starting problem

[Gary121]

When i start my Third age up 'kingdoms.exe'. pops up . I have all four TATW Installers( 3.0 Part one and part two , 3.1 Patch and 3.2 Patch) its a windows 7 all saved to C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War i dont know what i should doo

Exactly what error are you getting? The "Kingdoms.exe cannot be found" error?

[ElvenKind]

Also, is your M2TW steam or non steam version? ( I guess non steam cause you have the default installation path, but, just to get that clear )

And, I see you said that you saved all four TATW Installers to C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War..
Did you just saved them, or, you installed them?

[Gary121]

Stealth fox - yes it is that very error!
ElvenKind - Non steam And i have installed them !

Right mouse click on your TATW shortcut which is on your Desktop, and, go to Properties - Advanced. If the box labelled Run As Administrator is checked, uncheck it. And see does that help you. If it is unchecked, check that box and test it.

1. Does your Kingdoms work? Try to load one of your Kingdoms campaigns..

2. Also, there could be a problem with Virtual Store.. Did you edit the security for your main M2TW folder before installing TATW?

[Gary121]

1. yes it works
2.I did not do that

[ElvenKind]

1. yes it works
2.I did not do that

In that case, you will have to reinstall TATW I`m affraid..

Go here , and follow the steps in the pictures.
These things you need to do which are explained there:

1. Edit the security for your main M2TW folder, unhide hidden folders, and, delete M2TW folder found in your Virtual Store.

2. Uninstall current TATW installation which doesn`t work, and, delete manually Third_Age_3 folder located in your C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War/ mods folder.

3. Follow the installation instructions from the pictures ( be sure to install all four TATW Installers into your main M2TW folder, use the same folder path for all four Installers ).

Good luck!

One more thing, after you install it, to prevent battle crashes at the start of the battles, Disable daylight saving settings, go to Control Panel, Clock, Date and Time, Change the time zone, Change time zone, uncheck `Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Savings time`.

Go to ..m2tw/ mods/ Third_Age_3/ data folder, and delete two descr_geography_new files ( .db and .txt).
