The grand strategy wargame formula is back in the mix, this time withImperator: Rome. Brought to us by Paradox Interactive, thegameserves as a sequel to the well-known Europa Universalis: Rome game.

In terms of timeline, the action is set between the foundation of the Roman Empire, till onset of the Diadochi Wars. The map is set in the Iberian peninsula, featuring more than 7000 cities, with this many terrain to go by, all nations present in thegameare playable.

As we’re more and more familiar, no game launch can be deemed flawless. And Imperator:Rome is no exception to this. With unrest amonst the gaming legionaries on Steamthreads, pointing out to game crashes, black screens, save issues, map problems and thegamenot synch-ing properly withSteam.

With all this being said and done, we’ve compiled a list of common bugs reported by users.

Common Imperator: Rome issues:

1. Black screen

Sometimes when you’re launching thegame, the only thing you’ll see is a black screen.

I’m having an issue that whenever i launch thisgame, i get a black screen, cursor show that it’s loading, but if you click on it, it goes white, then pop up the not responding with the option to close or wait for it to respond.

2. Savegame problems

Numerousplayershave reported having troubled with saving their progress, requiring that they start a newgame. With problems carrying over when they load a previously savedgame.

So I have a problem, my savegame got somehow corrupted. When I want to load and continue playing (unpause) thegamefreezes. It doesn’t work with other savegasmes also

3. Connection issues

There have been reports of legionaries facing connectivity problems with their accounts. Mostly being related to theirSteamaccounts not synch-ing with theirgame.

I can login inside the game…but when I try to bind the account toSteam, I get a POP_error

4. Game crashing

Some people have experienced thegamecrashingat various points in thegame, with no particular pattern.

The game keepscrashingat random intervals and I get a CrashReporter.exe – ApplicationErrorthat says: The Application was unableto start correctly (0x000007b). The game usuallycrashesafter a few minutes. Any known fixes for this?

5. Game freezing up

There are instances ofplayerswho weren’t able to play due to it freezing up, the occurrence taking place when they start playing the actualgame.

My computers specs are perfectly fine and the game loads great all the way until I start to actually play. Within a couple of minutes ofgameplaythe entire thing just freezes. The audio is still in tact and makes noises when I hover the cursor over objects in thegame, however visually everything just freezes

6. Multiplayer problems

Forming an alliance with a friend is part of the great aspects of thegame. But when this isn’t possible, we’re bound to exile.

Almost every time when I want to load a MP game that i play with a friend, i get the message that the alliance is broken with him (When i’m in the server lobby!!!!). When i start thegamei get the message a second time and the alliance is gone. I can form the alliance directly after that.

7. No sound

We all love to immerse ourselves in the world pictured in Imperator, but some users have reported thegamehaving no sound whatsoever.

There is no sound at all. That can’t be right. Is it? Even in Settings, you can select ‘Audio’, but there is nothing in that selection. Any ideas??

8. Endless validation

It’s all fun and games when you get thegamein yourSteamlibrary, but when thegameis stuck in an andless validation loop, there’s no laughing matter here.

Downloaded thegamelate last night, opened it up and set all the settings to max graphics. Opened it this morning and said exe was invalid. I then validated thegame, it said 1 file had issues and after validating would stop and then begin to validate again. It has been doing this for over 5 minutes; each loop is about 30 seconds.

How do you like thegameso far? Do you rule your empire with iron fist or do you run vouch for peace? Let us know in the comment section down below.
