    Default Can't play =[

    I've downloaded all patches + installed MTW2.1.2, but whenever I try to load up it gets to the splash screen and then CTDs with a message about an unspecified error.

    Can anyone help?

    Check your logs folder in your medieval 2 folder, then click the error log thing and tell us what the errors say, i don't know if I know how to fix it but someone will.

    Are you using vista?

    Are you using steam?

    Have you tried this?

    open up for_king_or_country.cfg

    Select all

    Delete

    Copy the follow code into that file and save it:

    [features]
    mod = for_king_or_country
    [video]
    widescreen=0
    movies = false
    [game]
    allusers=1

    Cheers

    I am also getting a CTD everytime I go into a battle. Camapign map is fine to my knowledge (only played a little while). I tried copying that into the .cfg and now says fatal error instead of unspecified error.... =(

    Ok do this:

    Make a copy of your medieval2.preference.cfg file and call it for_king_or_country.cfg.

    Open it in notepad.

    Add this to the very top of the file:

    [features]
    mod = for_king_or_country

    - The log folder is entirely empty
    - I'm on XP (SP2 I think)
    - I haven't used Steam
    - I can't open the cfg - what program does it run in?

    Thank you for your time guys!

    system.log.txt is empty? That is very odd, even running M2TW should add information to the log.

    Use notepad to open the cfg file.
