CTD when fighting Hannibal

Running on Windows 7
BI version
Not using steam
Apologies but I'm not savvy enough to know my video settings, etc.


Basically, everytime I fight Hannibal there's a CTD. The first time it happened I was fighting him at the starting position; the lines closed, and when I zoomed in to get a view of the fight the naked fanatics 'bugged out' and seemed to morph and fill out the screen, which was then followed by a CTD.

I figured it was a one off thing, but when I reloaded the game let Hannibal walk off somewhere else. The next time I tried to fight him it crashed just as I moved the screen further forward to have a look at his army.

The third and fourth time the game has crashed has occurred when, in battle, I've tried to change the video settings since I get the impression they're what's causing it. The third time round it crashed after I had lowered settings and unchecked boxes and went to save the changes. Here's what's strange about it crashing the fourth time though; before loading the campaign up again, I went to the video settings through the main menu and lowered all the video settings. When I loaded up the battle again, they were all unchanged, and again when I tried to edit the settings the game crashed.

I have no idea what's going on with this, can anyone help me out? Thanks.

Bump. I've deleted the map.rwm file and it still happens. The graphics settings have been sorted out, and the Naked Fanatics are definitely the cause of the CTD, since both times I've zoomed in on them, either by scrolling in or clicking in the scroller have each sent me to the desktop. What can I do resolve this? Thanks.

Do you have unit shaders set on or off?

I'm having the same issue. It's not the Naked Fanatics. I CTD when I zoom into Hannibal's Celtic infantry.

Turning Unit Shaders on solved everything.
