[Rodina38]

I installed BC 2.0 to the Medieval 2 Total War folder, 1.2 version. I always get this crash when I try to run the game. Can somebody explain why please?

II. Preparation for installment

BC 2.0 will install in a separate mod folder, and it will not interfere with your other mods or the original game. Follow the instructions below to ensure most optimum installation and bug free play.
Start with uninstalling previous version of BC (1.0 or 1.05), and MTW2.
Install Medieval Total War 2 (vanilla game)
Patch to version 1.3
Defragment your drive
For people who extract their MTW2 files, you cannot have the BC 2.0 and extracted files in the same root folder (SEGA/MTW2) Instead extract your files in separate domain. Failure to do so may crash the BC in some cases.
Continue to installation steps
III. Installation
Start the installer by running bc20.exe
The installer will automatically detect your M2TW installation folder, if this does not work manually select your main M2TW directory, (e.g. C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War)
Select your original game version (ENGLISH vs. NON-ENGLISH) and start the installation process (NOTE: wrong selection here will cause CTD issues!)
Start the game with the Broken Crescent shortcut on your desktop
IV. Installation with the M2TW Gold Edition

Users of the M2TW Gold Edition please follow these steps to install BC correctly.
Install the M2TW Gold Edition with at least one Kindoms expansion and update Kingdoms to version 1.5
Install BC 2.0
Install the bc.cfg file from here (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...80#post5496180)
Apply BC patch 2.01
Locate the map.rwm file in Medieval II Total War/broken_crescent/data/world/maps/base and click "compatibility files", then delete the map.rwm
Note: map.rwm is not locatable using any search features, you may have to do it manually.

Hi BC-Team. Thanks for this great mod ! Unfortunately the game works not error free. I have started a campain with Makuria. Since the year 1205 I can not load my saves. I hope everybody could help ( I use Vista )

The issue you are talking about is well known for me. Somewhere between 1204-1207 you will get constant CTDs (at least I and few more people did). All you have to do is not to use load-save options during the period.

Aha thank you very much Wudang_clown In future I will avoid to save or load saves in this period (1204 - 1207). I think my Makurian saves (they were made all about 1204- 1207) were crossing the Jordan.


EDIT: Unfortunately the saves after 1207 are also unusable I have played until 1214 and than I load the save of this year. The same error. Is the campaign playable after 1204 ? Please help ! I don´t like to play third time
