I'm having trouble with CTDs with QF1.

I sincerely hate Windows 7. I cannot get the file to zip. I keep trying to send it to Zip and it says Read only, so I go into properties and click off read only and apply and click OK. It reverts back to read only automatically.

Anyway, I'm having trouble with a lot of CTDs on Quick Fix 1 and I was not having any CTDs on the previous 1.03 RC4.

Sorry I can't add file.

sounds like the update went to wrong location :blink:

try turning off UAC
try running as administrator

If all else fails, just upload !Main log.txt from \Logs (no zip necessary)

I had similar issues with Windows 7. Follow lodilefty's advice and run as administrator or turn off UAC (Google this if a new term) this fixes most Windows 7 issues. You can run as an administrator two ways, right click and select or go into properties and change.
Are you running the game as administrator?
Zipping in Windows 7 is actually easier than in any other operating system. Are you using the right click zip option?
Do not hate Windows 7 too soon, it lets you play all the old game you used to love.

One new problem I experienced with CTD is distant unload and review of Battle results on the ledger. Is this when it is crashing? If so, I see the same issue, so may be a bug.

I'm pretty sure I already have done all that, but I'll check again.

How do you turn off the UAC? I just thought of something. I turned it off on my old computer but I do not think I did for this one and cannot remember how.

I always run everything as administrator, so it is not that.

Thank you very much. I think that did it. I've been using the invasion of Saxony scenario to test it. Before the fixes suggested, I was getting a CTD every other turn or even more than that. Numerous messages during the turn of RoP has encountered an error.

Anyway, I just ran the scenario to see if the CTD fix worked for me and I did not have one CTD.

Thank you.
