Units cause CTD, but CAS file & ways are OK

Hello!

I faced a very strange problem. I have got British and Germanic units sharing one DMB entry. And another British and Germanic units sharing one DMB. In both cases only British units loads without any problem and they can happily run through the battlefield. But both Germans cause CTD. The textures present in the right directories, all ways are written correct into the DMB. Officers switched off in EDU for this problematic units. So what might cause the problem?

Also there are some weird thing with my other units. Again, all ways written correct, both CAS file and texture are in the right place. When I import the CAS file from my switch mod into 3ds max it has no problems importing, it even finds his texture. But in the game it causes CTD while loading battle.

The mod is mod foldered, there is -nm -show_err line in the shortcut, but it says nothing. Only RTW-BI offers to send report to Microsoft about the crash. All models have less then 33 elements. The unit limit is not reached yet.

Did you checked the sprites' entry?

Sure, they all use Vanilla julii peasant sprite as a placeholder, as well as many other which are OK.

Make a copy of one of your units that works and give it the same name as one of the units that causes a CTD, then test it. If it works you'll know the problem is with the model, if it doesn't you'll know there's a mistake with the files.

I made the British unit available to Germans, and as both use same DMB, automatically this unit received his German texture for the British unit, and everything was OK. It seems smth wrong with the EDU entry.

Maybe you need to add in DMB the same texture but with entry for british?

I solved the problem with the Germanic-British unit. The problem was in the officer line. I deleted it for British units but not for Germanic, when I deleted that line for Germanic unit, I had no CTD. However I do not know how that it is possible to cause CTD, because that particular officers works for another units of that factions.
