Click "User CP" on the top left bar of the screen.

On the left there will be an option that says "Edit Avatar"

Click that and follow instructions.

Brilliant! It pleases me immensely to see that the most annoying CTD ever to appear in EB is finally fixed.

Keep up the good work

Without the "fix file" (get it from the first post in this thread), there was a strong chance that you would experience a CTD (the game "crashes-to-desktop") in any battles that involved MORE THAN TWO armies. This would happen if three or more campaign map unit stacks were involved in the same battle. We called it the "Reinforcement CTD" because the 3rd army often shows up either immediately or during the battle as "reinforcements".

It's a nasty problem that has bedeviled us for over a year, but has finally been solved. (the EB team was able to trace it back to reports from our v.60 beta testers in October 2005!) If you are playing EB v.74, then you really should download and install the fixed file.

I was hit by this bug for the first time while playing my Avernii Campaign. after a 20 year war with the Audei I finally managed to get them down to their last settlement and seige it with a decent sized army. I played the battle the first time round and it took over an hour (no time limit) before I won and destroyed the Audei. Only problem was I crashed before getting that satisfying "faction destroyed" message on the campaign map.
I found this fix and played the same battle again a day later. This time I wasn't rewarded with a CTD, and I lost far less men, though since I've "Unified Gaul" my campaign has got considerably tougher, but thanks none the less!
