Crashes before battle

[Primvs Sextvs Loverlord]

My Romani EB campaign has had this problem ever since I got deep into the campaign (240 BC).

What happens is that as soon as I click "enter battle," the camera zooms in on the characters on the map as usual and just as the battle loading screen begins to appear, the game instantly crashes to the desktop.

Have you installed the fixes? This might be solved by the sprite fix.

Yeah. I should've posted this earlier. I installed the fixes from the link provided in the game FAQ and the CTDs that occurred while entering a battle ended.

However, my v1.1 Romani campaign has encountered another problem. After every 4th or 5th battle, as soon as the fighting ends and I click the tickmark that's supposed to take me back to the campaign map, the game crashes. I couldn't find a fix for this problem in your FAQ. Help, please?

I'm playing 1.2, with the fixes, and while not guaranteed every 5th or 6th battle, I get the exact same crash. When I go to click end after reviewing battle results it crashes, its happened maybe 5 times out of 127 battles, maybe a dozen of those were sea battles.

Same problem here too... I'm getting them REALLY often... (like once every 6 battles)... I actually started auto resolving a lot of battles for fear of the CTD...(losing some I know I could win...)

But anyways... I'm now playing on windowed mode and I haven't seen them for a while... (but then, I haven't played that much lately..)

Could someone experiencing this play windowed mode too? Just to see if thats the fix?

I'm getting this, too ... fairly consistently after every 5-7 battles.

WinXP SP2

Upgraded my drivers for my Radeon HD 3600 to 8-12 (latest version) and thought I'd licked the crash. Played 21 battles as Romani with no crash, then, whammo. Now I'm getting a crash about every six battles again, always at the end of the battle after getting the battle report and clicking to go back to the strategic map.
