Crash entering battle.

[Zaratt]

M2TW patched 2 times by the Kingdoms disk, then Kingdoms, then patched to 1.5, then SS6 part 1 and 2, then 6.1 patch.
Only ticked the "remove supply" traits box.
Crash every time I try to enter battle with Lithuanians, in campaign and in custom battle, succeeded doing a quick battle Templars Vs Cumans.
Lithuanians work fine in the Teutonic campaign of Kingdoms.
Don't know how to use the spoiler thingy so here are the several last lines of log, sorry for the length of it.

03:29:11.468 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

Help very much appreciated.

[Gorrrrrn]

thanks for system log info.

and now the sad bit - despite your good work the system log file let's down by not showing what the problem was.

suggestions are the usual ones:

try re-installing SS 6.0 pts 1 and 2 again and 6.1 patch and see if that works - sometimes the installer misses files (apparently)

try the 6.2 patch and see if that makes a difference.

try turning down the detail on the video settings

[Zaratt]

Thank you for the answer, I tried all that too, sadly.
Sometimes I get past the loading screen, to have a battle or a crash as soon as I press "deploy"....
Other mods, (KGCM, for instance) and vanilla kingdoms work fine, but I want to play SS !

[Gorrrrrn]

Zaratt

sorry to hear of continuing problems.

very frustrating - for you obviously - but also for us as we know the game does play perfectly well (usually) and there shouldn't be an issue in just loading up battles for a particular faction.

If you are getting the problem with the 6.2 patch as well, then the problem has to be at your end.

What is your current graphics card and driver version? (SHouldn't be an issue if you can load other battles.)

I'll have a look in last trace file and see if I can spot the place where the game falls over for you. Oh dear - sorry I my last file was only an error trace not the full trace.

SO a shout out to anyone with a full trace file - can you check to see what happens after the line before Zaratt's unspecified error please.

(I'll try turning on full trace and load a custom lithuanian battle to see what happens this evening.)

[Gorrrrrn]

OK I did a custom battle with lithuania

No problems (I chose all available units - from early campaign anyway)

Looked at a trace file and it seems the game is not picking up the lithuanian unit .tga files.
Mine appear to be in the SS/data/ui/units/lithuania file

Can you confirm that you have the units there?
