unspecific error encountered

[Shadow]

I am posting this for a friend of mine who encountered this everytime he play the game.

His game crashes and he recieved this message

Total War: The game encounter a unspecific error and need to exit now

This happened both on the map and during battle.

RAM:1.5k single row ddr
Processor: P4 2.4 gh
Graphic card: Radeoan 9600 Series 256mb

Any help?

Did he get that during the "Ai movement periods" ?
Beuase during my englishcampaign after a while everytime i pressed next turn my game crashes too, so if its that just do a new campaign.

Has he used the unpacker?

If yes, did he delete the files as per the readme?

I got a similar error but it was during the campaign when the pre-battle screen came up. I think I right-clicked on one of the general's portraits (to view the troops) and the screen went briefly black before popping up the error.

I'm using 1.1 and have not touched the game files in any way. It's only happened once so far.

i have encountered an error like that, and it only occurred after i unpacked the files and changed a couple of values. the game would crash out to an unspecified error every time i tried to load any battle. after i deleted the files, everything worked normally again.

That was because two of the unpacked files crash your game unless you delete them
