Crashes to desktop with no warning. Possibly Solved.

[Sniper1k2]

So in about november i decided to get back into rome 2. But after a few hours of play the game just shutoff to desktop with no warning. It happened twice more and i reinstalled the game, it continued happening. (This was with no mods)

I allowed it through windows firewall as some discussions had mentioned help. but nothing worked. Now in late january i completely rebuilt my computer, new cpu,gpu,16gb more ram, fresh install of windows and thus fully new rome 2 install. My old gpu was a 1660ti and my new one a 5700xt. Old cpu was a 1600x new is a 3600x.

Its also now on a SSD rather than hard drive. Ive had this happen numerous times but its in battles, could be in the deployment phase, could be a hour into a seige. Does not matter. I have yet to have it happen in the campaign standard mode (not in battle).

Ive allowed it through the firewalls, ive done about everything i possibly could but with no warning, no stop, no slowdown or pre warning the game just closes. No crash error or report. It never takes more than 2 or 3 seconds from being mid battle no issues to staring at my desktop.

Please could somebody give me some idea or possible solution? Its annoying as hell and i cant deal with this anymore.

I have not had it happen on any other total war game.

I believe it was set to unlimited video memory. I currently have the game fully reinstalling for technically the 3rd time. Should I have that ticked or unticked?

The verify didint give me any downloads so id assume thats good.

Update. Downloaded thrones of britannia and that also had the same exact crash, with video memory on and off. Just closes to desktop with no warning at all. I allowed it through windows firewall and what not yet still.

This is ridiculous. Not only is rome crashing but britannia is aswell. If two total war games are crashing im willing to bet warhammer 2 and shogun may aswell.

Think it could be a graphics driver issue?

Check for driver updates.

My gpu drivers are good, any other drivers specifically i should check? I finished downloading britannia and its happened again with no warning. This time about 20 minutes into a land battle. I uninstalled the game from steam and deleted britannia from my creative assembly folder in %appdata%

If there is any other folders i need to delete when reinstalling i can do it again overnight.

Just to say again this happened when i had a 1600x CPU and a 1660TI gpu with 16gb of ram. Now ive completely rebuilt my system and a fresh version of Windows 10. I have a 5700xt GPU and 3600x CPU.

Its really frustrating as i love total war but this is completely ruining it for me right now.

I believe it has nothing to do with your installation - your installation is very likely fine. Tell me please, do you have any `'.dmp` (Windows memory dump) files in your game's folder?

If yes, do you believe there are any memory dumps in your folder that may have been generated after the crashes you have previously described?

[MANWHATADONGA]

Thanks for the graphics info have you tried to lower them to normal and untick some on the side off? Can you first lower your shadow to 3 and see what happens.

Happens to me aswell,but only in mp battles,i can play single player without any problems but mp crashes out of the blue

In my Total War Rome 2 folder under steam there are actually 4 mdmp files. but none that are just dmp.

This originally was happening on shader model 3. Ive also changed the graphics around alot and still had it happen.

Can you please try switching the shader settings to something else, e.g. 2, 4, 5, and see if it still crashes?

Also had random crashes to desktop. Turning down anisotropic filtering solved this.
