Can't launch the mod

**ChivalrousKiller** · August 29, 2010, 03:12 PM

I downloaded the mod and it went perfectly fine

Extracted into SEGA/Medieval 2 Total War/mods and pressed the Conquest XP icon.
Tried to type a number (campaign selection) and Enter.
Then it started copying files, did that for about 15 seconds, and suddenly closed.
Nothing more happened.

I have tried to launch various campaigns, and tried to download the mod twice.

Anyone have a clue about this problem?

Are you using Vista or Windows 7? This has happened to me too. It is because Windows will not let it copy the files because it needs permission. You need to run it in administrator mode for it to work. Also you need to let windows write to program files which I assume is where the game is saved. Moving the game to another directory might fix the problem too. Hope this helps!

Did you download 2.1 or 2.0?

is this the first time you have downloaded this mod?

2.0.

Don't exactly understand what you mean with the second question, but as I wrote in the first post I've tried to download it before, without success.

**TOLAROscipii** · August 30, 2010, 04:13 PM

I just thought it might be a corrupt upload
this Is why I asked

Try to download the full 2.1
Or is that the one you can not download?

If so I will upload it to another site
Have any favorite upload sites?

Haven't tried 2.1 yet, will do

Edit: How do you download the file from the 2shared link?

**TOLAROscipii** · August 31, 2010, 12:33 PM

At the bottom
on the right side
it says Click Here

Also before you do
Try using the 7zip 9.15 beta to unzip the 2.1 update you had problems with

**ChivalrousKiller** · September 02, 2010, 11:08 AM

Still doesn't work

Now I've tried downloading the game 5 times, with different download-pages. Tried both 2.0 full, 2.0 with 2.1 update and 2.1 full

Did you download the new batfiles?http://www.twcenter.net/forums/attac...1&d=1280659751
Just replace or overwrite the old ones in your MTWII folder.

Did it now, and it's the same as before

It starts to copy files, then after a while, just closes

Please, I really need help here. I need to try this mod

**dominion** · September 07, 2010, 04:48 PM

Sorry i don't have a clou. My problem was solved with the new batfiles, i installed 2.1 version full.

**Esis** · September 07, 2010, 07:10 PM

i think you must download the true conquest.bat
and launch the game from it. did you download this bat before?

**Esis** · September 07, 2010, 07:15 PM

and TOLAROscipii can you upload the 2.1 patch to another site like rapidshare?
i can't download it from megaupload

Yes I've tried it

I'm not sure why the 'true conquest.bat' isn't working as it's designed just to launch the mod. One possible problem is that the bat file is in the wrong place, as this would prevent it finding and launching the mod. Are the following files in the following folders?

C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War : conquest.cfg, conquest VISTA.bat, conquest XP.bat, True Conquest.bat
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods : 'conquest' folder
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\conquest : 'data' folder
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\conquest\data : many files and folders

It works now!

Thank's uanime5!

Do you have windows 7 or vista?

**Nur ad-Din** · March 31, 2011, 03:29 PM

Hi

I also have problems starting this mod.
I have placed all the .bat files and the .cfg in the right folder([...]/Medieval2Totalwar)
But still it keeps either copying or just not giving me acces to the files.
I am using Windows 7 Home Edition.
When attempting to start the True Conquest.bat, I just see the cmd-window pop up and disappear immediately.

Do you folks know what to do?^^
