CTD HELP PLEAS

**bovi** · 02-07-2008, 09:05

Those fixes will help you avoid any future CTDs, so you should install them anyway. They will not take up any considerable space, as they replace nearly identical files. Backups you make will take up some space of course.

Some people report that waiting for 10-15 seconds before dismissing the battle scroll helps to avoid the post-battle CTD.

I have two gigs of ram isn't that enough?? I saw some other guy on hear with this problem and he said he has two gigs as well. I will for shure try the wait 10 to 15 seconds before clicking out of the battle results tho.

Could you maybe explain the leaking memory part what exactly does that mean?

2GB RAM is ideal for EB. No need for more, it's likely some other cause then (such as those that we've found and fixed!).

A memory leak is a technical term for a program that doesn't release some of the memory it used, when it no longer needs it. Some examples could be that the game still remembers the experience level of a unit that is destroyed, or the weather in the battles that have been fought. Those examples are likely false, just to illustrate. The effect is that your computer is slowly suffocated with a lack of available memory, and it tends to crash RTW when it gets bad enough.

Thanks for the help bovi!!

Ok I played the battle and did the wait 15 seconds thing and eather that worked or the fact that I restarted my computer and EB.

But one turn past and when KH took there turn they attacked my city this time in the middle of the battle it CTD thats never happened before to me thow.

But ya ill start get the temporary and permanent fixes on there.

So that means I don't have a memory leak or short of ram??
Its a another bug that can be fixed with the patches??

Just double checking I wanna try every thing.

Thanks again very much for your help!

The memory leak can't be helped short of another patch from CA, which won't be coming. But you shouldn't have any problem with that particular thing when you have 2GB.

Ok cool ill just download the EB fixes when I get time then and it should work.

One more quick clarification the leak is do to a problem with the game/program not something that can be wrong with my computer?? If your answer is a YES than I believe I follow everything your saying. Thanks again much appreciated
