I think textures are missing. Should I just reinstall the game? I am not sure.

**Danny_t** · April 27, 2008, 03:52 AM

it seems that this game is fried for a lot of people. ive been trying to get mine to work for a month now..the Q IS IS IT A VIRUS OR A HARDWARE MALFUNCTION OR AN INCORRECT SETTING, OR is it maybe that these games dont install properly after the 1st time?

**irishron** · April 27, 2008, 09:01 AM

I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled 5,6, maybe 7 times including Kingdoms without too many problems. I got a bad install on update 2 becaues of a bad download. Had to download it, again. Update 5 for Kingdoms, wrong version uploaded byCA. Otherwise I don't have a problem.

I have a AMD dual core 2.4, 3gig ram, Radeon x1950pro video card, onboard sound, 160gig harddrive, pretty generic. For antivirus, I have used McCaffee, Norton(Symantec), and now have ZoneAlarm. I even have Cheat Engine loaded on my harddrive. No problems from CA, Sega, or their protection software. Lucky? After 20 years of fighting Microsoft I don't think so.

Your syslog is generic, nothing new.

What are your computer specs? Where is your dxdiag? How much suff do you have running in the background?

I dont see how this helps me. If you are trying to get help yourself please do not hi-jack my thread. It is easy to make one yourself. You are asking a question that should go to its own thread, but to awnser it, the game can be installed a million times. You just have to makre sure you get EVERYTHING out when you uninstall it.

I have a AMD dual core 2.4, 3gig ram, Radeon x1950pro video card, onboard sound, 160gig harddrive, pretty generic. For antivirus, I have used McCaffee, Norton(Symantec), and now have ZoneAlarm. I even have Cheat Engine loaded on my harddrive. No problems from CA, Sega, or their protection software. Lucky? After 20 years of fighting Microsoft I don't think so.

Your syslog is generic, nothing new.

What are your computer specs? Where is your dxdiag? How much suff do you have running in the background?

What do the specs have to do with it? It is tha fact that I have modded somthing and it does not like it, but I have modded quite a few things as you can see, and I cant figure out what they are. Missing files are among the problems. What is a dxdiag? Things in the backround are noty a cause for the problem because I can run mods. Just not the base version.

It stopped working after I tried to add a new faction and then remove it. Then I tried to re texture some Sicyilian generals and peasant archers.

And did M2TW play fine before you installed Kingdoms, throw us a bone please.

Ok, let me help you with a few things. I am being nice, so dont think I am picking on you.

1. Computer specs matter based on the info of the first post. You just posted an error log and Irishron responded accordingly.

2. The error log is common to alot of people and only the last 5 lines of the error log really matter, the rest does not mean anything and umodded versions will have the same thing. Now that you have admitted to modding the files, computer specs need no longer apply and we need to investigate what you modded.

3. Don't worry about the dxidag, its a file that contains technical data of your computer and since we now know you modded the game, you dont need it.

4. The next step is to tell us what text files you changed in order to add a new faction and then remove it.

Well I fixed the problem. I did not delete the files that you are supposed to when you unpack. But I have faced another problem. My new textures are not coming into efect. Working on this accordingly, but thank you for your halp so far.

You have done the -io.filefirst correct?

**Alpha Zeke** · April 29, 2008, 02:38 PM

Yeah. Here is what I did. I copied the texture of Pes archers of sicily into another folder. I converted it to a dds. I renamed the texture to somthing dif. I changed the dds, and converted it to a texture. Now I have the original with an akward name, and the new one. I put the new one in the folder of the original. The efefects dont work. I changed the dds by coloring it with a paintbrush tool. I have added that io bit.

Please explain in more details. I understand you made a copy of the texture and changed and made it the same name overwritten the existing one, what is the file name you converted, what is the path of the file. and whose converter are you using, and what software did you make the changes in.

Doesn't this now quailfy for the modding forum? They have some good people there that know all about the ins and outs of the texture files and changing the modeldb and whatever has to be changed. In fact there is a tut in the wiki on this.
