I am not sure if I am the only one, but after updating to 1.1 the game immediately crashes if trying to play with a custom faction. It seems to play fine with the standard factions. Prior to the update the game had never crashed at all for me, and allowed use of custom faction.
I don't know if it will make a difference but since the start of beta I've always deleted all custom races, sovereigns, and past game saves with each patch or update. I've never had any crash problems while I've known others with the same/similar hardware that didn't take the same measures that did have problems. Maybe you already took such precautions. If not it might be worth a shot. You can always move the files to some temp folder to test if you are attached to them. Just make sure you get them all. Even one can mess up the test.
i too am have the problem. have not tried with non custom, but i do have the map paq also
Me too.
Anyway, I'm getting ready to write this game off and move on. Sure like to hear some "we're working on it" quotes from Stardock, but it's the weekend...
In my first game with 1.1 I've had 5 or 6 crashes also - sometimes the 'blue screen of death,' sometimes the 'white screen of death,' and sometimes it just dropped out and left me on the desktop.
I also was using a custom faction. I'll try to delete it and rebuild it in 1.1.
I crashed with the old, pre-1.1 faction, but a new one seems to work fine.
As some have pointed out, if you're using a faction built before the patch, try remaking it.
A BSOD indicates a driver or hardware issue--you can use the exact message on it to help pinpoint the cause.
I am able to create a new custom faction and play with it without a crash. I wonder if it has to do with a specific ability that is being picked with the custom faction? If you could tell me exactly what options you pick when creating the custom faction that causes the crash I'm happy to try to repro it. Or if you want to attach the xml (from your my games/fallen enchantress/races/ directory) from your custom faction i'd love to check it out.
I am running the 1.11 patch (linked at the top of the support forum), so that may be worth trying if you are having this issue.
Installing the beta 1.11 patch appears to have fixed the crashes with the custom faction.
After reinstalling FE, and my custom faction, and installing the 1.11 patch, I am happy to note that I played a 3 hour session today with no crashes at all. My thanks to the Devs and the community for resolving these issues so quickly.
