So I am playing BOTET 1.5 as Empire (Reikland) on VH/VH and have expanded a lot, taken over most of South Bretonnia and Athel Loren and am now at war with the Skaven, expanding southward. But when I besiege a city (e.g. Miragliano) and try entering the battle, the game crashes during the load screen.

Currently I am circumventing this bug by either auto-resolving or holding the defenders so long under siege until they are defeated or sally out.

This is not enemy faction specific because I have attacked not just cities under Skaven control but also a rebel city in Tilea and it crashed.

Sieges work for me without crashes on other parts of the map e.g. in the Empire.

Has anyone else encountered this bug?
