CTD's & Bugs Report

may not be saved game compatible due to a slight change in the campaign map

Changes in the map files ('base' directory) are known to cause border\region color cause issues in save games.

with the new patch [F]

should i play with old version? or just don't overwrite new map files?

Changes to the map files are never savegame compatible. You have to start a new campaign. If you want to continue your old campaign, don't install this update.

Since today I have my new PC with Win 10, what do I have to adjust the BI Exe compatibility ? I still have vanilla backups for mods from the normal Rome installation. I tried it before with RO, but I only see the loading screen before the main menu comes. What am I doing wrong ?

Not much to do actually, you only need directx files in your root RTW directory. Refer to this link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/4760/...8291502250484/ and also put d3d8.dll in the root directory.

Use these launch parameters: -mod:RO -show_err -nm -ne

If you want, use Win XP SP2 compatibility but that is purely optional.

Finally, adjust your preferences.txt file. There are lots of guides around to find the best settings.

I have just installed adendum F and now I have CTDS when I try to begin a new campaing with any faction . And yes I deleted map.rwm before the installation.

Well that's quite strange. I would advise to reinstall the campaign and other options (vegetation, forced diplomacy etc) and try again...

Yep you were right! I have reinstalled the campaing and now works! Thanks for the advide.

After play several battles in the campaing map I have noticed that, almost always, tooks place a CTDS in the second one or the third of them, at the end of the battle or in the middle of it.

Besides that there an strange "bug" playing with the Herulii campaing of 260 A.D.:


I can select this army normally clicking over it but I can do it directly from the list of armies in the campaing menu.

And the other error is a bit silly (I don't know if really counts):



If you look at the fifth line begining upwards in the description text you will notice and odd "o" in capital letter in the word Roman.

[_Tartaros_]

adendum F changes the map (rivercrossing). if you delete the old map.rwm the new files aren´t compatible with old saves anymore and they will produce strange bugs, like the different colors.
100% savegame changes only regard UI, /text folder changes and edu, edct and edb changes (as long as no hidden resources are involved).

[tungri_centurio]

didn't have any old saves.im running disc versions of rome1 with the no disc exe's from gamecopyworld, roma surrectum and EB run smooth. but somehow i can't get any IB mod to run properly

[tungri_centurio]

-show_err -nm -movie_cam can i use this instead of this "D:\restitutor orbis\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:RO -show_err -nm??? thats how my roma surrectum path looks like

my game keeps crashing after that battle, or before the battle. even with graphics settings on low.

You can. Unfortunately I do not know why your game keeps crashing with that battle. It is something I have not experienced.

[tungri_centurio]

it deffo has something to do with that battle setup. i didn't fight it and now i can play the campaign.

[Rampante-Cid]

Which campaign are you playing and how many turns in?

I'm playing the 260 campaing with 6tpy with script added.

Salve Julianus Heraclius!

I have recently donwloaded this mod and instantly loved it. I have long played IB SAI and IB FD and, although I have had my issues with IB SAI (several CTD after battle), I am experiencing too many CTD with this mod. I do not know if anything went wrong with downloading or installing, but I am facing several CTD after a battle, during a battle or even on the strategic map. I have tried to play without the script on, but the problem persist to the extent to rendering the mod almost unplayable.

I am playing in Windows 10, over a CD installation. Main Campain and faction Roman Empire. I have had CTD even after finishing first turn.

Any help would highly appreciated.

Thank you,

4. Please see attached. Every time I try to play a battle on the field, the game gets to the load screen and CTD. I have lowered graphics and installed the mod on a clean RTW Gold Edition. It happens everytime and I don't know what the root cause is. I want to play this mod so bad but I can't even get past the first term please help.

Hmm, that is strange as I don't seem to experience that particular CTD. Perhaps for the moment just auto resolve so you can move on. Are you playing with the unlimited men on the battlefield on or off??

i would suggest to check the preference option for "unlimited men", AA-Quality and/or reinforcements. could also be the battlemap resolution.

try to check the preference.txt in the preference folder.

I went through my preferences and turned on Unlimited men on the battle field. Please see preferences below. Still getting CTD even when I do a quick battle to test. It will load past the screen, once it zooms in on the models during the speech, it CTD. I'm not sure if it's something to do with install but I got frustrated with the RVINA ROMAE mod (uninstalled that mod) so I tried this one but I'm experiencing the same bug on both.

Here's a video of me trying to load up the game. The video literally ends as my game crashes. Possibly a specific unit?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftNw...ature=youtu.be

Do any of my preferences seem out of the ordinary that would cause this kind of crash? I even turned down all my settings and reduced the manpower scale just to see if it would help. No dice.

I can auto resolve battles to progress the campaign but I don't want to conquer the whole world via Auto resolve, it's no fun that way.

I am using a steam version of the game, I wonder if that's the source of the issue?

I'm super bummed because I want to start my campaign as soon as possible with this kick ass mod, hopefully we can find the fix together.

Thanks for all the help!
