This is really annoying I've been playing for awhile now and when i hit end turn sometimes it would freeze but the music would still play and when i waited like a min it would unfreeze.  Now it is freezing and the music plays but all video and mouse movement freezes.  It wont even let me minimize the game unless i do cnrtl alt delete.  HELP PLEASE!!

The same thing happened to me, and the one thing I could do to fix it was to re start.  It really bothered me but the saved game file was corrupt.

Is there some particular bug with Bactria you have encountered Emperor?

How much ram are you using m1a2u2... also, what kind of name is that?

I heard of a bug that every four turns you play as Bactria, the game freezes.

He had said Rome.

I had the same problem.  It would freeze up when I pressed the continue turn button.  The only thing I could do was delete the game.  Maybe something else will work for you though.

Happens to me once in a while, typicly whilst computing the Rebel's move (or just there after), worst thing is that the autosave will just keep bringing it back.
Best to save manualy every turn or two, and reload that one if it ever happens.

Even in MTW, I manually save atleast every 5 turns or so. You never know when a corrupt game file will pop up.

Have a game spanning over 200 years and have not had any freezes as Rome. Most of the freeze problems people encounter are suppose to be fixed in 6.1.

Btw, RTR is the most played mod for the Total War series being downloaded over 200,000 times!

It should allow you to restore your game in once piece should the problem happen again.

Thank god I stumbled on this forum.  I'm having the same problem and was beside myself.  I was so upset I deleted the entire game from my system.  Now I can reload it and try it again. 

Thanks guys.
