In my case the Saracen Campaign crashes also. But I have noticed that when the game does crash, there is one of three things
1. Supporting units (i.e. catapults, ballista or allied troops) during the result screen.
2. A town or city as the objective
3. Every crash has a window in the back ground from Visual C++ 2008 (couldn’t screen capture it)

I have played several other graphics intensive games and manipulated large data crunching files on this PC with no issues. Like most who have posted here, I think the game has great potential to become a classic but this bug is killing it.
 
Don't know if this will help anyone or not. But I turned off all sound except the voices and was able to get to the end of the first and second mission before I crashed. I still keep my video cranked up.
 
It still crashes after the first mission in the crusader campaign. I tried to use the cheat WinBattle but it won't work. The patch you send me in November last year works but then I can't play the DLC.

Isn't there a way to start with second level? Because I played the first one a lot.

I tried the new Steam patch (Feb 2011) and it solved my battle-end crash problem. I was one of those who could never get past that crash no matter what I tried. Thanks, now I can enjoy the game and having a lot of fun with it.
