Game crash problem

[Hesusjkuni]

In short, when playing the online/offline campaign, the game crashes to the desktop without an error during the battle

You messed your userspace up just fresh install windows 11.

really simple fresh install windows 11
install all direct x legacy redist package
install all vc++ legacy redist package
install latest drivers chipset/gpu
Dont install adware
install your games or put them on a separate HD or host them in a steam cloud
dont mod game files
disable bios mods or update bios

Put your Video settings on low test each setting 1 by 1 until you find the bugged setting..

You're making a lot of assumptions there and coming up with horrendously incorrect conclusions as a result. Let's review, shall we?

• That rig doesn't even meet the backdoor, I mean "security" requirements for win 11.
  
• Win 11 is the last OS you want to use for any purpose whatsoever... at least until M$ comes up with a newer, even more poorly designed piece of spyware.
  
• Adware has nothing to do with the game.
  
• Mods do not by necessity cause CTD's. In this case, however, mod selection is where one ought start.
  
• ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with one's BIOS is the absolute last thing to do because doing so will brick your rig if you ♥♥♥♥ it up and there is an unpleasantly high chance it will ♥♥♥♥ up all on its own.

Now that we've established that you have no earthly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue what you are talking about, maybe stop talking, eh?

Now, back OT:
OP, you didn't provide much relevant information, so you are unlikely to get an exact solution... even before factoring in certain people. That said, mid-battle crashes are typically the result of an issue with something specific to the battle such as a unit, ability, or entity. Pre- and post-battle crashes are normally caused by loading issues and troubleshooting for any of the three is basically the same.

In this case, that means the first step in troubleshooting likely resides in reviewing your mods. If you can reproduce the issue without mods, the first step is either to re-install or to verify the game files. Bear in mind, however, that removing mods which add things such as units in the middle of a campaign will prevent you from loading that campaign.

It should be noted that Attila and Warhammer both have issues that can cause a mid-battle CTD without any mods, though this is usually rare. If this is not the case, then the issue is probably with your installation, though it may be indicative of a hardware fault; the GPU and CPU listed are rather old, so presumably the rest of the system is as old or older. To boot, Attila has major technical issues and is hard on the system running it as a result.

Hardware testing is something I'd recommend as a last resort due to the technical and time-consuming nature of it. However, if you are having consistent crashes under certain conditions, it may be necessary to do so.

lol w/e this guy is a idiot !!
These fixes are listed on segas own troubleshooting web page dork. You wasted everyones time with 5 paragraphs of nonsense and not 1 fix for a crash i didnt list????

windows 11 supports back to 8th gen intel.. so he is basically clueless about how windows operates in a home environment from the start of his worthless post.

I always recommend just using a defaulted system userspace because no one knows anyone's rig which is why i also recommend resetting your bios to defaults as well. More or less if you cant figure out a simple crash then your probably not the most tech savy to figure out the games basic file structure within windows or dont wanna deal with it i can guarantee you will get better fps in all your games with a vanilla windows 11 install with a fresh userspace and a properly updated driver environment.

crashes happen with total war usually from the autosave function or some other script failure it happens 99.9% less if you follow my steps for sure..



-Disabling/Adjusting these will improve your gameplay the most-

Unlimited memory disable - It uses windows page file
AA - Disabled (older dx9 form of AA MSAA doesn't run good..)
AO - disable
shadows - Low/disabled
troop count - low
grass - low

Honestly, i own a 1050ti you shouldnt use AA and all the other setting should be on low for sure. You could probably get away with a bump on textures and polygons... but its a bad card for advance lighting and AA..
