    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

    I used to get this kind of error in RTW. A campaign can get corrupted somehow and keep crashing at the same point. The only real solution was to start a new campaign, which really is not a solution at all.

    I havn't seen this with M2:TW myself yet, but it happened to me a lot with RTW (no mods or any other hacks used, apart from patches). I hope this bug hasn't made it into M2:TW!

    He could also try turning the graphics settings down a bit. I had a similar problem when I first got the game, with my old computer. It had a 6600GT, and I think it was the pixel shader that caused the problem, but I'm not 100% on that. Try dropping it back to the older version pixel shader (1.1 i think), and if that doesn't help, try dropping back other video settings.
