Unspecified error at the start

[HereticFang]

Yup..

I Re-installed my MTW2 'cause some of my moddings caused the game to crash.. And i was too tired to hunt the bug up.

So. I installed my Med2 and patched it to 1.1 then unpacked and removed both of the descr_geographies. After that I hunted for 1.2 from several file downloads and finally got a working one from my saved MTW2 files which I found

So, then I looked for 1.3. Downloaded it and installed it. That took a long time 'cause I had to move some pack files and installers and their dll. files. Finally as I got 1.3 installed I tried the game and it crashed.. System.log does say that something called.. well something very weird (like $!%§%) was missing.

I wondered what could possibly went wrong.. Any help?

Is it that I patched the game from 1.0 to 1.1 and 1.1-1.2-1.3..
Or is it something else?

Another odd thing is that my MTW2 main folder is missing the preferences folder and it's files. :hmmm:

Any help here?

You're using 1.1 unpacked files on 1.3 (1.2, since 1.3 only effects MP).
That'd cause a crash alright. You need to use 1.2 extracted files at least.

[HereticFang]

Soo...

I re-install my MTW2 and patch it straight to 1.2 from 1.0, then unpack and install the 1.3 and Kingdoms?

If that works I'll and Hurrah to you <3

[DarK_RTW]

Of course it will but can I recommend you only start unpacking once you're up to date (1.3).
Just in case one or two text files were updated

[HereticFang]

Okies.
I also discovered that patches 1.2 and 1.3 are on the Kingdoms disc, so I will use them.

Now starting to re-install M2..

HereticEdit:
Hey. I checked out those updates and they contain several installers, their dlls and two folders: main and setupdir.. Inside main, there are folders english, french, american etc.
So what do I do? I extract those files on the update2 and update3 folders to my main M2 folder and run the installer or what?

[DarK_RTW]

No..no extracting, leave them be.
Just run the setup.exe from the main directory, the other folders are for different languages (obviously).

[HereticFang]

Yeah.. lol.
My native language is not english so it's a bit hard to understand 100% what people are saying.

So I run the installers in update2 and update3 folders, without moving them to the main M2 folder?

[AlfonsoVIII]

Correct, or just install Kingdoms.

[HereticFang]

I got it Working.

Thanks from your help. +rep
