Reproducible several times?

If so, you might want to consider uninstalling and then reinstalling+patching on a clean copy before doing any modding.

[pike master]

source of the problem are any changes in preferences or imperial campaign files.

try to unitstall as much of the original game as possible including prefetch files and regedit files.

then do clean install than add 1.2.

Its working for him/her now. Two hours tech support on MSN... and its 2am now *yawn*

[edit]
And no, that doesn't mean I'll become CA/SEGA's free tech support :p

Well, just in case you have a clue why the game always crashes whenever a mongol ram breaks my gate... ~;)

Now seriously, I had that in the leaked patch and in the official patch as well, and yes, I did reinstall the game. Autoresolving when mongols besiege me "solve" it but the Mongols will hardly use as many troops that way.:wall:

Good that you got it working Isabella - thanks for that FH
