It`s a very common problem with a lot of people, with different hardware. It`s apparently the same "crash to desktop" bug that was in Shogun WE The error log surprisingly says that it is an "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" which means that the program tries to access memory it has no right to access. That is a vividly sign of program/code error and should vividly be curable by a defiantly patch. Beleive me: it`s not my hardware and not my drivers: It`s the gamecode.
The"CTD" bug is explained here (but none of the "namely fixes" atcually work):

I can typically play the game (in campain mode) fine for a long time until it hits a certain year/turn. Then it`s crashes to desktop no mater what.
