I have some peculiar CTD issue for MTWI...and it's been fine for a year and a quarter since I installed it last. It wasn't ever there before, not even when my brother upgraded the drivers for Half Life 2 Episode 2 and Portal on October 10th (there was a slow down loading the battlemap and campaign map up, but that wasn't a bother). Now it is there, and I have the necessary resolution CTD solution in place. No other solutions have been necessary since then, and they weren't needed before either. Nothing else has been changed. I even uninstalled and reinstalled, then reinstalled XL 3.0. Unless it's the latter, in which case I've played it for several weeks...

The only other time I had such a problem was when the computer needed rebooting...

Unless, of course, the DVD is damaged in any way. I mean, it looks like there's a smudge on the underside...that might be it. Nothing else I can think of, unless the computer really does need rebooting, like I said. It's sad, too, because I looked forward to playing as Castile-Leon on GA in XL 3.0...or as anyone, for that matter. Looks like I can't do it at the moment.

Any suggestions? I've only ever needed the one CTD solution...*touch wood*. And this current problem only started after I played a Quick Battle while XL 3.0 was installed (was the Italians...but they had the Venetian flag). Yet, that doesn't make sense because I selected a Quick Battle once before with the mod installed, or it's previous version, and never had any problems...

Because it's my bro's computer, rebooting it myself might not be wise...I'd like to be alive to play the game when all this CTD problem is sorted out. And if that doesn't solve the issue...it could be the DVD. If that isn't it...then I don't know what the heck it is, because I have NEVER had any problems before now like this...and it's making me angry. A game stops working properly for NO reason. The usual suspects of the CTD issues people have faced do NOT apply in my case, and the ONLY one which might has had a solution in place for over a year and a quarter without incidence. I'm wondering if the computer isn't just screwing with me and playing some ludicrous game with me...a game has stopped working with practically very little evidence for doing so, and has never had such a problem in the past...

I'd hang out on M2TW, but I just don't like that game. LOL. I get angry everytime I try to play it. Within moments, I find something I don't like. That's why I'm going to be uninstalling it, because I just can't get into it, no matter what...

But M1TW? My precioussssssssssssssss? Nos! They mustn'ts takes it, they mustn'ts! M1TW be safe on this computer...be safes!
