    Default Night goblin campaign crash on turn 1

    I get an unspecified error CTD in the night goblin campaign when ending turn after the first turn in the patched version 1.02.
    I tried doing things like construction and army placement different but it didn't help.

    Installed everything according to the instructions, and I have the german gold version, but I doubt that's the problem as I played several turns in the 1.01 version.
    "The only question that remained was whether the founders knew the final result of their creation, or if they themselves where the victims of a misunderstanding.
    In the latter case it was the duty of any thinking human, to press himself into the front of this depraved movement, to perhaps still prevent the extreme, in the former case the founders of this peoples disease must have been true devils; for only in the brain of a monster - not of a human - could the plan for an organisation take meaningfull form, whose purpose must lead toward the end result of a collapse of human culture and thus to the desolation of the world.
    In this case only battle remained as a means of final delivery, battle with any weapons that the human mind, intellect and will are able to comprehend, regardless, of whom fate would gift with it's blessing."

    It must be something wrong with your computer as I can play many turns without a CTD. Can you post an error log?

    Not sure what that is, only thing I could find is this;

    The timecodes are not recent though.

    By the way, I forgot to mention that I didn't delete the teutonic folder, I just renamed it.
    I'll try a new install tomorrow.

    There should be a folder called "logs" in your Medieval 2 folder (for example C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\logs). In there, you'll find a .txt file called "system.log.txt" That is what I'm talking about. But you have to try and get it to crash in the Night Goblin campaign before you post it. The game re-writes the error log every time you enter the game.

    Ok got it, it's to large to post as an attachment.
    I'm going to do a complete reinstall tomorrow making sure to do everything right.
    I have installed CoW on this install of MTW several times already because of problems with the patch etc, so that might be it.
    If it doesn't work I'll upload the log tomorrow through a filesharing site, if it does work I'll apologise for wasting your time, goodnight.

    Use Russian text for now.

    You can put your error log in a zip file instead of hosting it on a file site. zip/rar files compress the text to make it smaller.

    I believe that the problem lies with the translation indeed, even Beregonds new hotfix1.02 compatible translation still causes the error, it worked fine for 5 turns in the russian version though.
    Here is the rar of my error log;

    I'll post this in the english translation thread as well, perhaps beregond can solve it.
