Empire: Total War Message Board  

Am pretty sure you're getting sick of seeing these topics in this part of the site, but, I'm gettin the same problem as them.

I downloaded all the patches to see if any worked, and it crashes after the bar gets to about 5% on the loading screen.

I went on google to find a trainer for v1.5.0, came accross a CheatHappens trainer on GameBurnWorld, and that crashes too.

Q. 1) what OS you using?
A. XP Pro, Service Pack 3.

Q. 2) what ver of game (steam? retail? illegal 'scene' download? modified .exe from somewhere else? mod?)
A. I bought the game, installed but Steam patched it, so I guess Steam?

Q. 3) do you have addons installed? which ones?
A. Nope.

Q. 4) WHEN does the game crash? can you repeat it same way each time?
A. On the loading screen after clicking 'Continue', or when clicking on or near my nation's capital.

Q. 5) do ANY of the options work?
A. On the rare occasions that I get passed the loading screen (Going to Load instead of Continue sometimes works), none of the options work. I've tried pressing a hotkey for Gold then buying a unit or building to see if that helps, and it doesn't. I do the same for the cheat to decrease construction time to 1, and that doesn't work either.

All my other topics on this site have been ignored, out of all of them I've only ever had about 2-3 replies, all of which haven't really been of help. But they weren't really important, but this is more important, so please don't ignore this one too.

Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

Sorry, but as said multiple times before, we are unable to replicate this issue. Perhaps when the next patch is released, it will correct the problem.
