Random barbarian crashing

[jbelaguas]

Okay, so the game pretty much crashes (RTD) everytime I lay siege on a barbarian city. I'm using version 1.2 with no added mods.

I tried this with the Casse, trying to expand. First, it crashes before the battle starts. Tried it again and it crashes midway through the siege.

Tried this again with both the Averni and Aedui and got the same results.

It's perfectly fine with other factions though. I'm battling Gaul with Epiroites and I'm fine.

Help?

All 1.2 fixes installed?
Check the version number in the main menu for the right (1.2) version.

Are those crashes repeatable or do they appear randomly and you can overcome them by reloading?
For midway battle crashes:
open \EB\preferences\preferences.txt and change "EVENT_CUTSCENES:TRUE" to "EVENT_CUTSCENES:FALSE"

No I don't have the 1.2 fixes installed...thing is, I don't know what to install...

The crashes are repeatable and randomly happen. I also tried making those changes and the game still crashes mid-battle.

Also, for some reason, during said siege, I can't move units attached to siege weapons. Other units I can move fine and units I detached from the siege weapons move fine too, but I can't move a unit that's attached, default or newly assigned to it.

Get the fixes ASAP, it is written in the download thread how to apply them.

The crashes are repeatable and randomly happen

??
Either a crash is repeatable (thus happens whatever you change in the starting position) or it appears complete randomly (and a simple reload solves the issue). Clarify this please.

If the battle is bugged, simply don't play it on battlefield, use auto_win to get your victory and autoresolve.

EDIT: Since you have problems with more than one town, run validateInstallation.bat found in your RTW folder and post your results here.
