The CTD would normally come after some 20-30 battles the first time, then somewhat irregularly after 2-5 battles from then on, except some instances where it could last for another 10-30 battles again. In other campaigns, there was not a single CTD for more than a hundred battles. Probably depending on where the battles were fought out.
I too changed the descr_grass and tested it out now, it worked fine. What surprised me most though, was that there was no entry in Filemon trying to read from eb/eb/blah! If the game always ignores the -mod switch for vegetation, how could it even have worked at all previously?! Or, maybe it hasn't really been working since we started using the switch.
I'll dig up an old 0.8 save where the pre-battle CTD was rampant and see if the descr_grass change fixes that, it definitely should. Hoping I still have a clean 0.8 copy somewhere. Thanks again!
