crash to desktop when selecting "new campaign"
 

I get a CTD when selecting "New Campaign" from the menu. It loads for a minute then ctd - no message, just a ctd.

However the historical missions load with no problem.

No Mods enabled
I have the 1.1 patch
I've tried re-installing (removing the folder)
I've tried reducing all graphic settings to minimum
I've tried turning off sound acceleration
