I really appreciate it, I can play the game now again. Really makes a big difference and it does not go unoticed when you go the extra mile for your customers.
Thanks man, I guess I just wasted my time deleting all those numbers hehe. I will try this in game now. I included the XML file I made using your code for people who just want to D/L and drop in the mods directory. I made an XML file(I deleted all those numbers lol) http://filebin.ca/owjfbg/CTD_FIXER.xml
There is a fix for this posted by a user in these forums.
Any way to get a version w/o numbers? I am deleting the numbers takles a long time but I am accidently deleting other stuff, so I have restarted deleting numbers like 3 times out of paranoia I deleted an important line of code
Thanks man this sounds very promising
Can you give me a little detailed explanation on how to install this? I have never worked with XML files before. For starters I don't have a mods directory and then I am not sure should the numbered lines be copied into the XML file?
Should my XML file have numbers going down the side like in your code there or just the code itself?
Alright I don't have a mods directory that I can see where do I need to creat it and how should I name this XML file?
If this works man, you will have made me very very happy
Would these files cause a lot of CTDs by any chance?
The only thing I did was add that mod that gives me more clothing and item options for characters, anyone had any crashes due to this? I am getting a ton of crashes. But I can't see how the files I dropped in for items could hurt anything.....
slipstream patch did fix hero recruitment(for me)
So try installing and older driver like something before 10.2 that might get you back where you were. Then upgrade when you can. In fact the artifacts you had might have been due to older drivers in the first place. But hopefully you can easily get your system back up with older drivers. And then you can do this elaborate fix if you like.
Ok man this looks like to could be a doozy to fix this was taken from this post http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=279&threadid=130425&STARTPAGE=2&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear Here is his initial problem Hello all. Quick background, I'm a system b
[quote who="cmcnary" reply="13" id="2777729"]@Fearzone, @davidjc_af: Yeah, I've tried installing from Catalyst "full", and a "manual" install (which still runs Catalyst, really) from the ATI website you linked to. It goes through the whole install, then says "Install Failed" for the display driver, with no other explanation.[/quote] let me see if I can find out why, I usually can fix stuff like this.
Yeah its the same bug that is affecting archery right now there is a community made fix posted in support forums. Just cut and paste into the XML and it's fixed.
Good to see others share my misery
[quote who="Vyarloq" reply="10" id="2777717"]I just thought I'd offer my 2 cents. I am running Win 7 64 bit Premium with a Sapphire 5770 ATI graphics card, 8GB ram, 60GB SSD for C: drive and a 320 GB Velociraptor HDD for the games directory. Windows Experience rated at 7.0 (hdd limit). Unless my 100% failure to hit with a bow is due to my graphics drivers, I have no game problems related to the hardware. I updated to 1.08 with no troubles. I have had intermittent
Did you try installing this driver here? Should be the 5000 series ATI drivers. You can just follow the instructions I can't imagine it not working if ti doesn't post here again. http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon-win7-64.aspx (first link download at the top)
[quote who="Techubus" reply="10" id="2777677"] Quoting davidjc_af, reply 8 Quoting Frogboy, reply 5What is happening specifically in battles? I.e. it is just crashing or is something happening at the time? the CTDs seem to be related to special ability usage in battle. For instance an air elemental uses it's special ability in battle. I see the start of the animation (hand go up in the air) but then it CTDs right there on the spot before it finishes. I'm seeing the
[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="187" id="2777520"]I have not had EVEN 1 crash. The performance of the game is incredible now. I seriously doubt that there are so many crashes, your greatly over exaggerating. You are obviously having an issue, but its most likely just one crash issue. Did you try starting a new game? When does it crash? Posting your DEBUG file is EXTREMELY easy. All you have to do is upload one file, how much easier could it be? It takes a whole 2 minutes TOPS.[/quot
[quote who="cmcnary" reply="3" id="2777665"]Well, I wiped my drivers, and now Catalyst "fails" to install, so I have no video drivers. Thank you very much, Stardock. Now, instead of having a game that I paid $50 that doesn't work, I paid $50 to break my computer. What is wrong with you people that you would release a product in a state like this?!?[/quote] ROFL, I don't know that sucks. I have a 4870 ATI card and it works fine...as far as the graphics
