Where do you even download the graphic enhancement pack? All I have found is the link to download 4.5

Its a different mod

Removing Graphical Enhancement texture pack seems to have stabilized things alot.  I'll keep playing around with it and see if the problem returns, but I got through three forest bandit fights without a hitch - is anyone else that's crashing using it or similar?

Mention this on the front page aswell - SoD4.5 is not compatible with graphical enhancement packs.

Hmmmmm, Ok. Can someone who gets the bugs/crashes try this for me?

. Start the game.
. Start the mod.
. When you get to the main menu, use ctrl-alt-del to minimise the game.
. Go to the proscesses tab in the ctrl-alt-del task manager.
. Right click on the games processes icon and select "Set Afftinity" and de-selct one of the CPUs.
. Go back to the game and try to fight someone (or whatever set off your bug).
. If you can complete the fight, post back telling me the fix works.

YES! I just found the disk reinstalled everything, tested my theory and it has solved it for me!!! Hope this helped you guys  and thanks to Von for making such a great "BUG FREE" (almost) mod.

Hehe

Thanks Kalik. So could you describe your solution one more time in one brief message so I could post it on 1st page? Also maybe we should wait on at least one confirmation?

P.S.
About No Slavers anywhere bug... I investigated that. Extreeemly wierd! Slavers guilds should be located in each capital. There should be menu option in town menu to visit them (you saw it in alpha anyway). But it isn't there! I can't see why because noone changed anything in the code. Everything seems to be fine in module system! Very strange.

. Start your game and minimise it with ctrl-alt-del.
. Go to the processes tab of the task manager and right click on mount&blade.exe
. From the dropdown menu select "set affinity" and de-select one of the CPU.
. Play the mod and PWN!

Also Von, could you post this in the main front page so people know how to solve the crash problem.

YES! I just found the disk reinstalled everything, tested my theory and it has solved it for me!!! Hope this helped you guys  and thanks to Von for making such a great "BUG FREE" (almost) mod. No more BSOD and no more red error messages. It has also solved the merc quests for me . Just remember you have to set the affinity everytime you play the game.

I'm a little over 2 months game time and have yet to have any sort of CTD. My battlesizer is at 300, I've upped blood to 99 and most graphics are on med-med/high.

Specs: Intel Dual core 8500 Oc'ed 3.6
            ATI 4870 512
            4 gigs ram
            Windows Vista 64 bit

I've only seen a red script error once but no game breaking bugs for me so far.

Thanks. And that's what I'm talking about. People who don't have problems usually don't post here so we don't see them, unless they are such supportive community members as froggy So how this can be mod's bug if some people (if not MOST of the people) don't have crashes at all?

My specs for Kalik (though I don't suppose it has any meaning) It does not crash for me even if there are reinforcements:
AMD Atchlon64 X2 3600+
ATI Radeon x1950XTX
4 giga ram (my Windows XP sees only 3,2 gb)

The fact it doesnt crash for you is the very thing i need your specs for. 

Hmmmmm, Ok. Can someone who gets the bugs/crashes try this for me?

Oh, thanks you 2 for reminding me, please state if its been overclocked.

OK, I might MIGHT have figured out this problem of all theese random crashes. I need a few peoples help though to test my theory. Von, i need to know, do you ever get random crashes and what are the specs for your cpu, graphics card and ram? Also could a few people who have had these crashes tell me there specs for thier cpu, graphics card and ram. I may have a solution

Could you be more specific? It would be great but it might help if you tell where are you going with this.

Well basically, M&B being a relativley old game is not ment to be played on the computers we have now (technology having multiplyed expinentialy every year since 1996). So my theory (and i know this is a problem with some games) is that if the computer has an exeptionaly good, or even just quite good, piece of hardware then the system cant handle the fact that it is using all this computing power on such an easy piece of software to run. So if i could verify this with getting your specs and some other peoples who are having the crashes mabey I could suggest a simple way to bypass this depending on the circumstances and make it so it dosent use as much power on it.

EDIT: I got this idea when i got the bluescreen and found out that the python script was causing the crashes. So the only thing that could make the game act like this is if the CPU/RAM?Graphics Card is too highly powered. Unfortunately i cant test this theory as i have lost the disk for M&B and i just uninstalled it so i could re-install it.

When i get the bsod i get an .sys specific error message. So its something to do with python... but i have no idea what.

Yamchu said:

Kalik, are you sure its SoD which causes the bluescreens?

Bluescreens occurs because of hardware or driver errors, not(rarely) faulty mods

Yep, ive had it with no other mod/game/pice of software. Also no reslut from reinstalling.

CountVlad said:

Unfortunately it looks like most of these crash bugs could just be caused by M&B overloading... but if it's not happening on vonmistont's machine then it may not be that.
I've used various graphics mods (not at the moment though, so they're not the problem) that have crashed the game even though my machine should be capable of coping with any modern game (4GB RAM, 1GB Dedicated Graphics and Quad Core processor).
I'm getting a message telling me that the program has requested to close in an 'unusual' way (or something like that) less than a minute into a battle.

@Kalik: How did you sort it?

Click to expand...

Im not sure, i scanned for viruses but that came up with nothing, i changed the game options, still no result. ummm... i reinstalled the mod... hmmm was that a result? Ill be back in a minute. just gonna go check.

Well i sorted out the crashes and blue screens but as one of my missions for the Black Army i had to check out a village. So i went there and chose to fight off the attacker that were attacking them. i clicked on the button/link for it and i started getting blue screens for it again. Slightly annoyed... well i say slightly... anyways if anyone knows how to help just gimme a buz.

Looks like some installation corruption. Everything works fine here. I have no crashes, I just tested fight VIllianese vs Looters and everything seems to be perfect.

Click to expand...

So should i just redownload it or did the upload fail?
