    I got a CTD immediately after a battle as Epeiros against Macedonia. I was attacked by an army trying to lift the siege on Korinthos, and crushed both of them--then I got a CTD right before I made it back to the campaign map to save.

    Cheers.

    I got a CTD in my Kart-Hadast campaign immediately after fighting a fairly large battle (got on my tits, it was the battle from Roma! ).
    This is the only situation I would get a CTD in pre-1.0 though and probably in Vanilla too so I don't think its EB's fault.
    CTDs happen with ANY program, the thing to do is do the same thing again and see if the CTD reoccurs. If its a recurring CTD get as much information as you can then paste it up for the EB team to hopefully do something about. No point wasting time for something that was a one off :)
    Check the technical help forum for details.

    cheers

    The only CTD I got when I douple clicked Rome to get into the building que, this was right after it had grown to large city. It was an persistent bug. I managed to bypass it by opening another city and scrolling to Rome and after that everything was fine
    Roma must be destroyed

    That kind of thing makes everyone scratch their heads when it happens. It just doesn't seem logical given what we know, so we generally have to attribute it to something we have no control over.

    I have a CTD when it's supposed that a campaign or a battle would begin to load, but it crashes and it goes to desktop. This problem is with E.B. v.1.

    I have a CTD every time I TRY to start a campaign. Strange enough the main menu is flickering all the time & it seems the vanilla Rome is lurking in the background. Very strange & SAD...installed around 8 time in all variations + downloaded 2 versions ....Help anyone for a very very sad man?

    Edit: I have just seen this occurs with a lot of other people too...I will search a bit around....maybe it will work.....

    Unhappy Re: Anyone got a CTD??


    After conquering Epiros and the whole Adriatic coast, after capturing Patavium and Bononia, I besieged Mediolanum. After three rounds, I clicked the end round button. Well, the round never ended. After 5 Minutes of waiting, I hit the esc and quit the game. After restarting my machine I tried to reload the campaign, but all I got were error messages.


    what went wrong?
    how can I prevent this from happening again?
    how should I react if it happens again?

    thanks for helping!

    One CTD so far. Occured while loading a saved game. 1.0 of course. ;)
    I like to conquer.

    I got multiple CTDs in my romani campaign so far, I think about 5 or 6, 235b.c. It always seemed to occur when the game loaded from battle to campaign or from campaign to battle, while the AI factions acted. I'm glad RTW has such a good autosave feature.

    getting a CTD as the sweboz when i end the turn. It crashes a few factions before it gets to mine on epeiros but then it jumps back to lusatana i think. really annoying cause now i don't know how I'm going to get any further on my campaign, its done this 4 times in a row. Will check what year now. 235-236 BC

    I've had 1 CTD so far, while loading my Arche Seleukia campaign. I didn't recieve and error message, and had been tinker with the preferences and added the forced diplomacy mod. So I was a bit worried that I had "broken" my EB, but thankfully I reloaded and everything was fine again.

    I do however, occasionally (about 1/3 times) when I close EB I get an error stating "Podromoi" already belong to a unit group" or something of that nature. It doesn't seem to have any effect on the game though.

    k well something very strange has happened. I decided to turn FOW off and just look at the epeiros area then i clicked end turn to see what happened - nothing happened armies just moved and the next turn started fine no CTD. So i was quite happy with that, took another turn etc. But then when I turn FOW on again the same old CTD happens again with it crashing on epeiros during the turn. No idea whats going on.
