Thanks, That Worked Fine for me, You're Awesome!
Alright, so I did some tests.
Test 1: Shadows and Reflections disabled, Custom Battle, Tomb Kings vs Orcs, with the Orcs using only a couple of units that I know don't cause any problems, as I've used them in my ongoing Orc campaign. Tomb Kings were just some random units I picked that looked neat. Battle started fine, no crashes.
Test 2: Shadows and Reflections disabled, Campaign Battle. I started a new campaign as the Tomb Kings, and built up an army of various units, then sent them to go siege Mount Grimfang, which is just north of The Nameless City, the Tomb Kings starting settlement. Waited a turn and built a ram and some siege towers. Started the assault, and it crashed while loading, with a "Medieval II has stopped working" Windows error.
Test 3: Shadows and Reflections disabled, unit size lowered to Normal,(I normally run with Huge unit size.) same battle as Test 2. Same result, crashed while loading again, with the standard Windows "Medieval II has stopped working" error.
Test 4: Shadows and Reflections ENABLED, Huge unit size, Custom Battle, Tomb Kings vs Orcs. I used one of every Tomb Kings unit available in custom battles, and gave the Orcs some Goblins. Battle loaded without any problems.
I'm starting to wonder if it might be something with the Tomb Kings general unit. Going to do some more tests, but it seems like it's either something specific to campaign battles, or it has something to do with a Tomb Kings unit that isn't available in Custom battles. I haven't run into any problems with any other faction so far, and I did manage to get around the Tomb Kings in my Orc campaign by using the "auto_win attacker" console command.
Edit:
I just tested a battle without a general attached to the besieging army, and it crashed again. Here's the information that Windows provided for the crash:
As for your earlier questions, I've had UAC disabled since long before I installed Medieval II, to the point that I don't even have a Virtual Store folder anywhere on my PC. I've already followed all of the performance tweak guides, and my .exes have the 4GB patch enabled.Code:Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: medieval2.exe Application Version: 1.5.2.0 Application Timestamp: 540d9f2c Fault Module Name: StackHash_4759 Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 7865742e OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 4759 Additional Information 2: 4759a5ae0b18c619a88462fabd9e72a0 Additional Information 3: 8e0b Additional Information 4: 8e0bf9178daf8986472b3032e628ddbf

Okay, New Problem, The Game Screen Only Takes up around a Third of my Screen, And Once I Load into The Campaign I Get the, UI Being Disabled For forced Season Change or Whatever and it just Stays there, I can't Do Anything.
You can disable window mode in the prefrences file in RodG16 folder by changing its amount from 1 to 0, or set the game resolution in video setting same as your desktop resolution.
And for the ui freezing and its massage at starting a campaign you must wait some minutes untill new massages comes down from the left of the screen (for me it takes about 10 minutes)
Okay Got the UI freezing over with but I Don't have it in Windowed Mode and the Reolution is set to my screen size, I have to Do the old trick of changing the name if I want to play Fullscreen.
Well, I just did another test, and instead of going after Mount Grimfang, I sent my Tomb Kings army at the Dwarves, to their capital. I've sieged that with Orcs before, and it worked fine. I was able to siege both with and without rams/towers/ladders as the Tomb Kings, so it can't be anything with their siege engines, and their units seem to be fine. I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with Mount Grimfang and The Nameless City in particular. I sieged Mount Grimfang with the Orcs before, but I didn't actually assault it; I waited them out because I was using a Waaagh to build up money.
Has anyone else tried fighting on Mount Grimfang and The Nameless City in particular?
I highly doubt that it's my install. After the first time where I had issues with the Tomb Kings, I redownloaded and reinstalled the entire mod, and every other mod that I've used with Medieval II works perfectly. If there were something wrong with my Medieval II install, it would have caused problems for TATW+MoS, TATW+PCP, Eras: Total Conquest, Thera V4, etc, some of which also have huge units/lots of files that can conflict with anything wrong in the Medieval II install.
I'm becoming increasingly sure that it's either Mount Grimfang and The Nameless City's maps, or a combination of those two maps and the Tomb Kings causing the crash. Especially since it's not the "Sigmar Preserve Us!" error, but just the regular "has stopped working" Windows error.

My Preference Folder has nothing in it, I'm Trying to Figure out how to Fix this but nothing is working, If I Try to do the Name Change thing it Just Crashes after a few minutes but doesn't give me any crash message at all.
And Yes I Relaunched the Game.
Ah Ha! Figured out What to Do! I had to put the thing at like Four or Five Times my Normal Screen Resolution
Thanks. It seems like the Skaven Lair to the east of Mount Grimfang has the same issue for me, which is now making me wonder if there's some sort of terrain/region issue in the area where The Nameless City, Mount Grimfang, and that Skaven Lair are. Those are the only places where I've run into this issue, and all three settlements are pretty close to each other.
I have a question gigantus. how do we save our game settings? mine resets each time i start the game lol
After a succesful siege against a Skaven holding it crashed while loading the world map.

just posting here to let you know you are a hero giganticus, singlehandedly bringing cow to all of us unable to read cyrillic.
also a question, does your version have any additional fixes/tweaks the other version has?, as i am using that atm and will happily hop over if there is more stability.
So the 1.6 (downloaded from here) is working. I did try the vampire counts but with the patch I get the "Chaos is taking over" message. I reinstalled the basic mod (1.6) and it worked then i installed the 1.6007 and it did not work again (custom battle work perfectly) :-)
Any ideas? :-)
