CTD before battle, tried everyhing, including LAA

[srndiosp]

Hello, I know there are bunch of "CTD before/after battle" topics, but I have tried everything and still get it. I constantly get CTD before starting battle, during loading (once just after starting battle), it is when defenders attacks me at the end of the siege. What is weird, if I attack this or another village and attack them instantly (they have no walls), then I get an error after about 20 minutes of battle.

I would include log, but for some reason I have "You may not post attachments". I get bunch of errors but as far I've investigated these are "normal" errors, which shouldn't prevent normal gaming, such as "Error in battle script command 'unit_set_experience': invalid unit label 'Eu39'." or Error in battle script command 'define_unit_group': invalid unit label 'MAu1'. The last error is:
[system.rpt] [error] Unspecified error. Please compress your error log in a zip format and upload it on the EBII technical help forum.

Kingdoms 1.05
EBII 2.35
Windows 10
Intel HD Graphics 4000 (integrated), driver version 16.08.2018
8 GB RAM memory
Windowed, borderless, custom resolution 1600x900

What I did:
- Followed instruction (including starting vanilla camapaign and finishing the turn, installing DirectX and C++ libraries, installing outside Program Files)
- Shaders set to version 1, all graphic settings to low, V-Sync turned off.
- Large Address Aware in kingdom.exe set to True. Tried with LargeAddressAware.exe and 4gb_patch both. 4gb_patch does the same. LargeAddressAware.exe shows me that this flag is set to True.
- kingdom.exe set to run as admin and as Windows 7
- deleted the map.rwm file (in: "mods\ebii\data\world\maps\base") (as suggested in https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...-after-battles). Of course I also tried staring battle many times before deleting/renaming this file.
- starting new campaign with same faction
- starting battle from another position/angle on map
- exited all programs when launching Total War.
- no problem when auto-resolve

Please help. I loved EBI, but it was extremely unstable, I hoped that EBII will be better in that matter. If needed I can upload trace log too (though it is over 80 MB).

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
