Field battle crash, system log included

[Aenima]

I've got SS6.1 and RR and RC installed. Every time I fight a battle it just crashes to the desktop saying "unspecified error has occurred, M2TW will now exit"

Did you install both parts 1 & 2 of SS?

[Aenima]

Did you install both parts 1 & 2 of SS?

yeah, i also uninstalled and reinstalled it, doin them each 2 times cos ive heard that the installer can miss it out, and my system log is still the same.

[Caesar Clivus]

Is it the latest version of RR/RC that you're using (i.e. did you download it from the RR/RC thread in the submods forum?) If so then this is still in beta and you should post this in that thread.

If not, then what are you doing when it crashes? Who are you playing as, who are you fighting with and where are you fighting?

[Aenima]

Im using the RR and RC add ons that come with SS6.1, and ive got the data.zip added to RR as apparently its needed to run it properly.

Im playing as Sicily, Bari is under siege. Every time I try to assault it just CTD, and says 'M2TW has encountered an unspecified error, will now shut down'

EDIT- it also happens if i try any other fight- custom battle or as any faction against anyone

EDIT no2- i also just reinstalled 6.1, leaving out any of the add-ons as ive seen advised somewhere else. the system log is still the same but it still has the same result of crashing on a battle loading screen

[Aenima]

rebump (if that word even exists)

[axnsan]

try a complete reinstall (ie uninstall m2tw, then install it back, patch to 1.2,patch to 1.3, install kingdoms, install ss part 1 and 2 and apply 6.1 patch)

[Gorrrrrn]

the problem might be down to the graphics card / drivers -

try reducing the level of detail a notch or 2 and see if the problem persists.

otherwise expanded FAQ #16 on how to turn trace on so we get a better idea of the problem.

thanks man, i toned down the graphics quite a lot but still no change.

i also used step 16 in the FAQ and checked my config to change it as it said but it was already correct, so i have no idea what it could be

In the stainless_steel_kingdoms.txt file in m2tw\mods\stainless_steel_6.
Edit the [log] entry so it looks like this:
[log]
to = logs/system.log.txt
level = * trace
;level = * error

now play until you get a crash again and upload your system log (or copy the last about 100 lines )

just did that- the system log is mad, is there supposed to be that much stuff in there now? as asked for, heres the last 100 or so lines

[Gorrrrrn]

looks like there's file missing relating to the crusader captain / teutonic captain ?

or maybe it's not finding it in one of the packs?

[Aenima]

sorry, not very good with computesr- could you tell me how to go looking for it? and, assuming that they arent there (although they should be since I did a full kingdoms installation) could you tell me how to get em on? thanks a lot man

It should be right where your log said it couldn't find it.

[axnsan]

try this:
unpack the file in your medieval2 folder

[Aenima]

thanks for tryin mate, but no luck with that either. tried it three times and all times had a CTD
