Fatal Graphics Error or somethin

[OverLORDY]

So, i have been playing Stainless Steel 6.4 with bugfix compilation installed for a time. Up until this point, while crashes during battles occurred sometimes, they were not very often and did not occur more than once on the same battle, especially not during the battle. Sadly this changed in the current battle of Frankfurt. You see Frankfurt is already a problem settlement, what with having ballista towers but not firing any ballista bolts. This battle also crashes whenever i try to play it. Sometimes it crashes when i click start deployment. Rest of the time it crashes during the first few minutes of the battle. And it gives "Fatal Graphics Error" when it does so. While i must admit that this battle is the larger than any of the previous battles of my campaign with my full one stack defending against three enemy crusade stacks, my computer is strong enough to run most of the newest games so that shouldn't be an issue. I searched the google and tried every solution i found from changing the compatibility mode game is run windows xp 2 service pack (my computer has windows 7 installed) to some other stuff. And nothing has worked so far and i am out of options.

Any little bit of help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know which settings you're using but try to play that battle again by lowering down the amount of soldiers per unit (in the said game settings).
See if you still have the ctd.

Can't do that since lowering the unit scale does not affect saved games as far as i know.

My settings are are all high though most of extra options (like v-sync etc.) are closed for better performance with unit scale being huge.

I can't be the only one having this kinda crash right?

That kind of crash can be due to the fact that you have numerous units fighting in a small area. The engine (the game one, not your PC one) can not handle it sometimes. By lowering the unit number settings, it can solve the issue. I can't remember if it affects or not the saved games. Need to check.
The other option is to auto-resolve the battle.

I see. That makes sense. Thanks.
