I've tried reinstalling, uninstalling then deleting everything in the m2tw folder then reinstalling. I've gone on dc++ and looked at other people's m2tw install paths and files only to find they're identical to mine in both location and size. I've tried the 1.2 patch. I've tried using the unpacker to put the missing files where they should be and yes, I remembered to delete the geography files. I've played m2tw on this comp before and it worked fine and I'm not trying to use any mods, I just want to play the damn game.

PC specs are:

Intel Celeron 3.02ghz
1 gig of ram
Radeon x1300/1550 series on pci-e with the latest drivers

**kwantome** · September 03, 2007, 10:43 PM

OK, I downloaded Microsoft net framework 3.0, uninstalled everything, deleted all the files, used regclean, reinstalled, unpacked, deleted the geography files and not a damn thing has changed. I thought I'd post this info to rule these things out as all I see everywhere in the forums is "Have you unpacked?" and "have you deleted the geography files?"

Anyone want to actually be useful and help me out here cuz this situation's really starting to piss me off, I've uninstalled and re-installed about 10 times. This thread's been here for days now and I haven't had an ounce of help, not even suggestions.

**kwantome** · October 21, 2007, 04:33 PM

Wow, a month and a half and nothing, not even one post with a suggestion. You guys are all useless. Thanks a million.

**Dick** · October 21, 2007, 04:39 PM

You're welcome, go away.

**Nebuchadnezzar** · October 22, 2007, 02:06 AM

Why did you unpack the files lol if you are not using any mods?

Uninstall once again. Delete the M2TW folder and do a fresh install and start up the game to see if it still crashes. Dont do anything else including adding any patches especially touching any folders or files.

If alls OK then add patch 1.2 and try again to see it still works.
