2 CTD's..

[Kull]

A couple things:

1) Were you playing a v.72 campaign and then upgraded to v.74? (there is a ports bug which isn't solved when this happens). If you are playing a barand new campaiagn in v.74, then this isn't your problem.

2) Load up the game for the turn before the CTD, and do NOT activate the scripts (when you a click on a city and the advisor box appears, don't click on it). If the game does not CTD, let a turn or two pass before activating the script, and hopefully it will proceed normally.

3) If 1 and 2 don't help, try the "toggle_fow" command (access this screen by using the ~ key. The same key also closes the screen) to reveal the map, and see if the AI is conquering Alexandria on the turn of the CTD. There is a know bug involving the "Alexander's Body" script. If this is the problem, #2 should solve it temporarily until you can conquer Alexandria yourself.

4) If nothing else is working, we have a "neutered trait file" which can be used to test whether traits are causing the CTD. You will have to replace the existing file with this one, and see if that eliminates the CTDs.

Edit: To answer a few of your other questions:

1) Destroyed and partially destroyed "enemy" governments will not cause a CTD. You should demolish them after conquering a city, as they allow for the recruitment of units you really aren't entitled to. This is an exploit.

2) Here are the commands you can add to your desktop shortcut. There may be more, but these are the ones I use:
-nm = No movies (speeds up the launch)
-show_err = Sometimes (but not always) will tell you what caused the game to crash
-ne = Runs the game in "windowed mode" (helps if you are doing other things on the PC)

:) Great will be right on it. And i have never played v.72(started downloading mods when the .74 was already out ;) )

Hmm, thats weird, every time i tried to recruit one of those units i werent supposed to be able to recruit the game crashed.. wich is kind of a good thing though :P

And uh, i already have Alexandria, and no army is besieging it that i can see.
And also the crash happens before the AI starts doing it's thing, it crashes directly after my units that i forgot to move finished moving..

But i will try the things you posted :) Will edit this post when i'm done :P

OMG! It worked! i loaded the game and did not activate the script, and pressed end turn and it worked! and when the turn was over i got the trait/quest thingy to move alexanders body back to macedon :) so happy ^.^ And quite funny too since i have alexandria, and then the temporary solution should be VERy temporary no? :)

Just hope it don't crash the next time i press end turn heh. since i already had alexandria and it crashed anywayz.. heh. will go and continue my great campaign now :) *so frekkin happy!*
