    I had once a problem with the battles playing Serbia, it was about the armor upgrade for the spear militia. after I changed the armor upgrade model in the EDU file it worked.. however I think we already fixed this long time ago..

    It could be easily tested by changing the 'armour_ug_models' entries in the EDU for the suspected units to be all the same (first one) and then run the battle again.

    Have you tried running the game from the .bat in the mods / SSHIP_098 / SSHIP 098 launcher folder?
    Or mods / SS6.3 / SS_Launcher.exe
    if you have an older version?
    I just would like to mention that I found your advice as VERY USEFUL for myself !!!

    Not talking about previous install experience I have tried to do install according to (B) One full version option from 1st Post here:
    https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...1#post15956672
    Having same problem as user ChessLandsknech describing his issue here:
    https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...1#post16015752

    Shortly: I launched the game with SS_Launcher.exe. Opening artwork (of KCC 0.9.5) appeared (as expected). Then the game crashed to desktop.

    The whole thing was that I was too proactive with making new folder SS6.3 and copied all the content from SSHIP098 folder (extracted from SSHIP098.zip) to the new SS6.3
    D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3
    which was crucial for the startup error. So the thing is u have to keep folder SSHIP098 as it is and move it to mods folder, example:
    D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\SSHIP098


    Conclusion: Considering that my mistake was stupid, it would be useful to include this tip, directly in the installation instructions.

    Ok, I was testing the game for a while and realized I might be mistaken. Not sure if previous renaming-folder was the reason of crashing game, cause once I launched SS_setup.exe and changed Campaigns settings to Early or Late Era, the functionality of the game was ruined for good and caused the same Crash to desktop issue.

    Fixed by overwriting the entire contents from the original SSHIP098 folder (extracted from SSHIP098.zip) to:
    ...\Medieval II Total War\mods\SSHIP098

    If you haven't finished a single turn, it must be a problem of installation.
    But you've managed to run the mod, so it's promising.
    I usually play on lower settings. You may check if you'd got past turn 1 with something autodetected.
    Otherwise I have no clue. I've run the mod perhaps a hundred times given the need to test new solutions, and I haven't experienced crashes.

    I have the same problem as you do. Almost the same specs with the same path to the Steam folder. Crash to desktop within 1 turn with Crusader States with the same error message. With the Papal States I sometimes manage 2 - 3 turns before crash to desktop. I haven't tried another faction than those two. Perhaps everyone else plays Croatia, Hungary, Bosnia and all those boring nations and that's why they don't have any problems

    I have the same specs as for graphic options and I installed the latest SSHIP-version from Megaupload (the version/download link where you have to wait 4 hours or pay $20 after finished downloading 50%).

    Couple of years ago I managed to play the submod with Crusader States for like 30 - 50 turns before a crash to desktop. I did this by downloading Stainless steel 6.3, 6.4 and then SSHIP. But now it seems like the old torrrent link with vanilla 6.3 + vanilla 6.4 has disappeared. The only link I can find to Stainless Steel is a combined 6.3+6.4-version that has some kind of submod installed that conflict with SSHIP.

    In any case: I would be grateful if someone has a solution to this problem. Great mod, but I uninstall it like two minutes after every time I install it since I can't play more than 1 - 3 turns with the nations I want to play it with.

    LuckyPistol, to find out which unit is a problem:
    1. Open the file ../SSHIP/data/export_descr_unit.txt
    2. Look for the section of spear militia
    3. You will see something like this:

    type Spear Militiadictionary Spear_Militia ; Spear Militia : urban militia, standard

    era 0 england, norway, scotland, france, hre, denmark, spain, aragon, portugal, serbia, jerusalem
    recruit_priority_offset 0
    4. change the line:
    armour_ug_models Spear_Militia, Spear_Militia_ug1, Spear_Militia_ug2, Spear_Militia_ug3
    to
    armour_ug_models Spear_Militia, Spear_Militia, Spear_Militia, Spear_Militia

    5. If the ctd will not appear again you have found the culprit, if ctd continues maybe its another unit or something else..

    It seems you've made a wrong installation. I've opened the version I've sent you and no such units appear, at least on turn 1.
    Run "Bin file cleaner.bat" in the mod's directory, it should help (but it's not save-compatible).

    The version you sent me consists of two files - the base version + patch, I unzipped both, put the main file in the mods folder and then copied everything from the patch into the base version and overwritten.

    Should I do something differently?

    EDIT: Ok, I reinstalled it and ran the clean batch file and it is not there anymore, thank you!

    EDIT2: And it is turn 33 and the game CTD on pressing the End Turn button :/

    Here is my save file: https://we.tl/t-WzKqoMqSRh

    No, it doesn't. The SSHIP is currently standalone (I mean: the 098 version, to be released at some moment, an initial version is in the download part.

    I can't download the mod. I did not download anything from MEGA in months, so what am I supposed to do, the quota won't let me download this mod.

    Use the Mediafire link or download MEGA app, it resumes automatically then, until done.

    Edit: Right, sorry, there's no Mediafire link.

    I wonder why I don't have such problems with mega... Maybe having an account helps? (I have it as I upload my stuff to mega)

    Using the account helped. However new problems arises, the good old CTD at launch.

    I installed Clean SS6.4, did the setup and overwrote it with the MEGA file and G-Patch.
