[CTDs] kind of sick of it

didn't see if anyone else suggested this, but sometimes leaving the EBscript off until after the battle prevents ctds.

How would you turn it on and off? I just turn it on as instructed when I load up my game. And doesn't it need to be on for certain events such as taking cities?

The CTDs also turned me off playing EB for quite a while. The game is probably the best game ever, but CTDs are just too frustrating.

Now I'm desperate to play again.

Btw, I also found that I have less crashes when playing Qart, whereas some other factions crash after almost every battle (I can't now remember which ones were the worst).

I just mean that if a battle ctd's, when you reload, do not turn the script on when told to until after the battle. Sometimes it helps, though if the battle is during an AI turn you end up losing two seasons.

Ok, I see what you are saying. Also just for the record I've been using the Romans for my games and getting the post-battle CTDs. I wonder if the Roman faction are more prone to CTDs because of all the extra mod work they received, perhaps higher memory usage?

My worst crashes were in my Carthaginian game on the old install.

In my current Roman game I'm in Marian times and have conquered 2/3rds of the historical Roman Empire (and a bit of extra Africa) and I haven't had more than a couple of crashes.

I'm not sure what the causes are but I don't think it's anything like that.

I play EB on ~700MB RAM and have CTD only in rare occasions. I also have one of the memory optimizer programs installed on my comp (before i launch EB i always free and compress my RAM) and my EB runs much faster and crashes more rarely than before the memory software was installed.

I do the same....almost no crashes (only 2 times in 2 years of EB)
