Kingdoms crashes on launch

Hi,

I'm having a slight problem, every time i try to launch Kingdoms it crashes at that first screen, where it says SEGA etc.. I had a look at the system log, and there was nothing that i could discern:

Last five line:
19:50:15.531 [script.err] [warning] Trigger parsing warning in data/export_descr_character_traits.txt, at line 17765, column 26 :
we should only have trait(JihadHistory) additional affects for triggers(jihads_8)

19:50:16.828 [system.rpt] [error]

I haven't updated kingdoms, but before i reinstalled, it was coming up with the same thing after i patched it to 1.5.

When i try to play Medieval it works fine (v1.3)

I use Windows XP.

Thanks for any help

How did you buy M2TW, and Kingdoms? Have you uninstalled Kingdoms and reinstalled? Have you unpacked the files, made any changes/mods?

I've managed to get around this issue.

For some reason trying to launch through kingdoms.exe caused the game to crash, but when i used the Launcher and tried to play the Americas or Crusades they worked fine. So i installed the 1.5 patch and SS6 , I used the SS .exe file on the desktop to enter the game, and wouldn't you know it, it works great.
The kingdoms.exe file has issues...

Anyway, i hope this helps others in the same boat.
