Medieval 2 Total War Installing Problem

**Phalanx300** · May 20, 2009, 11:20 AM

Ok, so I installed Medieval 2 Total War and it worked perfect. Then I went online but could only see two red games and someone said that I should download the 1.2 Patch to play online. I did so and after I installed the 1.2 Patch I couldn't start Medieval 2 anymore, I kept getting a unspecified error after I pressed start. So I uninstalled Medieval 2 completely and now when I try to install it agian it just stops installing at one point?

What other games do you have installed?

Right now I have Battlefield 2 installed as well.

That will stop you. The copy protection doesn't like its copy protection. Both use Securom and Sega's will not let you play or update Medieval2 as long as it can find Battlefield2 any place on your harddrive including registry entries.

You have to choose one or the other. You can't have both.

I do remember having them both installed at the same time at one point, I didn't have Internet then though on this pc.

Damn copyrights ruining my games! I gues it also counts for other games like Call of Duty 2?

It could I don't remember Call of duty. You can google for it. My way is type in copy protection call of duty and follow a couple of links. You can do it for any program besides games.
