Random Crash with Unit Upgrades

[Sanutys]

Greetings to everyone.

Well, I used to play Mount&Blade very much on my old XP Windows, and the game always ran fine. I played many Mods, as well as Native without any kind of crush. Usually one or two bug, but nothing to complain, really.

However, some days ago I just bought a better PC, a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 actually, and as soon as I started playing the game I noticed a problem: Randomly the game crashes when I click to upgrade a specific unit. For sample: I have a Swadian Militia and I try to upgrade it to Swadian Footman, then the game crashes to the screen. Some times it happens, some not. I would like to know what to do. Here is my system information:

As far as I know I met all the game requirements and there should be no crashes. I would like to know if anyone else who has Windows 7 is having the same problem?

Sorry for my English, I am just kinda desperate as I paid for the game and maybe it is just not compatible with my computer.

Not exactly when upgrading unit's, but just random when my char is on the map :/

I see. Well, it happens for me anytime I try to upgrade, hire, disband a unit or something like that. It happens with any unit for me. But it only crashes while doing that, never crashed while in battle, travelling or something like that.

Going off the fact you have a new PC, it is likely you have downloaded a corrupted copy of Mount & Blade.

Note the filesize of the M&B download and check it against those mentioned in the thread.

Guess what? I did that and downloaded a 381 MB version of M&B, and is working just fine now. No crashes, bugs (I'm only having a bug in Kingdom of Swadia in which I receive a message from the Marshall to do a Quest for him, and when I speak with him there's no Quest to do, but I do not care, as eventually there are real quests for me to do for him ^^).
Also, some bugs which there were before are no more, and the gameplay is fine.

Thanks for the help (sorry for my english).

You may close the topic or whatever.
