Rome II

[Kushan]

You said you noticed an improvement with past eight did you mean patch nine just came out? have you not updated to patch 9 yet?

I meant I'm getting better performance with patch 9 vs what I was getting in 8. I was getting some fairly frequent random lag and slowdowns, mainly when opening any of the menu's (recruitment, city, encyclopedia, etc). Haven't noticed any since upgrading to patch 9.

Okay discovered the first thing that I really don't like about vanilla other then certainty graphics uniform. Agents... I have an enemy agent parked outside of one of my cities and every time he destroys every single building inside the city and every time I have to build it again,but I can't kill him because he's so high ranked that I can't get to him. So I downloaded a cheat mod which prevents agents from destroying your buildings. I don't mind assassinations of things it's just ridiculous one agent should be able to sneak in and burned out every single building in my settlement every every time

Whats the name of the mod ?  I'll have to look that up, the patch nine agents are brutal in the CIG DLC, brought my conquest to standstill with all the agent spam.

I've had good luck against enemy agents by clicking the little red button in the lower left corner of MY agents screen activating their ability to detect and prevent ENEMY agents actions. If my agents aren't experienced enough to stand a chance against them when you click on assisinate or manipulate, then using their anti-agent abilities often results in the enemy agents foiled or wounded during the enemies turn. It seems to work more often than not.

[Skoop]

whoa I didn't even know about the red button, I'll check that out.

I have a Button-Pushing Syndrome. I have to compulsively push them all. So they won't let me near an airplane cockpit during flight. ;D

Can't remember now and not near computer.
On the steam mod shop I just search "agents" and it popped up.

[Martok]

go to your game in steam

right click

properties

local files

click on verify integrity of game cache - its a bit like disk scan - itll go through the files looking for corrupt data

Gah!  The game is still CTD'ing with the new patch!  :'( 

if it crashes on startup, Martok, I would try to do a clean reinstall if the verifying cache integrity option in STeam doesn't work.

The whomajigawhatnow?  :o  Please help a poor dumb Klingon understand.  (You can use small words with me; I won't be offended. ;) )

Right click on game. Click "delete local content". Once done, click on "install" and re download.
Once it's re downloaded try again. You have a left over mod/beta in there

Thanks guys.  Am validating the files right now.  If they're bad, I'll go ahead and reinstall. 

[Yskonyn]

It will automatically copy good files over those that are bad.
If this option doesn't work, you might have some other left-over files from mods or so causing issues. In that case I would recommend purging your hard drive from all that is Rome 2. Check your My Documents and your Windows User folders too.
Then reinstall.

If this doesn't work either, then my bet is you're running drivers that don't want to play nice.

Well I've already begun a reinstall after deleting all local files (the validation didn't work), so we'll see what happens. 

If this doesn't work either, then my bet is you're running drivers that don't want to play nice.

Except that the game was running just fine until patch 9, so I have to wonder why the drivers would suddenly be a problem now.  ??? 

[mikeck]

Let us know what happens after the complete reinstall if you're still having a problem just make sure your drivers updated ...maybe something with patch nine just doesn't agree with your older drivers

could be an update to a shader or you know....... stuff

[Gusington]

Yeah either 'stuff' or 'things'

Will do.  Still reinstalling -- it's going to be over three hours by the time I'm done.  :(

Could be the transmission or the catalytic converter

  Okay.  I laughed.  It's the oxygen sensor.
