CTD on January 1

[EmprorCoopinius]

Hello, I just downloaded the linked English version of IFU. Installation went fine, but on January 1 a large number of events trigger at the same time and the game crashes to desktop. I've tried pausing the game quickly to clear some of the events, but it crashes too quickly. Any idea as to what the problem is? Thanks.

I've never seen this happen before...Not very many events actually happen on January 1. Did you install it correctly? You will extract a THE IFU folder into the base EUII folder. (Due to my editing the original zip version). You then have to extract the contents of the THE IFU folder into a clean patched install of the EUII folder, then run the unlimited time patch in the EU folder (after extracting either the 9x or the xp version from the unlimited folder)

I also have this issue despite installing the IFU scenario in the correct location (the root EU2 directory) and running the EU Unlimited program to start EU2 version 1.05.

For me it will hold onto the original date of 751 briefly, until about the 2nd or 3rd on January and then jump to 1451 which causes the explosion of events and the crash of EU2.

I don't know what is wrong yet. Maybe have to reinstall EU2??

Are you sure you have installed the unlimited patch correctly? The problems you describe is exactly what happens if it is not used.

For me personally, I did run the program (EU2 version 1.05) through the EU Unlimited program. I installed the EU Unlimited patch for 9x into the root EU2 folder and ran through the batch file.

Perhaps I just need to reinstall EU 2 (and the upgrade for 1.05)and try again....

I have the same problem.I have tried twice installing EU2 "clean",have applied the patch correctly and all,but the game crashes to desktop because of the events.

Hrmm.

I installed to the correct directory and put the files in correct locations, and also installed the correct version of the eu2 unlimited patch. The game doesn't even make it past January 1, 751, it just triggers a mass of events and CTD's.

The date changing to 1419 (and hence crashing due to event overload) is definitely an EU2Unlimited issue. I don't think reinstalling EU2 will help; however, reinstalling EU2Unlimited (and reading its help files) very well might.

(I haven't experienced any problem, though I already had EU2Unlimited installed, and didn't use the version that was packaged with IFU.)

ok i worked out what my problem was. Initially i had run the unlimited patch then a bit later opened EU2. When i ran EU2, alt-tab'd and ran the patch, everything worked fine

 

[EmprorCoopinius]

Sigh, I'm such a moron

I got it to work fine, I was clicking the shortcut the patch made to original eu2, thus the crash. Stupid stupid me.

I got the german archive to run,but the events that caused the original crash,now dont even appear.Is it a problem or are they simply not included?

If you no longer get all these events at the start and the ctd then your game is working. You should see plenty of events later on.
