Something I've been wondering

Another thing that annoys me, is that there is barely any sound. I've checked the very nice soundtracks you've made, and there are plenty of them. But well playing, I dont hear any. I get as most about 1 soundtrack / battle (and they just last for about a minute)... I cant understand why.

is strange the soundtrack is called by the scripts following the situation of battles.

I have very similar issue too. My sound card is old (Sound Blaster Live 5.1 from 2002) and it has problems with playing mono sound effects (soldiers marching, fighting, etc.). It's strange because sounds in all other games are ok and when I play all those sounds in Winamp I can hear them nice and clear. Due to the old age of my card it's hard to blame the devs.
The effect of this issue is that all sounds stop playing at all after a short time of a battle. I've found two semi solutions. 1st - disabling effects sounds in options. That cuts the effects sounds but all other are audible. 2nd - converting all mono sounds to stereo ones. Disadvantage of this solution is that you stop to hear if a sound come from left or right side.

I constantly get error messages during battles now... (Running in compatibility mode for Vista).. So that did just work at the quest it appears.
It says "Access violation at adress 007DC55F (and 007DC5B7) in module 'engine.exe'. Read of adress BFCF89D3 (and BFC89D7)"... Not sure if those numbers are good for anything, but I hope.. When is the next patch coming out by the way?

Well as mentioned, it even happens on the campaign map (when Im not in a battle). It hasn't crashed this much before, and never (until today) on the campaign map. However, the battles have crashed alot, and now even more. Im not sure if that depends on my siege weapons, but it seems unlikely since it appear to crash whether I'm in battle or not. Siege battles tends to crash more likely (About 1/4 or 1/5 of the siege battles works without crashing). The normal battles is more like 50/50.
