Crashes and how to fix them

[irishron]

I didn't want to get around it, my M2TW is 100% legal, purchased from a PC shop. Anyway, I try to do what you said, thanks for the info.

It maybe 100% legal, from where I'm sitting I don't know that, but the garbage you you on your machine let's you have the option of bypassing the company's rules and that's where you and many others get caught.

[QUOTE]CTD on startup
Q: When you start the mod you get a black screen and the mod CTDs.

A: There is an erronous entry in the data\unit_models\battle_models.modeldb, normally a reference to an non-existant mesh or texture, or an entry is incorrect. You won't recieve any help in the log for this so you'll have to check your entries manually.I'm looking around in my directory, and I can't find the data/unit_models folder. I can't find any folder for unit models. I'm thinking this is a bad thing. Any recommendations?

What mod or mods do you have installed? Did read the page(s) that in the thread(s) that contain the download link(s)?

Hi, i have a problem launching the game. when i open kingdoms.exe i get this messege : The procedure entry point _AIL_set_digital_master_room_type@8 could not be located in the dynamic link library mss2.dll. please help! i've played this game before it worked perfectly i use the same PC!!!

[irishron]

kingdoms.exe is NOT standalone. Itneeds to be told where to go. Can you play the four Kingdoms campaigns that came with it? Can you play the mod made for Kingdoms? If so, your error is a direction code error that deadended because there is no .bat file telling it where to go.

[sumo]

i cant play the kingdoms at all i cant play any of it

[irishron]

What other programs do you have installed?

[sumo]

none just the teutonic thing

[sumo]

another problem poped up now it cant find the mss32.dll. thing

[irishron]

See if it's in the Windows/system32 folder. If it is copy it into the Sega Medieval II Total War folder.

[sumo]

nope, its empty

[irishron]

You candownload it here: http://files.filefront.com/Mss32dll/.../fileinfo.html.

[sumo]

copy it or move it in the medieval2 folder ?

[sumo]

now it just changed to no entry point again

ok gents my game (MTW2) keep on crashing to desktop i believe i know why but i need alittle help

i have unpacked the game, so i could script the files but i never got around to it. i remember reading a thread telling me if i dont not delete a certain text in the scripts my game will ctd. its apparently the first thing you are supposed to do after unpacking the game.

what is that text and where can i find it?

[irishron]

It's the readme in the unpacker folder. The supposed to be deleted files are the two geography files in the data folder.

man help for god sake . i have problem when i install m2tw 1.0 (it worked fine). on clean 1.0 i install 1.02(1.2) patch and after that i install 1.03(1.3) after that i install sicilian vespers mode but real problem is not in mod, the problem is when i wanna start the game crashes With window please insert coorect cd rom etc.
i read post about that problem and i clean disk (but aldredy was clean it has little scratches but nothing to worry about) , but still same thing occurs.

i have SATA optics NEC ad 7200 s.
is it problem because i use SATA or something else.

also use some tolls to bypass whole sys to cloak drivers but still nothing. even cracks from 1.0 and 1.3 on exe file do not fix this problem. so pls hlp if u now solution
p.s. i alredy uninstall 2 times game.

This has already come up this week believe it or not.
A player bought a SATA drive to replace his IDE/ATAPI drive that died. It couldn't find the disc. He bought anther IDE and it worked. Also, another poster dug out the Colgate toothpaste for the scratches to get his to work.
If you're using something like Daemon or Alcohol, Securom will ruin it even with a crack.
