~Slightly modified to make the instructions pertain to Call of Warhammer
-The Holy Pilgrim

I can recommend following actions as steps that can directly influence your game's stability, they won't always work, but are worth trying:

0) Absolutely necessary - run the game as administrator or you'll experience fatal graphics errors, CTDs and other issues (particularly on Win7 and Vista).
Short How-to on fixing this:

How set your mod to run as the administrator

1) Right-click on the CoW shortcut

2) Click on "Advanced..."

3) Check the "Run as Administrator

1) delete all map.rwm files from data\world\maps\ - do that each time after updating mod files
2) delete strings.bin files from data\text\ folder - rarely necessary
3) disable file cache - fixes old savegames

Disabling file cache is done via mod's .cfg file (warhammer.cfg), relevant section needs to contain the line:
[io]
file_first = true
disable_file_cache = true

It's vital if you play a mod that's frequently updated, in many cases you wouldn't be able to continue your previously saved campaign with cache enabled - my recent research shows that the game will allow you to play on in "compatibility mode" when cache is disabled, whereas normally some battles wouldn't load. And there might be more to it.

A known symptom that could indicate disabling file cache would help is a CTD preceded by random texture errors found in game's log, directly before its end.

To make sure your error log contains enough data Warhammer.cfg file needs to be edited (extended logging courtesy of wilddog and Augustus Lucifer):

[log]
to = logs/system.log.txt
level = * trace
;level = * error
------------------------------------
this version for maximum data:

[ai]
ltgd_logging = true

[log]
to=logs/auh.system.log.txt
level = * trace
file = game.script.* logs/pkh.script2.log.txt
file = game.script* logs/pkh.script.log.txt
file = game.script logs/pkh.scriptoutput.log.txt
file = ai.ltgd logs/pkh.ai.log.txt

Detailed research ]]> here ]]> .

Additional common CTD solutions:
4) disable the advisor - crucial to maintain battle stability
5) turn UAC (User Account Control) off if using Vista/Win 7 and proceed to step 6 - absolutely necessary to keep any stability
6) reinstall MTW/CoW
7) turn autosaving off - may help in getting rid of campaign map CTDs

Other means of keeping good stability:
8) reinstall graphics card drivers
9) don't use multiple submods without making sure they're compatible

Regards

Extended info on disabling UAC in Vista\Win 7:

a. Win 7 - Press Start, write "UAC" in search window, "Change User Account Control settings" should be found - click it.
Move the slider downwards to "never notify" position.
b. Vista - Try Win 7 method, but untick "Use User Account Control..."; alternatively you can go to main User Accounts page in Control Panel, click "Change Security Settings" and then untick beforementioned element.
c. Press "OK".

d. I recommend uninstalling CoW and making sure Call_of_Warhammer\data directory is deleted (you can keep saves, preferences etc).
e. Find compatibility folder and delete it, make sure you backup any savegames found there (there might be no saves inside as well):
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Sega\Medieval2 Total War (default path, could differ a bit)
f. Install CoW following usual routine.

g. For players confident that they installed correctly: skip uninstalling part and go straight from "c" to "e".

(i don't speak russian)Oookay, I'm not sure where to post this so please redirect me to the correct link if this is wrong.Okay I got a problem with this mod... I've downloaded all parts and installed the game (as administrator) in a clean medieval 2 total war installation (nothing from the old mod was active in the installation folder, in fact it was completely empty before install, on steam that is).Yet when I start it seems as I miss some things, like the blade in the loadingscreen. I can only see the blade being filled but no handle to it (i guess there should be a handle on it). Also I don't have any text in the menu, I got the menu items there but no text to label it.So if this is the wrong section to post this is, just redirect me (you're entire forum is in russian so it's quite hard to navigate for me, even with google translate).//And I don't think it's a corrupt download since I managed to unpack all the rarfiles without any problem and also managed to install it without any problem, but if you still think it is, just tell me :P///Could put it in bug section under text or icons i guess, but it's kinda hard to know if I should put it there or wait for you guys to make a english-bug part for us here in the english section :/ (since it's like 100% russian in the other bug section)

ok , I can say that game crashes after every 30-60 minutes . , I tried doing all what was suggested no big changes . I am not sure , or it must be like that - several units have no pictures and names ( unsuspected name or something like that ) and several building have no images , especially for that pink race on upper corner of map .One more thing - is it possible to get so songs from game somehow in separated way or as minimum names from them ?p.s I understand Russian too , but cant write ...
