Why does stronghold crusader keep crashing

He said that he did try that as well, but in that case the game crashes just after the game loads. Also, it should work in his way as well - only that way the way he tried to do it first - without GameRanger he wouldn't be able to find some players to play with.

The site has lots of instructions for setting up port forwarding for lots of routers and games. When checking it out be careful what you click as the site is funded by advertisements. Even when I start it with Gameranger it crashes after the loading screen. Find the games exe in the Steam folder, right click it, select Properties and then the Compatibility pane. There's a Dropdown menu where you can select which operating system to select compatibility mode for.

BTW, you write that "And now both of them crashes when I click the multiplayer button. Are there any messages related to the problems in Event Viewer? Still crash. Until now, I haven't really tried the multiplayer so I doesn't know if it worked or not. What do you mean with Event Viewer? Showing 1 - 4 of 4 comments. Frankeyboi View Profile View Posts.

Remember that to work properly installer requires the declared volume of space, plus GB of additional free space on the system drive. Otherwise, the games and the other software may not work correctly or even refuse to start. Also, do not forget to stop the antivirus for the time game installation — sometimes it interferes with the correct file copy, or delete files by mistake, mistakenly believing they are viruses.

By analogy with the previous solution, check for free space on HDD - both on where the game is installed, and the system drive. Often your saves are stored in a folder of documents, which is separate from the game itself. Sometimes the controls in game do not work because of the simultaneous connection of multiple input devices. Try disabling gamepad, or, if for some reason, you have two connected keyboards or mouses, leave only one pair of devices.

If your gamepad does not work, remember - the games usually officially support only native Xbox controllers. If your controller is defined in system differently - try using software that emulates the Xbox gamepad eg, xce - step by step manual can be found here. Check if the sound works in other programs. Then check to see if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game, and whether there is correct audio playback device selected, which is connected your speakers or headset.

I guess I could put the graphics on low but whats the point in that. I saw someone mentioned that the reason shadows were not able to be completely turned off is that was built in the engine which reminds me of the latest men of war assault squad which has the same thing. Have you tried to verify your steam cache as Charles of Tours mentioned? This may help with any corrupt or missing files, and if it's happening a lot I'd say this is likely the case somehow. Apart from the fact you mention it happens a lot, can you tie it down to any specifics?

Whenever you play a custom map, or whenever you build a church. Legends used to and still does freeze crash the game when the guard button is pressed during multiplayer, maybe a similar bug lives inside SHC2 yet to be found.

Looking at your specs I'd say I doubt it's a hardware compatibility issue. It pretty much happens when there are a lot of units on screen at once no matter what map you are on. It dosnt happen all of the time mind you but it does happen enough to be annoying. I wonder how much RAM and video RAM are being used when you have the max number of buildings and a huge amount of troops going.

I really think the issue is on their end and not any hardware issues on my end. Well, I too verfied the files as Charles of Tours suggested. I got another crash of the Crusader. Also, I am not sure if it is related to graphics settings. I never had any problems with freezes or FPS drops. The game runs shust fine on my machine in that respect. Now it is not such a big problem for players like us, who are organized on a forum and all connected via Steam friends list.

We could just set autosave to 5 minutes and if someone dropps we could just get all back in, reload the game have lost minutes at worst. But it must be a real problem for FireFly. They just want to play a casual game against a random opponent and thus have no chance to get back in after a crash.

That is really frustrating and FireFly are at danger of loosing a lot of players that way. Lets keep trying to help figure out where the problem is coming from and hopefully FireFly will eventually be able to get on top of it. Monitor resolutions or screen resolutions for that matter can often make a game crash, they've done it many a time with SH1 that I've seen on the firefly forum, maybe Nigel could be on to something there.

I've had one crash, which was today - after the end of testing Micha! So if crashes are re-occurring, it's because of one of three things:. We could test the hardware compatibility issue by changing things such as your monitor resolution. The other two aren't really in our control. As he points out, the anti-virus programs may be interfering with them. I excluded the SHC2exe processes in Microsoft Sec Essentials a few days ago and figured it would help and I just crashed tonight in a 2v1 with a lot of bldgs.

There wasn't one dervish at all but there were approx. At this point im guessing any problems are on there end and I really really wish they would get this addressed with a patch asap.

The multiplayer is dieing a slow death which is sad because when it works it is fun. Just to let you guys know, I have opened a ticket at the FireFly Technical Support and givem them what information I have gathered about my crashes using the methods Chris provided on page 1. Well I'm glad you managed to get something out of what I provided on page 1 Nigel, I'm also guessing that problems are on their end, hopefully they will soon release a patch after seeing what has been submitted to them.

I have not been able to open it yet well, I did not really try it , but I suggest that players should open a ticket with the FireFly technical service and post these Report. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community.
