**EMPIRE TOTAL WAR**

Hm i am a little concerned about using mods for the moment with th stability issues some people are having. Also i reckon that smoke mod might kill my fps!

I reckon im going to play through it as intended first and then in install mods a month or two down the line, maybe when ive got a new graphics card!.
 
These arent too bad looking, and thats before the graphics mods, not on ultra settings either. Looks much better with the graphics mods and upped to ultra though.

Well my new campaign crashed last night.

I have the four turns per year mod, and I was on year 1745. I had conquered most of America, Europe, N Africa, and was making a sturdy start in India. But oh no, it crashes, white screen and this program has stopped working. ARRRRGGGHHHHHHH.

When I load it up crashes at the same point, even if i make different decisions. I am so annoyed. I wana smash my PC up! Although, i know its the game!
 
I had my first CTD last time I played 2 days ago :(

My version was fine before they started patching it, I didn't even have much of a delay on the port or fleet selection. Now that all these patches have been released it seems to be making my version worse, not better. I am yet to try the mods and once I have got a new processor for my PC I will give them a try, hope they make the game experience more enjoyable.
 
*sigh*

I've now joined the ranks of people having CTD's. White screens and then crashes, but only after installing the latest patch.

Coincidence, I think not.

*Addendum"

Oh well, to be fair to CA, it was the updated (1.05) Imperial Splendour mod that caused the CTD. Took it out and it worked.

I actually reinstalled it fresh last night WITHOUT any patches and still crashed at the same places. I have visited the TW centre and got loads of "fixes" to try out later. So will keep me busy.

Trouble is now, I feel I'm playing the game to avoid crashes, i.e. adding sloops to my fleets to keep the movement "calculation" down when you click on ships, lowering settings in the options, switching off music etc to try and allow normal game sounds to come through lol
 
Not sure if its any help, but I still am not having any crashes at all. Admittedly I dont have the latest patch, as it didnt appear to have anything in it of worth to me, then again as I wasnt crashing before that its hard to say if its of any consequence.
 
Latest patch or not i still can't get this game stable. What is really annoying the hell out of me is that the worst problems seem to come later on in the game when you have played a while built yourself up with a lot of gametime and bang crashes and problems galore. I have no problems with any other game on my system and yet despite stating that i am still told the problem is my system not the game by official sources suffice to say i am getting to the point of not replying to them politely even if it wil get me banned as it definately will as discontent is not allowed.
 
Back to normal now, put the latest IS mod in, just had a couple of hours with no problems, my one and only CTD must have been a glitch.:)
 
Ive conquered the world and had to endure countless CTDs. Im now playing through again on the hardest settings. Since starting a new campaign after the patches came out, it seems a whole lot smoother and im getting far few crashes.
