Post 0.73 ctds here

[Ano2]

Hope you don't mind me making this topic but I got my first one with 0.73.

It was as Getai. Scripting was on. I was assaulting the town to the East of the starting town (By the Coast). I had the second son, who was the faction heir (First son killed on first turn) and I had 3 units of the phalanx troops, and 3 archers. I had a spy open the gate and i attacked first turn. Then as it was loading the battle it ctded.

Am gunna try it again with scripting off.

The background script being on or off should have no effect on battle-loading CTDs.

Just had a CTD as Makedon after fighting Epeiros. Was besieging Ambrakia (there were a few units left inside, mostly Illyrian Levies and Taxeis Hoplitai, but had a general in it too) and Pyrrhos (on his own) tried to lift the siege. I'd fought another battle against them normally earlier on with no problems, and I was facing no new units (so definately not an anim/model/skin problem).

The only thing I did differently was click "End Battle" straight away rather than "Continue." I'll see if I can upload the savegame if I get the CTD again...

i have not received any CTDs so far, but i do recieve an error message.
i have played EB for about four turns, everything is ok, but when i exited the game, i received a message which said "DATABASE_TABLE error found:unrecognised record id romain medium cavalry requested", so what does this mean?

There are still some files that refer to vanilla units that not longer exist in EB.
The default historic and multiplayer battles for example, or maybe an old replay.

I always get this error message after I exited the game when I was before in the historic battles selection menue.

Everyone should keep in mind one of the only CTDs that we know of that occurs in conjunction with battles occurs when you are fighting an enemy with reinforcements. Sometimes it CTDs upon leaving the battle. Sometimes it doesn't though.

My suggestion is that before you fight any enemy with reinforcements, you definitely save the game. And I wouldn't fight any big epic ones against enemies with reinforcements either *unless* I was going to be ok with autoresolving it the next time *if* it did CTD upon exiting to the battlemap.

Fired up a game as the Koinon Hellenon. On the first turn, I took all my starting forces at Sparte and attacked Corinth. I just maintained the seige, and the Mak's sallied out. When I go to fight the battle, it finished loading but then CTD's with the following message:

"Generic Error:
Failed to find texture 'data/models_building/textures/##standard_ebmacedonia.tga'."

Uh-oh!! Good grief. Thanks for catching this quickly Mujalumbo. I'll get on this immediately.

edit1: It's working fine on my build in the same scenario. Something must have gotten screwed in transit to submission to the patch. I'll keep on this now.

edit2: I don't have the patch the installer places - but I think I know what happened. The banners probably got placed in this file instead: models_buildings/textures/ as an error instead of models_building/textures/

edit3: The correct fix is now on the main forum. It's easier to use that one. Thanks again should go out to Mujalumbo for catching this quickly and letting us get a solution out for everyone as fast as we could!

ok, i have gotten it, so it will not cause CTD, right?

[Baldrick]

Just got two CTDs on Bactria and Pontos (can't give you the exact scenario as I haven't been saving etc...just playing about) I'll try the priority thing as I never had a single CTD with .72

[Zero1]

I keep getting a CTD whenever I have more then one battle per turn but I've been playing on high priortiy, gonna try it on normal priority and see if that does the trick.

[Lusitani]

Aha...my 1st CTD on 7.03
Was playing those damned romani :P and while attacking bononia everytime the rebels had a army nearby and sallied out of the city the game crashed.
So i think i read somewhere that battles with reinforcements usually crash...took me like 1 hour to take that city :P not to mention that now rebels seem to build nonstop new units...is this a new thing from this patch?

[Magister Militum]

hey guys

I am playing the romani and I'm in a struggle with the ptolemaioi but every time I attack this city in the province Di'Amat I win and the game crashes.
All the family members of them are in that city and they've got more than that province so is it because of that?

[Dooz]

The pre-battle CTD's started happening again, this time at war against the Epirotes.



Screenshot of the composition of the armies for the first ctd. Again, after reloading it worked, then next battle, ctd again. I know it was said the spear+sword animations were causing ctd's during the battle, but is that related to pre-battle ctd's as well? If there's no need to keep posting pre-battle ones, lemme know.

Playing as the Ptolemaic empire, ive gotten to about 260 B.C. and Whenever i engage in a battle in or around edessa, i get a CTD after the battle during the loading screen. The first two times this happened was during a siege of the city(me being taking the city) finally i had to automate the battle as to not CTD. then i attacked a seluicid army one tile away from edessa. after the battle i received a CTD.

so i tried playing as Casse. In the first year after 3 turns(272 BC) I get a CTD when the Ptolemy turn comes up. I quit this game and attempted a second Casse game doing different things this tiem around and still on 3rd turn i experienced a CTD on ptolemy's turn.

both times ive tried turning off the script to no avail

Edit: ok now my Sarmartian campaign has died. It is the first year 272 B.C. after 3 turns and this time around i crash on the Yezhui turn. Again turning off the script makes no difference.

btw i never got crashes in 0.72 and now in .73 im getting them like crazy


Edit #2: CTD with Epieros after 3 turns or so. This is getting really annoying, i mean i love all the new stuff, i just cant play with it!!!


Edit #3 ok Romani has CTD after 3 turns now as well, im assuming now that this is going to be true for all cultures...it only bugs me that initially it didnt touch my ptolmaic campaign in the same way. odd...
