Game constantly crashes to desktop

[Satathan]

Hi, great game and a good 10$ spent, but i'm having a problem fighting the swadian raider party, which has about 40 units. About halfway thru the battle it constantly crashes to desktop without warning, it seems to only do it after i am charging on a horse with a lance and after hitting, clicking again. but it doesnt matter the weapon.

yeah, it takes me about 6 tries to capture the nobleman, because it keeps crashing. Sometimes the entire computer shuts down.

Similar problem here. I've fought a group of 39 forest bandits for the third time with no success. It always crashes halfway through the battle. My own crew is 11, so maybe my box can't handle the total number of people?

I don't get any error messages--I'm just dumped to the desktop. I've got the latest hardware drivers, no spyware or viruses, all the latest Windows updates. Here are my decidedly humble stats:

Celeron 633 OC'ed to 950
640 MB PC100 SDRAM
VisionTek Geforce 2 GTS-V
Ensoniq ES1370 AudioPCI
Win2k Pro w/SP4

The game otherwise runs like a dream, though I do have to lower some settings.

Alright, I managed to finish large battles without any CTD's. I turned off "permanent corpses" and that seemed to do the trick.

Same problem here.. I can’t fight whit 17 mountain bandits, because of CTD.

My system:

P4 1.8@2gh
Asus P4T motherboard
1 gb RDRAM
Radeon 9700@pro

I now, maybe I should try without overclock, but every other program is stable at this state.

Well, it's perfect for most people. Perhaps it's overclocking-sencitive?

It solved the problem for me too. Somethig has to be whit the number of the corpses.

Glad it worked for you, AZ. At least in my case, the problem doesn't seem to be related to overclocking. I've got a crappy Celeron 633 OC'ed to 950, and the game runs fine.
