Ctd, Ctd, Ctd

[Kull]

Granted, this is a beta. But some people seem able to play the game as if it were finished. I, however, am not one of them. I get CTDs EVERY time I play. I've tried Romani, Bactria, Seleukids, Hellenes, and a bunch in between, most recently Getai (sp). I try the infamous, "move your agents around" fix, I try to do things differently. But I can never take a city. Ever. If I try, either the enemy sallies forth and I get a CTD, or I get a CTD when I assault it. It doesn't matter if I lift the seige and come back, or go to another city, nothing works.

If I fight in the open, I'm usually okay. It seems to be just assaults/sally. I can build and build; the game works great...unless I try to take a city. What's worse, is that the game has such promise, the chronic CTDs are frustrating because I'm totally missing out on a big aspect of the game.

I just hope you folks rectify as many of the problems as possible. I don't like to complain because I know you are all working for free, so I usually take what I can get in that regard. Additionally, I rarely play EB because of the CTDs; I just fired it up again because I was hoping it would work a little more smoothly. I'm sure you've got a ton of diligent beta testers that can provide you with all the feedback you need; sadly, I'm not one of them. But I am a fan. If my above post helps you in some way, great. If not, then that's fine too.

Thanks for listening.

The only way you would have a CTD on every siege is if you are using multiple stacks, and getting the reinforcement CTD (and even that would only show up AFTER the battle). So barring that, it sounds like you might have a corrupted install. Please take a look at the FAQ and follow the directions exactly to ensure you have a clean install. (To include downloading new files for v.72 and v.74)

Just out of curiosity, are any bug reports for .74 relevant to .8, with the exception of spelling and similar things?

For the most part, no. I am still interested in getting saved games that feature the reinforcement CTD AND all-captain-led armies (if there's even one family member involved on either side, don't bother posting). Problems with traits and/or scripts are relevant, so we'd still like to see those. It would be nice if somebody could collect them all into a single thread, as the reports tend to be scattered and duplicated - plus our lack of traiting support lo these many months means that nobody was actively collecting them (something Malrubius was religious about).
