, there are some people who aren't having any or at least not many. Thanks!

Only problem I have is that I get a CTD at the end of the second turn, as the romans, everytime no matter what I do. Pity cause the mod looks gorgeous.
