When I am about to enter a battle, the game crashes, and if I go to one of the campaign menus then back to custom battle it also crashes. How do I fix this?
I am also having this problem. I've been playing the game for two days now, and when i started palying today, it suddenly wouldnt let me do any of my campaign battles or a custom battle. The second it gets done loading i see the battle field for a split second then it crashes saying "Medieval 2 has encounted an unspecified error" or whatever it says.
Anyone have an answer to our problem?
I am also suddenly getting this error today. Been playing for months since version 3.1 came out with no problems until today. Now the game crashes whenever it tries to load a campaign battle or custom battle. Was fine just yesterday, and I have not changed a thing since the 3.1 patch months ago. Vanilla 3.1 installation.
Last night was daylight savings? Could that have affected it?
Update!! I believe daylight savings may in fact be the problem. Just tried unclicking the "automatically adjust for daylight savings" checkbox on the Windows date/time and custom battle loaded fine without crashing.
There must be something in the mod that is looking at the date/time and it's getting screwed up by daylight savings.

Where is this automatically adjust for daylight savings option at? I couldn't find it under my date and time settings.
You look great today.
Lets keep this topic on top so every casual players can still manage to play. It would also give it a chance to be seen and fixed by the TATW team?
I do not believe that this is a TATW problem. Very few people have reported this error and I have not experienced it either.
There must be something else in common with everyone that has reported the problem. Same language version, gold v. non-gold, steam v. boxed, hardware configuration, operating system settings, anti-virus protection etc.

It may be only affecting some people but it is still a TATW problem. Even if it only effects people who run Windows ME in Swahili, it's still a TATW problem. No other programs are being affected and multiple people are reporting this issue.
I was able to play TATW 2.x on this same machine for over two years and did not run into this bug. Now the combination of TATW 3.x and running into daylight savings causes the mod to crash on the battle map.

Mine happened and I'm playin the game on a Mac. I doubt the others experiencing the problem were using the same system. But I was playing it on windows 7..?
I am curious as to find out why it happened. Almost like...Y2K..
I had exactly the same problem last night and I'm glad to see that there looks like a fix. I'm playing Vanilla 3.1 on a Mac using Windows Vista via Bootcamp. Previously I'd had zero crashes and suddenly I crashed every time I tried to fight a battle. I did a quick check with a Medieval II battle and that seemed to work fine so it appears to be limited to The Third Age. I'll try the fix tonight and hopefully get back to playing.
I have the same problem, haven't tested the fix yet, but will get around to doing that sometime soon. Glad it seems things have worked out. Hopefully this will be addressed by the team, there is definitely something strange about it.

Just wanted to report that unchecking the clock auto daylight savings time fixed this for me and I'm back to playing Third Age. Hopefully the fix for this isn't too hard to incorporate into the next release. Thanks to everyone for posting the fix to this problem.
I want to report that I experienced the crash due to day light savings, and still after changing the time settings in User Accounts on Vista 64, it still crashes at the start of battles involving settlements...
have totally erased and completely reinstalled, and not working still.
game worked beautifully before day light savings
Can anyone tell me exactly how to solve this problem? I cant follow everything.
