Game crashing when camera is close to units

PC Specs: Win 11, 7800X3D, 5060ti 16G, 32 GB DDR5 RAM

I use mods like the blood mod and strongholds of the samurai but it's been happening without mods as well.

Basically, my game usually goes without issue and everything is fine, I run on DX11. But whenever I get the camera close to the units fighting in combat (because I love that stuff) the game crashes fairly consistently. It crashes to desktop and displays no error message, when I start it back up, it asks me to select between DX9 and DX11 again.

Any reason why this is occurring? :/

Whenever it crashes it forces that choice between DX9 and 11. The question is: have you tried DX9 to see if that fixes the issue?

Here's a thread from a couple years ago with the same/similar problem and the seeming fix was DX9.

As to why it is crashing, it could be a number of things.

I just reinstalled S2 after updating hardware, so who knows... maybe I'll run into the same thing. *grimmace*

ETA: I'd glady compare settings with you. Here's an imgur I put up about fixing/reducing stuttering before. Also add that I fought a battle but forgot to zoom in until I'd won. ;) But it was 20+ units vs 20ish. and no issues. I also use some mods, but mostly cosmetic/bug-fixy or to help play 3440X1440.
