how frequent are these CTDs? i too get CTDs once in a while, mostly during battles the "M2TW encountered an unspecific error and will now exit" but since kingdoms it has just stopped twice already. the battle sound & music were still playing and i could access the task manager, switch tasks but could not get it on screen and failing to kill the m2tw process blind i had to reboot.

that said the # of CTDs is still pretty low. im was actually surprised how stable M2TW 1.0 was. the old MTW was a huge CTD fest in its release version. forced me to shelf many campaigns due to unsolveable CTD-on-end-turn issues. even RTW had this issue, though rare i lost 2 campaigns due to the same CTD stuff.

im sorry for being not of much help. it the game CTDs too frequently uninstalling, defragging and reinstalling might be worth a try.
