SO Annoyed

**King Xiao** · April 19, 2008, 08:46 AM

Every time i play any sort of battle with the Kypachacs or ERE around constantinople, the game crashes. I have tried everything. I have reinstalled, uninstalled, i have all the patches, i have done everything possible. It just crashes every single time i wanna play my kapachac or ERE campaign in battles. Anyone got a fix for this. I haven't been able to play BC for over 2 months now. I get this in the system log every time.

When you reinstalled, did you completely clean your pc of BC and/or M2TW? (e.g. the regedit and program files?). I would also try redownloading the mod from the internetz and using this to reinstall. It may take you an hour or so to get this done. Make sure to save your save games and ensure these save games are compatible with the 1.05 patch.

Are you using it with the Kingdoms expansion ? Because AFAIK it is not compatible; stick with vanilla, patched to 1.3

I have Kingdoms installed. It works fine for me, but others have had problems.

Yes, i use it with Kingdoms too without issues, but i use the vanilla Medieval2.exe file to start Broken Crescent. Maybe he tries to start it with Kingdoms.exe

Also, i don't know if there are issues with the Steam versions, or some localised versions of the game. Probably the truth is somewhere in the middle.
