I haven't played the base SS for a long time, but in my previous experience it was very stable, also after the battles. It was not like the RTW.
Maybe you've got some wrong settings on your comp? applying LAA helps as well

If you want to play a historical mod in the medieval setting the best are:
Stainless Steel Historical Improvement Project and Broken Crescent.
Recently, Tsardoms and TGC look also very good. Read my opinions on the other mods here.

Dominant strategy in Rome2, Attila, ToB and Troy: “Sniping groups of armies”. Still there, alas!
Meloo's fix is still available here on TWC - it's the one I used in this repack.
Doing a mix and match of 'fixes' is most likely going to lead to crashes as some of the files are not common to all fixes but depend on files that are common to most.
Thanks.
the hotfix was already installed. But the issue has gone away for now, for no apparent reason.
The only thing I did was setting everything to high in the options and disabling reflections. I doubt this has anything to do with the underlying issue though.
EDIT: No issue is still there. Just crashed after an hour long siege engagement.

If its the loading screen quotes causing all the ctd,s is there a way to remove them all together?
Removing (keep a backup) the following files will revert to the default quotes (the screens are not the issue here) but you can check the screens to make sure their numbers (data\loading_screens) are in sequence, eg if a number is missing.
1. data\descr_transition_screen.txt
2. data\text\quotes.txt and quotes.string.bin
Hi Gigantus I had removed them very files last night after posting and so far I haven't had one loading screen crash, been playing for eight hours and still no crashes.
Thank you for confirming - I will have a look again at those files if something slipped by me when correcting them.
Edit: I found a duplicated 'author' number (21) in the descr_transition_screen file - the patch link (in OP as well) is updated with the corrected files, hopefully that was the remaining issue.
@Gigantus. I have tried everything but I continually get this and have no idea what to do. "The code execution cannot proceed because d3dx9_30.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem"
It's a file that should be in C:\Windows\System32, part of DirectX9. You can get it here: https://www.dll-files.com/d3dx9_30.dll.html
I am guessing you have a 64bit machine, so use the first download and then extract the file (7Zip is freeware) into the system32 directory
Do you know why I would be constantly getting "MTW2 encountered an unspecified error"? Tried multiple (different) battles and am having trouble
Hi rypatty5. If you are getting the crash before the battle is about to start or after the battle, it is caused by the quotes that will appear on the loading screen. If you install gigantus's hot fix 5 https://www.mediafire.com/file/us3sb...fix+5.exe/file
this should solve that problem.
It only happens during the battle
@Gigantus can you help me, please?
I have a problem with Stainless Steel 6.4...
I have MTW2 Definitive Edition (Steam) and SS. 6.3 + SS 6.4 patch version. After 144 turn my game always crashes and I get the message: [Medieval 2: Total War] ...has detected unspecified error
I deleted everything and installed MTW2 out of Program Files. Then I downloaded and installed your version Meloo Fix with BiTorrent.
Everything installed without error according to instructions.
I copied my save file.
Now the game crashes again, at the same place when it's my turn after Rebels.
The message only says M2TW.
Can you help me please?
Sorry for my English, is not so good.

Does this guide apply for non-steam installations as well?
@dominika - that appears a crash related to a battle, could also be a scripted issue considering that it is happening at the very same turn. Not sure how to solve that, I am afraid. Lifting the fog of war and following AI movements to see when it crashes might help so see if moving an srmy helps.
@spherical - the installer is meant for Steam and disk.
Thnx, I have just installed it.
One question though, I remember an option in the campaign setup about factions reemerge, isn't that included in this repack?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it, it is a submod
