Persistent Roma CTD ...

**Oldgamer** · 10-21-2007, 02:20

I haven't posted enough at the ORG to know whether "bumping" a thread is allowable. Since my post about this persistent CTD is in someone else's thread, I thought I would put this at the top of the list.

The situation is simple. The year is 271bc (Winter), and I am playing as the Romans. Manius Dentatus is the faction leader, and is in Roma.

Every time I click on the Recruitment tab in Roma, I get a CTD. If I try to move Dentatus out of Roma by clicking on his portrait in the Family Tree, I get a CTD. If I try to access Recruitment by going to another city, clicking on Recruitment, and advancing to Roma, it works until I get to the eternal city, then ... a CTD.

I've validated the install, and it's all right. Follows my savegame:

I would really appreciate it if someone would address this. Thanks!

Many people have problems with that guy. I think it may be an ancillary that he picks up that screws it up. I can't get it to happen in a campaign that I start, and I can't see what ancillaries he has got because it crashes when I try to see in the savegames posted. Can you remember the ancillaries he has received recently? I see you mention "Auctoritas", but I can't see that in the files, the closest is Office of Censor, which includes the word.

As a workaround, move him out of Rome (using the Army tab), then do what recruitment you need to do and put him back in.

Thanks, Bovi. I'll try to find some way to move him out of the city.

I told you the way to move him out of the city... Use the Army tab.

No offense intended, Bovi.

However, clicking on the Army tab also results in a CTD. I'm very tempted to start a new campaign, and move him out of the city at the very beginning.

I could move him by
*click once on the settlement
*click once on the Army tag
*click once on the guy's portrait
*move him somewhere with a right-click in a green area

If this crashes on your computer, I have no idea why.

I had the problem until BI was removed, also I keep the faction leader in Rome and use the Heir to take care of all business. I am on year 260 and I have found a suitable character to build into a future faction leader and he leads all my battles at this time. I will keep him as my general until he reaches 45 or my current faction leader dies.
