CTD upon starting a battle (every time)

I have a CTD-problem with CoW version 1.4.4 (English+music). I've checked the threads but can't see that anyone else has the exact same problem:
The mod crashes with "Unspecified error. Game will now exit." whenever it's done loading the battle screen. After loading a battle, the loading screen fades into the battle screen and the game crashes exactly during that fade.
This happens 100% of the time, whether open terrain or siege battles, whether I attack or they attack, whether scripted battles or random battles. My faction and their faction make no difference. It also happens at the same time if I make a Custom Battle or Quick Battle.
So, I've never actually seen a battle.

I don't get CTD on start-up or loading savegames or any of the AI's turns - except if they attack me, then I get the usual one at the transition to the battle screen.

Does anyone have experience with fixing this exact type of CTD?

P.S.: Please don't just post "Did you disable UAC?" "Did you delete BETTER_WATER?" I followed the instructions in this forum. I've also reinstalled twice following the instructions.

Hi!
IMHO battle related CTD's usually connected with siege engines(hellblaster, mortar, cannons) or graphics options.
Btw upload your log after you get CTD (warhammer.txt in logs folder)

Obviously something is wrong with the installation. I'd like to help but as said above, need your log file.

You would be much better off downloading the mod from http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=472832. It is far more stable than any other release, likely even the original Russian release. Even if you get your current version working, you will still suffer from unexpected errors at random, which are almost gone completely from the Gigantus version.

They should remove all other download links for the current version, so new people download the stable one.

Well, I didn't try installing it with Gigantus' installer. I used the 1.4.4 with English and music from moddb.com, figuring it was the most official looking CoW website I could find. I'll give the Gigantus installation a whirl first. Thanks.
