downloaded patch...no help
I am also having the same problem...
I had not had any crashes using the English until i began fighting the Timurids and when their elephants began firing the game would crash...
i downloaded the patch it it worked for a day, but now it crashes whenever I play them occasionally, but not as much...
I don't understand.
Also the part about:
Due to a timestamp check, the following unpacked files will
cause the game to crash and must be deleted before the game is
launched:
datadescr_geography_new.txt
datadescr_geography_new.db
????
The unpacked files don't contain any sort of files like these...
Anyone else having crash problems facing the Timurids? My problem is that if I let the auto resolve do my battles, i always lose against those dumb elephants and handgunners...but when I play myself I win...so the campaign will take fifty times as long. it is ridiculous.

If you are still getting the timurids issue you have not installed the patch.
To install it, extract the files to any location, browse there and run the file setup.exe. This will then launch the installer which you need to point to your m2tw directory.
Don't worry about the files to delete - if you don't use the unpacker (a tool for modders) you dont' need to worry about them.

Is the unpacker with the Patch? Or separate?
Re: downloaded patch...no help
The unpacker is a modding tool that is installed when you patch the game. Don't worry about it if you don't mod. If you do mod, then check your M2TW installation folder after you have run the patch, there should be an 'unpacker' folder containing the program.

This is not correct. The Timurid units still cause crashes with the patch in place.
Not as many but the problem is still a big one.
One example is if a Timurid attack is passive and you leave the city to attack this almost always causes a crash.
In some cases I have defended a city and won only to have the game crash out on the loading sequence.
Re: downloaded patch...no help
I agree - timurids bug is still there, post-patch.

Wrong, they are indeed there, I forget which folder they were in, since I already deleted them, so you may have to use the "search" function of "Explore" in Windows to locate them, but they were indeed unpacked using the unpack_all.bat. Keep in mind the unpacker unpacks an additional 36,000 files, so searching by the above method is almost mandatory.
