Crash Once Start Battle

Any time I press the "Start Battle" button both in and out of a campaign the game crashes. I'm running 2.04a from CD.

What does your log say?

Try reinstalling 2.04a.

Do you mean the system log?

Did you reinstall? Its a specific error based around a faulty installation.

I installed newest patch 2.04b today and i get also in campaign game CTD when i click start battle.

Here is my sys log

Are you playing on easy battle difficulty?

i've encountered the same problem as Echbart. Just installed the newest 2.04b patch but every time i try to fight a battle i get a "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit". Trying to find my system.log.txt and will upload as well

*Edit: uploaded system.log*
system.log.txt

*Edit2: i continued my Seleucid campaign but encountered a real "make or brake" battle so i went for it and.... now the battles work. I played a battle around turn 11, maybe just stick it out till turn 11 and see if it works then? now i'm around turn 30 and have no problems with manual battles anymore*

I'm having this same problem.

Well, looks like it's the same game-breaking bug as in here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...efore-replying There may be a unit affected by this that crashes the game. For me, when you start as Bosphorus and try to fight a battle against rebels the game crashes.

It's definitely a unit! A hellenic one. I've played custom battles with KH and Epeiros, it crashes when I have some units. Don't know which one exactly.

What version of EBII are you playing?

What does your error log say?

This mod is designed for Medieval Total War II, not "Rome: Total War".

Hi!

I'm playing as Bosporus, now in turn 87: While during the beginnigs of the campaign I was fine, I am now getting game crashes very regularly either somewhere between the camera zooming into the two clashing armies and the load screen when battles start, or at some point throughout the battle. I believe those crashes occur particularly often during city sieges.

Here's my changelog, hope this helps. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!eb.system.log.txt

I had the same issue as Bosporus. Haven't tried as anyone else yet.

Im also playing as Bosperus and im besieging rebel settlement in Crimean. While besieging im attacked buy second army...and then when i hit start battle it crashes. Im playing medium battle difficulty.

Yeah, I'm sure it's the same issue as in TATW since I used to play this mod on older OS and it worked fine. It is something related to models or animations. So far there isn't any fix out there.

Thanks for the reports a new update resolving the issue will be deployed shortly. Alternatively you can get the hotfix here.

Looks like the battle that used to crash for me finally works great Thank you, may I ask you what exactly was wrong and what did you do? There's a similar issue in TATW.
