Thread: Medieval II total war launcher

  1. #1

    Default Medieval II total war launcher

    The launch screen that displays news and polls when you start the game is not working. When I launch the game, the launcher screen comes up and says something about me not having a internet connection. I have a active DSL connection with the firewall turned off. All my other games connect and play fine. Is the news/poll server not online? is there a setting that I have to tweak?

    They recently screwed up the TotalWar.com Site. You can't access the pages for any of the other games other than Empire: Total War and get sent back to the Empire: Total War Introduction Page when you do. When you try to pull up cache for the page it will send you back also... they should have it fixed soon (only been like this for two weeks).

    So, this will effect the loading news/poll screen when you start medieval II?

    If they successfully messed up the SQL Database for the entire Website, Yes.

    The problem is not in the totalwar.com domain, but in SEGA's boards sites. The launcher's still works well for me (apart from the constant SQL error messages) and I use it for a quick selection of Kingdoms campaigns and mods (after all, the Kingdoms icons look like they're for Win98)

    That was happening to me all the time one time, so I reinstalled them. Have you reinstalled them?

    Try this - go to your M2 folder and find the [medieval2.exe] and make a shortcut to it (right-click on it and choose "Create Shortcut"). Next, drag this shortcut out to the Desktop. Use this to launch the game. If this doesn't work then you have a deeper problem that needs to be solved.

    The launcher is broken. That is just the long and short of it. Good luck!

    Like people have said, the problem is with the SEGA boards. As much as I enjoy these polls, it doesn't really matter now does it?
