Kalam maintains a banner pack that you can install to see clans' custom banners.  They will replace the native banners.  In most cases they look much better.

Arked maintains a pack of more historical 'vintage' somewhat authentic looking banners.  Silly ones not allowed

Ah, I see.

Well I'll worry about that once I get the mod to work right for me, as it stands now I can't really play it so having those would be a bit useless.

I assume you use onboard sound and not a dedicated sound card?

are you using updated nvidia drivers?

Yes, I'm using onboard sound, Realtek if I'm not mistaken.

Current Nvidia drivers are, 280.26 which is what I am currently using.


DXdiag time maybe there will be some issues someone might catch that I didn't.
Though my sounddrivers are probably out of date, so I'll try updating those.

-EDIT-

Just updated the audio drivers from 6.0.1.6167 to 6.0.1.6449, lets see if that does the trick... something's telling me it wont but oh well.

well if you really wanted to rule sound out, you could disable the onboard sound in your bios temporarily.  i still think its a hard drive issue.  is your hard drive 4 years old or more? IDE or SATA?

Less than a year, and sata. It's not the hdd, other games run fine, and the game native runs fine, it's just this mod that does it so I'd imagine it's something weird going on with the files and something else on my pc.

Maybe where the files are on the hdd is a bad sector but I highly doubt it.

-Edit-
Also, just tried with new sound drivers and it still locks up a bit.

also found this log file, I wonder if the mem issue is the reason :x though if that were the case, one would assume it would just stop working and not recover like it does... idk.

Alright, disabled my onboard sound in the bios and the issue still persists so I think I can safely rule that out.

So, I uninstalled/reinstalled, tried it on my other HDD, and the issue still persists... maybe I should just give up on playing this mod.

Holy patootie, that fixed the issue. was able to play ~30minutes today without it locking up once :D

Thanks a bunch <3 :oops:


-edit-
Side note: I first tried it by installing both the optimization along with the sounds, which is what I said fixed the issue, but after I was curious, so I installed just the sounds optimization and the issue came back, so whether its the sounds and something with textures (you never know) or just the textures that cause it alone, I am unsure.
