TATW crashes on launch, doesnt show error message

[Devoz]

Everytime i startup the game it just shows the startup screen for a moment and then black screens, it doesnt display an error message. Whenever i run it as an administrator it gives the message that kingdoms.exe cant be found. I have tried a couple of fixes i found but none of them have seemed to work for me, so i was wondering if there are any more fixes.

I have
-windows 8
-the disk edition NOT the steam edition
-i am able to play the normal game and the kingdoms

Hope i can fix this, can't wait to play this mod!

I have to assume you made an error installing the mod.
I had a similar crash when i just re-installed this mod, was cause I didnt have my mod folders named properly.
In your M2TW folder, in the Mods folder, youve renamed the TATW folder?

I don't think i have, the folder is called Third_Age_3. Should i have renamed this??

thanks for replying

Since you have the disk version (No Steam), you do not need to rename your Third_Age_3 folder.

Delete that same Third_Age_3 folder which you had just installed, and doesn`t work.

Now, before installing TATW, what you need to do is take ownership of your main Medieval II TW folder. Since you have Win 8, use these instructions: Follow "How to take Ownership of files & folders"

After taking ownership of your main Medieval II TW folder, install TATW files again. After installing TATW files, be sure to disable/turn off Automatic daylight saving setting, which can crash your battles.

Good luck!

Thanks for your answers, i got the main game+ MOS to work, it is working and i am having alot of fun with it. The only problem i have encountered so far was an unexpected crash when i was looking over the map. Any fixes for this or is this inevitable?

this mostly occurs when i am near mordor, and i am also getting crashes atm when a orcish army marches up to the grey area above gundabad, i can't seem to get past the turn because of that army marching up and crashing my game, any help would be much appreciated

try disabling autosave.
only fix I know of for campaign map crashes.
1 of the smart people here will have a solution if that doesnt work, or a solution already exists in the tech help guide; http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...Before-Posting!)
