I am ready to break something

This is reaaly getting on my nerves.

I just spent 3/4 of an hour beating the pants off a vastly superior Seleukid army and was just finishing off the last 2 units. CTD !!!!!!!!!!!

Why is it that the

game has to crash just as I am about to win the battle after putting in not a small amount of effort? My equipment is turning colour from all the profanities hurled at it.

The CTD is not consistent enough to be predictable, except that it usually rears its ugly head at the end of a battle and as I am about to win. Stressing about to. I don't seem to get a chance to actually win. I am certain that after I spend 5-10 minutes loading up the game and getting back to where I was just before I attacked the Seleukids, the battle will go just fine.

Would a save file be of use?

When stuff like that happens, I usually just say "Screw it", and auto_win attacker/defender to get around the battle.

Doesn't sound like a savegame worth checking out. CTDs during battles are not something we have any control over, AFAIK. You could run memtest some night to see if some part of your memory chips is screwed, or check the temperature of your hardware perhaps.

Is it a bridge battle? Those tend to have more problems than others.

**Sygrod** · 05-23-2007, 22:34

No, not a bridge battle. It happens anywhere. I am going to reduce graphics settings even more. They are quite low already. The game is overall much more stable after 0.81a, though.

... and let me interject that the EB mod is definitely a 10 out of 10.

Oh, and auto-win battle would still not generate the same casualty ratios that I am currently enjoying, I believe.
