CTD when beginning campaign

Ok, I've installed all of the fixes. I have EB 1.1 on a clean install of RTW patched to 1.5. I can start EB, but after I select a faction and click the arrow to begin, I crash to desktop. I don't have any save files. When I run the EB validate file, I get this:

You seem to have a corrupt install. There are changes to files, or some are missing.
However, these may be conscious changes you have made, to remod EB. See below for details.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm trying to play EB for the first time.

A new wrinkle in the problem: I can play a custom battle just fine. Only the campaign crashes.

This happened to me when i first got EB. I found the problem originated with the site i used to download the client from, so completely uninstalling your version and downloading it again from a different site should fix this.
There may be a shorter way to do this, but you have the same problem i had, and thats how i fixed mine.

You seem to have a good enough installation though, apart from the traits and script files. I suggest getting those from the fixes thread and trying again before going to a time-consuming reinstallation.

It could also be a matter of drivers. Stone and Blood, another patron here, had similar problems with 1.0 until we cut away the voicemods, then with 1.1 until he got a new computer. It's really hard to know as it works on nearly everyone's system.

There are also a number of other suggestions in the validation sticky, including uninstalling Nero if you have it.

Thanks, bovi. It was Nero.

Hah, lucky guess :beam:! Great, enjoy the mod :2thumbsup:.
