FalkyMrsWilliams's Crash Report

[FalkyMrsWilliams]

I have a very big problem: when I click the button to begin loading a battle... CTD. When I click the button to begin loading a campaign... CTD. It happens me with the last EB release, 1.0. With the former release (0.81 v2) it never happens to me. Can anybody help me?

Seemingly random question: Are you using BI or Gold? (Not necessarily running off it, it just exsists on your system.)

Run the validation tool I posted, and tell us what it says. Please make your own thread.

My version is Gold. Next, I've installed Alexander. EB 0.81 v.2 had been installed in the original folder. Before installing any type of MOD I had make a security copy of Rome - Total War folder. For installing EB v.1.0. I've made another copy, but I've decided don't copy the BI and Alexander folders and files, for don't make a useless ocupation of hard-drive space.



That it's Process Monitor says for when it CTD when I'll begin to load a battle:

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Please make a clean 1.5 RTW installation (without Alexander) and install into that.

This is the validation tool.

[bovi]

If it's as you say... what must I do? Reinstalling RTW Gold? I've the DVD, but there's a little problem: it's literally broken by the middle... don't ask about it, a day it was out of the game case and out of the DVD-reader, I didn't see it and... crash! It became broken.

The "Added file" lines are the files that must not be in RTW folder and the "Missing file" lines are the files that must be there but don't?

Reinstalling RTW gold would probably do the trick. Sounds like that is out of the question though. You'd need the CD anyway to play EB.

Added files are merely a list over files that was not expected to be there, they rarely do any harm. Missing and changed files, however, are bad. Did you download the tool again and run it? What were the results?

[FalkyMrsWilliams]

The results are the same. But strangely, I've comprobed that ten or twenty files (with a great separation between them) of the nearly thousand files that the tool classifies as "Missing" are in the location that tool says these files aren't.

I run E.B. 0.81.v.2. without DVD and I've experienced no problem, because I have a NO CD CRACK, I think. But perhaps with 1.0. it doesn't work more, doesn't it?

[bovi]

"The same" does not help me. I need the actual results. But anyway, running with an Alexander installation with a nocd crack seems destined to fail. Sorry, you need to get a clean 1.5 RTW somehow. I have no idea if the nocd of the 1.5 exe will work or not.
