How did you install? Fresh medieval copy or over beta_5?
Installed MTW, then VI, then VI patch 2.01. Over this I downloaded and installed Beta 8.

First run, the game crashed to desktop as soon as the campaign map flashed on the screen. Read some of the problem theads here in this subform, then dropped the screen resolution down to 1024x768(?). In the second run, I got a little further along before CTD. Alas, I can't recall exactly when this happened. Changed screen properties from 32 bit to 16 bit and ran through about 12-15 turns on the campaign map only. I was encouraged by this.

After reading that Puzz was having a hard time at normal difficulty and my campaign was at hard, I restarted a campaign with normal. I played about 20 years on the campaign map (no battles yet). I believe I was left clicking to select a province when I got a CTD again.

I'll continue to play with my graphics settings as suggested elsewhere to see if I can eliminate the CTD, but I'm wondering about possible causes for my slow load time.

Back to a campaign question, with so many clans in the game, is there a map somewhere (in game or external) to help at least the newbie with where each clan is from on the map? As the early parade of emmisaries marches to my daimyo, I'd like to know if I'm making an alliance with a clan close by or on the other side of the map.
