comp restarts on start campaign/battle

[Frigz]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with Medieval 2. everytime i start a campaign(any faction) my computer just restarts itself. this also occurs at custom battles. usually after 2 seconds. I find this very weird because i have played the game before on this computer without any problems or crashes.

i tried playing on the lowest settings, with no background programs running. even a 20 cannons vs 20 cannons custom match causes a crash, so i doubt its my computer specs, also seeing as i played before on this computer with medium settings.

I have an
AMD athlon(tm) XP 2800+
2,07ghz
512 RAM
ATI radeon 9600 series
using 1024x768 resolution
latest drivers and latest directx

im patched up to 1.3 but i tried it at every version and reinstalled the game about 4 times now.

my system log is saying i'm missing some files, but after searching around these forums for the same problem i heard thats pretty common and shouldn't be the cause. il post it anyway:

update:
i got the campaign map working flawlessly. what i did i cleaned my ram(i know its bad but getting new comp in couple of weeks anyway) i ran the 'disk cleanup' and 'error-checking' on /:C (my only disk) and cleared some space in the disk by deleting some old games i never play. apparantly this helped for some reason.

however in battles it still crashes 10 seconds after i hit "deployement"

anyone have an idea?

[Eothese]

Do you have kingdoms installed or just Medieval?

[Frigz]

just medieval

[Eothese]

Sounds to me like a graphics or patch problem... Maybe try a fresh install and a good disk clean up, if the game works unpatched try patching and check again.

[Frigz]

im affraid i tried that already
i tried 1.0 , 1.1 , 1.2 , 1.3 and after that back to 1.0 and so on.

[Eothese]

Did any of them work?
Are you using a mod?

[Frigz]

they all acted the same with no diffrences
no not using any mods and never have

[Eothese]

not using any mods and never have

Then you shouldn't be getting that log error. My your Graphics card is on the burn out... you say your pc is being replaced because its old?
Are you running XP?
How much free disk space is there on your C drive?

[Frigz]

Thats weird, because its all straight from the dvd :S
and yeah im replacing my pc because its just old and showing some signs of being old and i saw a hp pavilion with 4g ram and a geforce 8600 for only 400 euros so thats a big improvement anyway(i think)

yes im running XP home and i have about 8gig's of space free. from the total 70g() thats on it.

Well, soon your problems will be over.

[Eothese]

When was the last time you defragged your harddrive?

[Eothese]

Its either your install is poor because of your hard disk's age and condition or your battlemodels_db file could be the culprit. You may be able to download a formated battlemodels_db file from here somewhere.

I use a 8600 GT with 512 dedicated video memory, I only have 2G of ram and Medieval runs like silk off a swans back, even on full settings, in fact once I got this new PC I found a new setting 'extreme' which I had never seen before on my old one.

[Mythic_Commodore]

I'm not sure that an 8400 is your best option. The way Nvidia works is kind of funny. The first digit in the number - for example, 8400, denotes what series the card is in - in this case the 8 series, a fairly new series that should be decent. The problem lies in the second number - for example, 8400, denotes what market the card is aimed at. The higher the second number, the more expensive and powerful the card is. So although your card is in the 8 series, which is pretty good, it is also the model 4, aimed at people who won't be playing a lot of modern games, so it will probably struggle. I would go with either the 8800, 9500, or 9600, depending on your budget. (9500 is cheapest while 9600 is best quality). Good luck!

[Frigz]

Thanks for all the help in info

i couldnt wait so i bought my new computer already. 3gigs of ram and a geforce 8500 GT. runs smoothly on the highest settings in medieval 2. great card definitly! It runs fine now the game... however its too bad there wasnt a solution for my problem is the first place, incase someone else has the same problem

Thanks alot and i'll enjoy playing MD2 once more

[Mythic_Commodore]

Great to hear!
