I've tested the unit and have no problems with freezing or anything else.

Try reinstalling first Redownload and Reinstall RS and if that doesn't work make a clean RTW install and install the patchs and then install again

Its always inportant to start with a fresh install before installing any Mod.

I'm getting that too, fresh install and download and it's still persisting. ONLY may i add with the Greek Agema Hypaspistoon in campaign and custom battles.

Sorry but i have to push this thread.

I got that freeze too if i click on the Agema Hypaspistoon in a battle (campaign or custom battle), maybe there are missing soundfiles for them?

Plz can u check this?

Can't continue my Greece Campaign with this.

PS: Yes i got a fresh install with 1.6a.

EDIT: I managed to find the problem!

In the file \Data\sounds\Voice\Human\Localized\Battle_Map\
there are 3 Sounds that only compatible with Miles Fast 2D Positional Audio, but they are not working with EAX or the other sound options!

If you use EAX etc. the game freezes if you click on one of these units!

Is there a workarround for this?

Sword Hoplites also cause this problem. It's damned annoying I tell you. I'm forced to play on 2D audio despite my 5.1 Set up. GAH

Yes, these soundfiles are:

greek_royal_guard.wav
greek_swordsman.wav
poeni_cavalry.wav

Is there a way to fix this?

I wouldn't even know what the problem is, they were standard wav files I created by piecing together appropriate pieces from other sound files used in the game using Audacity sound editing software.
