Mod keeps crahing on me

Users who are viewing this thread

I had the same problem.  Two different solutions, depending on why it crashes:

1 - download the final official patch for 1.011, which is slightly SMALLER than the one normally linked to by the M&B support page.  I don't recall how I found the link a year or two ago, but there are two identically named patches, and you want the smaller one.  If the game is locking up, and reloading a previous save loads properly, but locks up again just a few seconds or minutes later, then this is probably the main culprit.

2 - search for a LAA "large memory address aware" utility which can alter a .exe file to use more than 2Gb of RAM.  The game can currently only address up to 2Gb, no matter how much your PC has, and some mods will run out of RAM.  This is definitely one of them; TLD and 1866 are other M&B mods with the same problem.  Run such a 3Gb or 4Gb utility (there are quite a few free ones out there), choose the M&B .exe file, and it will search for and change the memory limits.  I went from crashes every 15-30 minutes to 2 crashes in 6+ months of occasional play.
