Mod crashes immediately with "unspecified error" via Steam; freezes otherwise

My computer's old-school XP, has Intel Dual-Core CPU E8400 running at 3.00GHz, ~3GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275.

So I've just installed the mod, v2.01, with no problems and I've installed it in my SEGA/MTWII folder. So when I use the Steam shortcut, the launcher opens fine, but after opening the mod, the mod immediately crashes with the message "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit." While this is happening, the launcher still remains on but invisible because I can hear its music before it too then crashes itself a few seconds later. If I use the no-Steam shortcut, the mod instead freezes on the first screen and I have to go into Task Manager to close it.

Is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

What does your error log say? It's in [Your M2TW folder]\logs

Here, I've posted the contents onto Pastebin: 1

I'll post the contents of my descr_projectile file as well, since that seems to be the thing that has the problem at first glance: 2

Just wanted to bump this - I have exactly the same problem, with the descr_projectile.

Any fix for this?

Are you using an unmodified 2.01? I ask because the updated descr_projectiles doesn't have that many lines in it!

Yeah, unmodified 2.01, but I discovered that it's also a Kingdoms problem - somehow, Kingdoms didn't install correctly and the error logs indicate a version of normal M2TW.

Once you get it working again, I'd highly recommend you update your EDU and descr_projectiles with one of the testing versions, or get 2.02b when I've finished it. Battles are somewhat lacklustre in 2.01, not least because a host of things don't work properly.
