    Icon9 Neither Medieval or any of its mods will play, but unmodded kingdoms campaign will.

    What should one do when this happens? whenever I try to play vanilla or any mod even if I download them over and over again I will get an unspecified graphics error the game exiting, well being unable to get past the first screen when the game opens. Yet for some reasons an vanilla kingdoms campaign will work, well for a limited amount of time. I know it isnt much of an in depth explanation, but maybe this has happened to others.

    If this happens only with mods then the installation of the mod has problem. Check the installation again or make the installation manual.

    Which mods? Some mods overwrite some of the vanilla files and vanilla willnot work right after that. Choice is vanilla or the mod.

    Well, Vanilla wont work, all mods that use original medieval 2 wont work, all kingdoms mods wont work, yet the kingdoms games themselves work

    Oh and my mods and vanilla where all working a few days ago back I got a bug while playing broken creasent and since then I have not been anble to play it any other mods, unmoded games, yet kingdoms works for maybe 30 turns.

    Only solution is to uninstall and reinstall the game.

    ok, I reinnstalled Vannilla everythings working fine there, but none of my mods are working, and not just that but any mods I try to download since then wont work either....so mods will no longer work even if I downloaded them just 10 minutes ago......

    If it say version 1.0, install Kingdoms. If you have the right version that matches M2TW, you're home free. If not you have something crossed. All the updates you need are on Kingdoms dvd.

    Oh yea, forgot about that. thanks

    Eidit; Tried to install the patch from kingdoms but all Im getting is "this 1.03.000 update cannot be applied to the 1.00.000 version of the game." well guess back to some tacky site for it unless this site has the patch in one of the downloads sections.

    Did you modify any of the files before trying to install Kingdoms? The last time I did it about a month ago, I just installed M2TW and Kingdoms right behind it. I have no problems. You do anything between them you lose. You change one line in a file, you lose. You decide to use a no-cd crack, you lose. This thing looks at time/date stamps on files, especially medieval2.exe, and they don't match, you lose.
