rome total realism 8 crashing randomly

[Pharaoh]

help i need assistance getting this mod to work on windows ten it always crashes for me no clue what im doing wrong im pasting the RTR folder into alexander (which the mod is designed for but it runs for a short while then just dies i feel like it might be a run time error of some sort no other mod does this :S

[ß円ðµ]

The mod looked like it got its own folder so im going to try and see how to run the mod
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So i played for abit until turn 30 and i did not encounter any crashes but that is just me building and fighting rebels that spawn in my territory. My guess is either corrupted install or you didnt do it properly.

I am also using Win 10.

basically what i did was drag the rtr folder too my alexander directory are you suggesting it could be alexander that's courrupted some how?


Update:okay i fixed it some how chrome was interfearing with the downloading process and redownloaded it on firefox and now everything is fine

Alright but crashes can still be expected in mods that are more pretty even if you use LAA so my suggestion is to save every turn (manual save)

so i just crashed again during my ptolemaic campaign right before a siege so im going to try messing with the map.rwm file

if i recall it right deleting that map.rwm file will make you unable to play your current save

let me give it a shot on the same faction. ive read in some threads in TWC that the steam version of this game is not compatible with the existing mods.

unlike med 2 even if you set it to windowed mode try not to alt+tab the game dont like it specially on loading for me that is a confirm crash (i have multiple monitors).

So it seems to be an issue originating with my instalation of steam because i just now reinstalled steam and now the mod is working fine



Update so apparently my graphics card is too new so i had to download that .dill fix to solve the issue it would seem that it was the dreaded campaign map lag issue i also turned off some specific 3d settings for the program see if that helps

im quite positive that the dll is available in the system folder or something. id rather not download dll files from the web. could be wrong but i thought the lag is mostly caused by laptops due to it having 2 gpu?

the thing is when i first encounter the crash in turn 70 and play it again and got another crash at turn 86. I boot up my win 7 pc and the disc copy of the game and the only crash i had with the ptolemy faction is at turn ~200

HELLO, make sure your MAP and your BATTLE field Have the SAME Graphic set. if not. IT CRASHS. NO CLUE WHY. FIxed it for me

@doctor g I had to end up moving steam to a different drive completely reinstalling alexander and uninstalling all my other mods i can now play darth mod and rtr platium. Without any crashing



Im wondering if it had something to do with virtual store either way im quite displeased Microsoft released windows 10 in such an unstable finicky state
