Do you get a message when the game crashes or does it just return to the desktop ?
Also, do you have another GPU on your laptop ?
If you have a dedicated card, you can set which one to use in the control panel of the said GPU.
I know that you said that you lowered your graphics but EBII units models are of a far more detailed than the base game.

Also the best thing would be to attach the log but for that you need a certain number of posts on the forum, and I don't know how many (maybe 5).

I just get "Unspecified error. Please compress your error log in a zip format and upload it on the EBII technical help forum.".

No, it is my only card. I am aware that this is not the most powerful graphic card in the world ;), but I've played a lot in Stainless Steel and some in Broken Crescent (another total conversion mods of M2TW) with High graphic settings and never had a single problem with crashing.

Well, I still cannot find an option to attach a file, maybe I am looking wrong. I've shared it at google drive instead:

You can't post attachments until you've posted a minimum number of times - it's a forum setting to stop spammers. I think it's 25 posts.

Can you get a trace log and upload that? It's not clear from that error log what's happening at the moment of the crash.

Sure. But I don't think it contains useful info.

Hi there! I recently had a short time enjoying EB2 but have decided to delete it and possibly give another go at reinstalling it due to the siege/sally CTD issue. I am using the Steam MTW2 on a Mac (2015, 16gb, 2.5 Quad, Dual GPU w/ 2gb AMD if that helps) but am I correct in thinking this is not a Mac specific issue? Thank You!

Edit: Nevermind I see in a post above mine that this doesn't seem to be a Mac only issue

Did you used some 3rd party utilities? Game is old and designed to address only 2GB of RAM, but there are some patch to to deal with it.

In case of big mods it is advisable to to save and quit game from time to time to empty out the memory.
