A problem running 2.4...

[Chevalier IX]

After engrossing myself in 2.3 I am super excited to venture into the depths of 2.4...but after a flawless execution of installation,or so i thought,i launched the game via the launcher and it reached the initial splash screen and then CTD with the tex Medieval total war 2 has encountered and unspecified error and will now close..this only happens when I launch the mod,the vanilla game works fine from the launcher....Please,if anyone can help me with this...I have an empire to build!!!!

what is the file for the launcher for this mod? mine didnt come with one, I know this problem has been adressed in the past, but I was tuned out.

The bat file from 2.3 still works.

If you need the modswitch files , because you have a non-english install ( I think that was the issue )

I think you may have to change the mod name references
from RegionModBM to regionmodBM (if its case-sensitive )

other than that , yes it should work as well

I have exactly the same problem. I have tried both the install (and using the launcher) and the .bat file (Capitalised and all lower case) and get crash to disk both ways. What can I do to diagnose the problem better?

Well which version of MTW2 are you using
Is it English language version or English install there seems to be issues with launcher with non english install

If you have an English/uS version + 1.2 patch you can use the Launcher

just Extract everything to your Medieval Total War II folder
find the file LauncherReg.reg inside your Medieval Total War II folder
doubleclick to add the needed reg keys for Launcher

Now you can use CA's new Launcher . You may need a Desktop shortcut for it , open Medieval Total War II folder rightclick Launcher.exe
choose ' Send To' desktop (create Shortcut)

1.2 English

Yes I have this version

just Extract everything to your Medieval Total War II folder
find the file LauncherReg.reg inside your Medieval Total War II folder
doubleclick to add the needed reg keys for Launcher

I get the menu option in the launcher fine (that's really cute!) but get crash to disk following the opening picture

Now you can use CA's new Launcher . You may need a Desktop shortcut for it , open Medieval Total War II folder rightclick Launcher.exe
choose ' Send To' desktop (create Shortcut)

That doesn't seem to be the problem.
Is there a log somewhere that I can look at that records the launch of the application?

any help telling what I'm doing wrong?

[Sir Percy]

Deleted the folder and re-installed. All works great now. I had installed the upgrade over 2.3 - could that be an issue?

Just started a game as Georgia: first few turns ran fine.
