I just now checked out what my debug had to say. I apparantly didn't copy the right log last time, so I replaced the old log with this new one. This is my problem, whatever it is...

I can play all custom/sandbox games I want, but I can't touch the campaign without it crashing immediately after I hit finish for the setup screen. I really want to play the campaign, and any help would be appreciated.
