Game crashes in battles

**AwareLine63779** · December 08, 2014, 07:46 PM

SS 6.4 Windows 7 with UAC disabled. Non-Steam. Running as administrator. Crashes only happen in battles whether campaign or custom. I will get the "Medieval 2 has encountered an unspecified error" message.
Here's the system.log:

Is this crash in a campaign or is it in a custom battle?

**AwareLine63779** · December 09, 2014, 06:30 AM

Both

**Navajo Joe** · December 09, 2014, 09:28 AM

This sounds like two things:
1. Looks like a bad install if you having campaign crashes, re-install SS with your UAC disabled.
2. Battle crashes can be solved by d/l RBAI Update from Sub Mods in stickies

Also please remember to install 6.4 Bugfixes by Meloo182

**marlnts** · February 07, 2015, 01:50 PM

could you provide the links for those mods? i would be grateful if you could

do you have discrete or integrated graphics card(s)?

**Losthief** · February 11, 2015, 12:04 AM

the links are on top of the submod subforum and bug/tech subforum respectively marints.

Hi,
I'm having the exact same problem. When I start a battle, the loading screen appears, but once the bar is fully loaded it gives me the message: "Medieval 2: Total war" and crsahes. I have tried reinstalling and also updated RBAI but still have the Problem. I've installed the bugfix compilation 1.26 but it doesn't help neither. In previous tries I got the message box that has been described previously by AwareLine63779. I hope someone can help me with this. thanks in advance.

This is my log by the way:

I also figured that the error depends on the map I am playing on. For example using Edelweis the game crashes every time.

**Navajo Joe** · February 26, 2015, 05:17 AM

TheWolf94, it that is a Custom battle you are trying to play, then a crash will happen as not all the maps are aligned with SS any longer

**Thewolf94** · February 26, 2015, 08:54 AM

Ok thanks for the quick reply, Navajo Joe. But the problem occurs in the campaign as well. I figured out that it only happens when I try to play a siege battle. Any ideas what could be the problem here?

**Navajo Joe** · February 26, 2015, 11:25 AM

R U Using WIN7 or WIN8?

**Thewolf94** · February 26, 2015, 11:42 AM

Windows 7

**Navajo Joe** · February 26, 2015, 02:35 PM

This sadly sounds like a bad install, possibly a corrupt d/l, I would tend to remove SS, registry clean, re download, then re-install 6.3, see that it loads, re-install 6.4, see that it loads, install RBAI update and then Bugfix, all very tedious

**Thewolf94** · February 27, 2015, 06:27 AM

All right thanks a lot.

**Thewolf94** · February 27, 2015, 11:18 AM

Tried it, still doesn't work. Maybe I reinstall the whole game once again and try installing the mod afterwards. Thank you for your time anyway.

**Geoffrey of Villehardouin** · March 05, 2015, 10:42 AM

Does your problem happen in the loading screen at the start of the battle or the end of a battle? Is it a specific settlement or any settlement?

That log you posted is not helpful. You need to set your log to trace. Read this.
