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

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 :

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 !

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,

[TippeX]

@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.

Hi Balthor I would like to help.. We had the same problem I was playing a Spain campaign and almost everytime it gets stuck on the 2nd turn transition during france's turn. I actually fixed that error by downloading the

Medieval II: Total War v1.2 [MULTI] Fixed EXE

by Vitality

here

Then extract it and paste it as ussual.. I'll keep you posted if I encounter any problems regarding that crack..

Now gonna kill some french generals some more
