Warlords is better than Vanilla but still not as stable as BtS. Once we port this into BtS the crashes will be no more.
What could help now, is if you had a 64Bit operating System.

I'm not sure it's a bug, really, it might be just Vista-related. Still, curoius if more of you Vista civers out there have similar problems.
The problem is quite simple: after long sessions, let's say 3+ hours and some save/load actions involved, when I finally exit the game it crashes.
But not just crashes. It is the first and only instance I've had so far that Vista goes blue-screen with some ASCII-XP-style characters showing for a sec and then just reboots. So it must be some critical resources allocation failure or so?
Anybody else had this?

Might be a hardware stress case - you may be overtaxing your videocard, for instance. The bluescreens also tend to show the name of the file involved - if you had taken note of it, it would be pretty easy to determine what exactly causes the crash.

Hi there
I have a problem with this Savegame (running Vanilla Civ newest Patchset + TR 2.1.3 World Map). If I end the round the game crashes on both my computers (both in Wine and Windows). Older autosaves run up to this point and crash then. Any clue what's the problem? Sad if that game would be lost, took hours to get that far, wanted to try a world domination game...

Vanilla TR is no longer supported (with all due respect, vanilla version was developed even before I joined the team!). Current version is TR Gold for Warlords.
I've come across this, after pressing F1 after some exhausting vs. AI campaign. What a surprise. I'm not sure if this behavior wasn't discussed here b4, if so, please lead me to solution.
Just to make the point: the "readings" on this screen are wayyyy off and those "?s" at the top don't make it easier

Off the top of my head, try hitting "refresh". I'll check if it is an actual bug, though.

Stay cool - I'm already trying to help you in another thread. BTW, you should patch your Warlords to the latest version to use our mod - but if patches for the game itself aren't working too, then I can't be of any help to you, you should probably ask the question about the patches in the technical support subforum.

all I can say is GAWD! I just downloaded your mod and guess what I have the patch 2.13 installed it for that and it doesn't work at all please tell me why it won't work.

Hi TR team, long time i don't post in your thread.
Recently i've seen the new dll and downloaded it, but no way.
Once i reach the late Renaissance and a big empire, i got CTDs every turn, even when saving a game.
I've tried to change the Warlords.exe and the Cvgamecore.dll (made backups, of course) files to handle >2Gb, but still no way.
I found this suggestion in some thread.
I also have seen something like 2.4, but can't find any link.
I think it can be a good idea to start a thread here and in your site where you gather in a single post all the links to your mod and to the utilities related.
It's really difficult to know if the files we're downloading are the last version.

2.4 is not out yet. What you're describing is a classic MAF, so there's no real cure for it, and we can't make one.

New bug:
In the world map, Total Realism 2.3a for Warlords, I got to about 200 BC before the following began happening: Every 2 out 3 save attempts failed, resulting in a "Memory allocation error" and the game closing. This has become extremely annoying, since I've had to take every turn about 3 times each before the save works. Any idea what this it? Anyway for me to fix it?
Thanks in advance...
attached is the latest successful save (240 AD)

It is not our bug. Memory allocation failure is the bug of Civ itself. The game handles memory incorrectly. Depending on your system and OS, it is more or less fixable (or not fixable at all).
If you have a 64-bit system, all you have to do is to patch your .exe to handle large amounts of memory. If you have a 32-bit XP or Vista, you can try these (the first thread is for XP, the second for Vista):

Yeah the vista fix allowing 3GB of memory allocation with userva worked for me. Looks though like 64 bit systems are best for this kind of stuff, cuz obviously I will run into this problem again once 3GB is not enough, later in the game.

Yes, 64-bit Oses are by far the only real way to solve this bug permanently. Thankfully, they are getting more and more prevalence each year. While they were still fairly exotic when Civ 4 came out, now they are fairly common (and have no real disadvantages compared to 32bit), and I believe will become even more common as people move to Windows 7.

This mod crashes everytime during the load screen. I'm using Warlords and I think everything is updated.
