CTD-I can't start the game

[Gepeto]

I brought the game yesterday, and I had just loaded the game two times with version 1.01. In this version I had a problem of CTD after starting the 1936 scenario, when the load bar was half the way (I think, maybe it was more advanced). I restarted the game and could play a little without problems (well, when I leaved the game it went directly to the desktop, but it happens me with CK, it isn't important for me, but I tell you for your information )

Now, after installing 1.02, in the first load screen, the game crashes exactly when the bar reaches the end, so I can't play this game (an it makes me mad, you should know I'm suffering a lot of stress of having this game on my hands and can't play it :wacko: )

Here are my system specs:

Here is some information about my game and system:

- It's the spanish version of the game, published by Friendware. Version 1.02

- I'm using Windows 98 4.10.2222 A

- I'm using an procesor AMD 2100 with 512 RAM

- I've got two hard drives, C has 564 MB free; D has 4'64 GB free (I obviously tried to install the game on D: )

- Version Direct X: 9.0b

- Video card is an NVidia gforce3 64 MB.

I've tried to put all the information you asked in the sticky, but the information of the video card maybe isn't exact (but it's an NVidia with 64 MB for sure) and the CPU (it was an AMD, but I'm not sure the number, it was around 2000) If it's needed, I can try again, but if you tell me where to look, I would be really gratefull.

Thank you very much for your help

Even though I don't have the Spanish version, everything else on my system is more or less in sync with what you have (AMD Athlon, 512 MB, NVidia video board, win98), and on my system the game runs without a hitch. So it must be some sort of setting or settings that's different between your system and mine.

You would suggest to take a look here http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147392 in order to optimise your system for use with the game. I suspect the AGP configuration on your system is causing the problem. A crash near the end of the loading bar usually indicates a problem with properly initializing the graphics enviroment for the game.

Thank you very much for your answer. I tried some of the things you say in the sticky, but didn't worked. In fact, the part related to the AGP was too much arid for me (and for my english, btw ) as I explain in this thread .

Anyway, thank you
