    Default Maybe something wrong with my preference file..?

    Before I made this thread, I tried using the search button to find the solution but I couldn't.

    I have Medieval II Total War: Gold Edition. I owned RTW before so I just wanted to check the preference file for MTW.

    So, I went to: Program Files>SEGA>MTW>medieval2.preference.cfg. (Opened it with notepad)
    But only thing that was in the file was:
    [video]
    widescreen=0
    [game]
    allusers=1

    I tried renaming it to ".txt" file or unchecking "hide extensions for known files" but nothing worked.

    I also heard that you must have your game open in order to use the preference file. Does this mean I have to go into the game? I couldn't come out by pressing "window" key or anything.

    But yeah, shouldn't there be more stuffs in the preference file or am I missing something? By the way, I'm use window VISTA.

    Any help?

    You already have your answer to the same question over at totalwar.org.

    As you can see from those pictures, that's what I'm getting.

    If you started a campaign then you would have a lot more than that. You have Vista. There is a thread at the top of this forum concerning M2TW and Vista that can answer a lot of questions. As one already asked did you look in the M2TW folder buried in the virtual store folder in your administrative folder? If you want know how to get there from here the information is already available.
