    Default Crashing problems, please help

    I've had Stainless Steel 6.4 with the Bugfix Compilation v 1.27 for a while now, and usually it works just fine. But lately I've been crashing a lot, and I don't know how to fix it. The crashes started to get more frequent the farther I got into the campaign, and the error messages that would pop up are both "Medieval 2 has seen an unspecified error" and "there is an error usually caused because your graphics settings are too high". I have tried lowering the graphics in the main menu, but then I always get the "unspecified error." I have noticed the crashes became more frequent when I had bigger battles or battles involving reinforcements. Is there something I can do to fix the mod so it doesn't crash so much, or do I just need to upgrade my fairly old graphics card and hope that fixes it?

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    The Bugfix changes a lot of files so if you have any submods downloaded it's most likely because of that. And I doubt you applied the BugFix wrong, its a pretty straight forward copy and paste the bugfix 6.3 folder to the old one and overwrite everything.

    Do you experience those crashes after playing a few hours in a row ?

    It has been confirmed that after playing the game for a few hours, there is an overload of data that cannot be handled quite right. So it is advised to exit the game every one hour or so and restart it. When I was using Windows (I'm on Linux now) I remember this little advise hd much merit to it.

    On the other hand, if you mean that the game crashes as you advance in the campaign no matter how many hours you play straight, then it might be more specific to the mod. So, the usual diligence stuff goes here:

    1) Virtual Store: Some files might not be where they should be.
    Have you deleted any files in the Virtual Store folder?
    Have you disabled UAC?
    2) Corrupt files: Some files might be corrupt.
    During download, have left your PC in peace?
    3) Daylight settings: Have you disabled it?
    (Well, it's winter now, but you never know).
    4) Log
    -Please provide one.
    5) Corrupt save: Keep at least two different saves
    One for battles
    One for before end turn
    One every 5-10 turns

    Gents, note that the Large Address Aware patch modifies the executable (.exe) of the game. As such, it is against the Terms of Service of this site (Promoting Illegal Activities).
    Refrain to refer to/mention the LAA patch or more moderation action will follow and might lead to infraction. Thank you for your understanding.

    system.log.txt

    I've been working on figuring this out, and here's some more info. Daylight savings is disabled, Virtual Store, UAC, etc are fine. Nothing should be corrupt, as I was careful in the downloads and the only time I run into the crashes is when I'm fairly far into the campaign and fielding either really big battles with reinforcements, or when I besiege a city with artillery. I've attached my log, but I don't really know how to read it.
