The crash to desktop rate has far surpassed any previous version I have had on my machine...to the point where I am ready to unistall it.

Myself, I don't really experience CTD for like really anything. 8.2 included.

Is it remotely possible you have hardware issues?

I am going to try a new install and see if maybe the copy I received had a corrupted file or two.

I am noticing that the majority of my CtD's come on mid to large size scenarios after about a dozen turns or so...when the carnage is usually starting to pile up.

Status: offline 		Everyone knows that SPWaW is a notorious memory hog, but maybe the tweaks in the 8.2 mech.exe exacerbated this problem. This is just conjecture, but it should be looked into. However, I haven't had a single crash in either the testing phase or my long campaign battles.

Orzel, let us know how the new install checks out.

Go take mom or someone else's mom if need be, out to lunch then try it :)

I'm getting spontaneous CTD. I was just poking around in the LOTR OOB file Jess posted and I kept getting crashes.

We are not amused!

I'm downloading it again and I'll reinstall it to see what happens.

I got my copy from GamersHell, too, and running it smoothly, both on XP Pro and MilleniumEdition machines.

Status: offline 		Is anyone else who's having problems running Win98? I'm running 98SE and am having the same CTD problem. On top of that the autosave feature doesn't seem to be working correctly so when I do CTD, I lose everything in the scenario I'm in (I usually only save at the end of each one). I'm pretty sure I downloaded the file from Fileshack, so I'm trying the Gamers Hell one. I'll report back in with my results.

Status: offline 		No CTD so far. Please, those who receive some CDT more frequently watch carefully game messages and save the Combat.txt file with ALT-L! If it´s not a corrupted download, then more info is needed on particular scenario that crashes. Might help to find out what causes the CDT in particular.
