just one question:
is it normal that the properties of the file say v1.1?

insert a backup disc or make an iso and mount it in daemon tools / alcohol. there is prolly a dvd-check left.

seems like the developers forgot about it :p
its an updated exe anyway (Filesize + OEP differs from v1.1 crack).

okay thanks.

don't have the game, i just wondered ;)

Hi guys ! I got a problem with the new update 1.2 ..
neither the crack of gamecopyworld is working for me ... nor the maxi image ...
Can some1 help me ? I tried it with the original medieval2.exe and with the cracked one both in usage with the maxi image!
could any1 write me a manual to help me what I have to go or isn't there a crack at the moment which works ?

this is my error log :

I figured it out. The shortcut in my start menu pointed to Launcher.exe. I changed it to medieval2.exe and everything's fine.

erikt

I mounted the maxi image ... but still not working

possibly a problem on your site... check if it works with original, if not it could be some driver conflict, missing codecs etc... but try with original first to be on the safe side.

with the original patched exe I got this error message in the system.log :

20:48:29.160 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

before the patch had been installed it worked fine...

could you post your system.log.txt here ? it would be great :)

Ya i am having the same exact issues. Same errors from the log. I tried with the maxi dvd image didnt work, tried the 1.2 crack and didnt work. I also changed the shortcut to goto the medieval2.exe file directly and the game will open and the screen will be black and ill here the error noise and the curser will stay an hourglass, if i hit escape or enter the game shuts down (while its stuck in the black screen).

I fixed it .... uninstall the game and delete the folder !!! delete registry entries and your save games !!! re-install the game and patch it ! than it will work !

Tried this, still getting the same error. :confused:

What do you mean by "delete registry entries" please?

I have exactly the same problem as you, with same error log and everything.

Before 1.2 all was OK.

Greetings,

I just patched M2TW to 1.2 last night and applyed the no-cd file. But things are not working properly. When continuing my campaign the game freezed while processing a country and the mouse over info is not working anymore (when you pass the mouse over a skill or trait it would show the bonuses or the cost to buy a unit/improvement). Anyone got these problems? Should I have installed 1.1 first?

thanks,

@Balthor -> same happens when using the original exe + cd/dvd ?

Well, they are not easily acessible right now, but I can get then if nothing works.

I posted here because I tought this was a quite weird error. How can the program run seemingly ok (did not tryed any battle and the other error was from a saved game), but loose a mouse over info only at cards. On the campaign map the mouse over info still works.
