I don't know about fixing the crashes (as I don't know what is responsible for it) but you can set SHC2 to auto save, just like SH3. Head to the: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stronghold Crusader 2\assets folder and open the file "config.xml" in a text editor (i.e. Notepad). Find: and replace the numbers next to the equal sign with what you need. Interval is how often (in seconds) the game will auto save and max_files is how many saves the game will allow. The following example will save the game automatically every five minutes, and allow a total of 6 saves at any one time before it over writes: You can also set some debugging information for when the game does crash in this file as well, which will give you a bit more info on what isn't working or going wrong. To do this, find: and replace with: This may also help. Find: replace with: The dump file created when the game crashes is located in the following directory: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppCrash_Crusader2.exe Thanks to @Nigel for finding the directory!

There are no drivers for it, it's not just software compatibility it's also hardware compatibility. I attempted to use a Windows 7 driver but that didn't work so there's practically nothing that can be done. :(

Vista is installed but there are no drivers for it and it can't connect wirelessly to anything at all (as it needs a wireless driver and well, it's a never-ending loop). So it's pretty much a spare backup hard drive that I'll just have to store files on.

Indeed. ;) A battle well won Mathew.

The OP was uploading a RAR file, I've given him instructions on how to create a zip archive and am waiting for him to reply back to me via email. There are no other technical issue with uploading/editing files as they've all been fixed a few days back.

Actually Mathew, it's still linking to your image rather than the thread. :/

5 more days to get your signature completed everyone! Remember that the image must link to this thread and you must post your entry here also.

I've split the thread into site questions/support. Here is the link: http://forums.stronghold-nation.com/topic/313-unable-to-submit-file/ The only reason I didn't earlier is because I thought @denn1s33 may have not understood where the post had been moved to and wanted to try and get the issue sorted first.

I've replied to you through email.

Can you attach the file you are attempting to upload in this thread for me to take a look? You go to "post reply" (under my post) and then under the space to type your message there is space for the attachment to be uploaded.

Hi @denn1s33, Sorry for the problems you've been having. You are uploading the file inside a zip archive aren't you? Can you attach it here in the thread for me so I can take a look? EDIT: I've promoted you to a member, you should be able to attach files to your forum posts now.

If you only want staff to view your email, then you should add an "admin note" in: your profile -> essentials But I don't really think it's worth it, I may add it in elsewhere at some point but it's certainly not at the top of the list right now. Do also note that you can use the PM to contact users about other email addresses and if you dign up with email X, you have to be prepared that you will liekly be contacted through it. You can also change your email at any time: profile -> essentials -> change email

Yeah, I'm using a partition for each. Though 8 will need the most, I'll give Vista just over what it needs, especially if I'm going to be playing Crusader on it (or attempt installing it). Otherwise I'd just use it for backups so it wouldn't need loads of space. But I do admit with Windows 8 you miss the interface of Windows 7 & Vista, I'm looking forward to getting animated backgrounds again! In total I have 451 GB on my PC, 287 is used on 8 (but my backup of 77.9 GB is currently transferring over) so I'll probably give Vista 100 GB, maybe more or less depending on what the drivers need. He's already downloaded the correct drivers for my PC so it shouldn't be too hard. I would rather have 7 but I installed 7 over Vista on my old laptop and I have a spare Vista key, so...

Yes, I never thought of it in that way, I'll leave it up to you. :) Good luck on your project, and apologies to @Nigel for my misunderstanding!

I've got to be honest, I honestly don't really know, it's my friend who knows all that stuff. I'm much more software oriented than hardware, hence why he's helping me with it. The main problem I'll have is getting the resource usage right - Windows 8 is a lot bigger than previous operating systems because it's nearly all colours, and they don't compress.

Yes, these are only some of the updates, I'm also removing the user subscriptions (firstly, who actually uses them?) and the favourites and replacing it with download section subscriptions (when a new file is approved for download section X, you'll get an email if you want) and the same for files, the equivalent of topics here on the forum. On the forum, you can scroll down the page and click the "subscribe" link to be emailed new replies to that topic - the exact same thing will be available in the downloads section for files in a few days. I'll post a proper announcement out soon about the status, I've been updating a lot lately, including the gallery!

I believe it's been added in (along with avatars and other stuff from the forum) but the new items tag hasn't been tested yet, whereas everything else has been. Here is an example, it just happens to be Lord Vetka's latest file: http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/file/175-admindle/

Personal discussion/conversations should really be held over the PM (unless it was a general question for everyone and I misunderstood?). I'll leave the thread open this time, but you know for future reference :)

Regarding what is/isn't acceptable for posting, the site rules pretty much sum it up for you: http://forums.stronghold-nation.com/rules/

Thanks for letting us know the problem is fixed, but please don't add new replies just stating things like "last post edited with reply" as it's a fairly pointless message. Double posting is acceptable providing several hours have passed so you should be fine to add that as a new message.

I won't make Monday, we won't be starting until late afternoon. But I should make the next one (if my OS doesn't break, which is highly unlikely, but still isn't a chance of zero)

I've spent all day working on the last (known) bug in the downloads section (apart from the one above) and now when you update your files it's not only more secure, but quicker as well. I'm making the files there more like topics so users can subscribe/unsubscribe to files and they will get notified about all replies after - it's easier than how it is now. And there will also be notifications of new comments/reviews on files as well when it's complete. It will take an hour at the most to add in, and I can completely see the benefits so it's at the top of the to-do list tomorrow. :)

If you see anything (or anything comes to mind) that you would like a Stronghold Crusader 2 tutorial on, feel free to add a post here and request a tutorial for it. :)

I haven't had time to fix it yet, thanks for reminding me though as I'll get on to it tomorrow. It must be a fluke this time.

I'm doing a dual boot with one of my friends on Monday, they'll install Vista on my PC as well as my Windows 8, so I should be able to get Crusader installed on that, hopefully I'll get a game soon.
