Third age total war Sub mod Divided and Conquer "unspecified error crash"

**ImPuLsEIRNBRU** · September 03, 2014, 07:35 AM

I've been laying third age total war for sometimes I have the latest patch 3.2, I recently installed the sub mod divide and conquer now every time I go to play third age total war with the sub mod I get the medieval 2 has encountered and unspecified error, which I know is a common problem. so I cannot do campaign custom or historical battles. I have windows 7 and its a non steam version. Help would be greatly appreciated.

When does the error actually happen? When entering battles, or starting a campaign with any faction etc..?

There are installation instructions which you can use ( post #2 from the link ): http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post12777400

Delete map.rwm file in your M2TW/ mods/ Third_Age_3/ data/ world/ maps/ base folder.

If that doesn't work, go here and apply first three steps in first post explained for Windows 7, 8 and Vista Users: Edit Security for your main M2TW folder( or, use TakeOwnership method) , unhide hidden folders, check VirtualStore folder for Medieval II TW folder, and delete it if you find it there. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...h-pictures-!-)

I have no file called map.rwm in that location! I've followed the first 3 steps still no luck!

Hi there, and welcome to TWC forums

Answer these few questions:

1) What Windows do you have?

2) Is your M2TW a Steam or non Steam version? If it is a Steam version, is it updated with that latest patch for Multiplaying( start one of your Kingdoms campaigns, go to Options and in the upper corner there should be a number of current version)?

3) Before installing DaC, did you download and install TATW 3.0 both parts and TATW 3.2 Patch? After installing these TATW files, did you test can you start a campaign?

4) What DaC version are you trying to install?

Thanks!! I'm a huge fan of total war, since the launch of rome 1

Now its working, I downloaded the 0.5 version and its ok.

But I have a new problem hehehe:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...0#post14640440

1) Windows 7

2) non steam, original medieval 2 and separated original kingdons.

3) the seteps are correct 'now' hheheh

4) I tried to install version 0.4, but now I'm in the version 0.5. The crash that I'm having now is fatal, I have the save file saved in my desktop if you need it.

Im getting an unspecified error crash every 5 turns or so, im using dac 5.1 windows 8 on steam its kinda frustrating.

Better to ask in DaC's thread, maybe someone has a similar issue.

Hi, I'm having an issue where it allows me to go onto the "Third-age Campaign" option, but when I do so and then press back and try to enter custom battles the game crashes back to desktop. The same happens the other way where i try to go on custom battles, go back and then the game crashes to desktop when I try to go on the third-age campaign option

Hi there, and welcome to TWC Forums

What seems to be the problem, and, what files did you install:

TATW 3.0 Part 1 and Part 2 + TATW 3.2 Patch + "insert version of submod files here"

Also, is it Steam Medieval II TW version, or non Steam Medieval II TW version?

**gogi003** · November 28, 2016, 12:26 PM

DaC submod has a modified campaign map, and as far as I know, for some users ( like you now) it was unplayable.

Why is it unplayable, we do not know, but it probably has to do with incompatible software/hardware drivers, or maybe even too modern software/hardware, since this game engine is more than a decade old, and it hasn`t been updated to address the newest modern technology.

Have you tried playing clean, vanilla TATW 3.2 campaign (without submods installed)? Does it lag there as well?

**gogi003** · November 28, 2016, 01:36 PM

yes first i playd tawt wanila and it lagd that is why i trid dacv thot it my improve the game bat it didnt are there any updates in ner future or is this it

For TATW, this is it.

As for your problem, if your game lags playing TATW, you will not solve it by installing a submod. I suggest you focus on TATW first. It is very unlikely that your problem is caused by TATW itself, a PC software or hardware (or both) is much more likely responsible. Try googling your problem. I did a quick test with that and got a lot of results. The term I used was:
third age total war lag fix

And this is a link to the results (if it doesn't work, type "third age total war lag fix" into the google search box.

https://www.google.nl/search?client=...al+war+lag+fix

I will now close this thread, as it has deviated substantially from the original topic which was: Third age total war Sub mod Divided and Conquer "unspecified error crash", which clearly has nothing to do with lagging.

Feel free to PM if you think there is reason to reopen it.
