CTD before battle

**Nandor** · February 08, 2012, 07:04 AM

I've been having trouble with the game crashing to desktop on the loading screen just before a battle. It doesn't happen every time, but usually at around 2990-3000 t.a. it starts to occur randomly in a campaign. I've tried reinstalling both medieval total war as well as the mod several times but it still occurs. I'm not running any sub-mods, just the third age patched to 3.1.

Here's the log file, I hope I posted enough of it:

Anyone have any idea what could be happening? It happens at around a third of the way through the loading screen if that helps.

We need the entire log, did you run a trace log?

Oh I wasn't aware sorry, I figured you'd just need the end of it. Here it is.

So I looked into the log file and saw this "missing data/siege_engines/textures/faction_variations/slave/siege_engine_overlay.texture". Keep in mind that I know nothing about this kind of thing, but looking into the folder mentioned I couldn't find anything about "faction_variations", is this a problem?

Also the "siege_engine_overlay.texture" I found in the "siege_engines\textures" folder and its only 1KB, is this correct or is there something wrong with my version?
