Possible fix for CTD when returning to Main Menu in BAT

[Lemon Merchant]

And what would one with the CivIV Complete package do, seeing that the installer only allows you to install all expansions in one go?

I believe the complete version is pretty much patched, is it not? I think that you only have to patch BTS to 3.19. You might check in the tech forum for a more definitive answer.

Whatever the CTD problem was, it seems to have gone away when I did the 2.3 install, so I am a happy camper! At least, on that subject. Thanks!

Wonderful.

I'm happy to hear that.

I suspect that what is happening is that the game hasn't de-initialized the active game while it's trying to load the new game, so it has 2 games in memory, which exceeds the 3gb limit and it crashes.

This doesn't seem correct to me because I can reproduce the CTD by launching BTS, loading a game and then go back to menu. At that point BTS uses ~650Mo of memory, I have 4Gb on Win7 x64. I also have the two dll you mention in the first post, latest BTS patch and BAT 2.3.

But overall that's not too bad, BAT is a great mod. Thanks for all your efforts

Report from the event manager, not too helpful I think but just in case.

You're welcome.

The CTD isn't confined to just BAT. I've had both RoM and LoR do it for me on my laptop, though never with my main machine. I've never had it happen with BAT, but I'm sure it will eventually. Given the problems that people have with just vanilla BTS doing strange things at times, it may just be an idiosyncrasy of BTS itself.

I'm with Afforess on this one. It's the most plausible explanation I've seen so far.

I have had this happen twice now with BUG + BULL. But it also happened with MongooseMod which doesn't use either. I too suspect it's just BTS weirdness.

Yup. I can't screw up everything I touch.

Cool beans, I will try this.

For me this whole CTD happens I would say 9 out of 10 times. I had a string of three successful exits to main menu. It's so frustrating really.

I use that setting exclusively! Wow! I'm going to try to set it to something else this weekend and see if I can blow things up!
