Info for All Windows 7 users!

Problem solved. I just had to delete the teutonic folder in my "C:\Users\My name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods" folder.

Anyone using Windows 7 should read this if you are having problems with the sound in version 1.01

And before anyone closes this thread, I just posted this so that way other people don't post similar threads.

In order to extract files to another folder, you MUST! disable User Control. Type "Disable User Control" in the help box to find it and put the slider all the way to the bottom. Once you do this, the mod will work.

Here's how

1. Open the "Computer" shortcut on your desktop

2. You'll see a little blue ? mark button in the top right corner of the screen. Click it.

3. A dialog box will come up. Type "Disable User Control" in the search box up at the top. Press Enter once typed.

4. Click on "2. How do I change the behavior of User Account Control by using the slider?"

5. Follow the instructions at the bottom of the page. Once you do that, you can play the mod (you may want to reinstall it though)

why close it? I'll make it sticky

I'm having trouble with music as well. But in Vista. I have installed and reinstalled, I am sure the download is correct, I even went into the mods folder and saw the correct files in the right places, but, there is just no music in the game.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm usually faster than this, but school has dragged me down a lot.

Any ways, here's a quote from another member who helped someone else who had problems with Vista

Sry for the late reply as well! I always keep my computer in sleep, I only shut it off when it updates, but when I turned of the UAC, it said it needed to restart, so I did. I didn't get any music in the game, but all savegames in all my mods were deleted! It's OK though, since I never really got far with them anyway. Anyway, I will try to extract the IDX file and see if I can play the music in its extracted form.

**Talic** · January 24, 2010, 06:16 AM

Just quick question, does removing that folder mess savegames?

**The Holy Pilgrim** · January 24, 2010, 09:08 AM

If your folders are in the virtual storage (C:\Users\you account name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\teutonic\saves), then just copy the "saves" folder over to your "teutonic" folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\teutonic) and all of your save-games will be there.

Updated first post on why some archives may say "Access denied"

This doesn't help my problem at all ToT

After reading the many many issues people seem to have getting this mod to run and all the extra

e i need to do ie. Delete this folder, Disable that, Virtual Store this, i will be staying away from this mod for now.... Seriously whatever happened to the easy one click installers that most mods use... Just seems like a bunch of

work that a proper installer would take care of.... But i am lazy so when i hear i am going to have to do a bunch of extra crap to get this working (other then simply downloading and installing it) my first thought is "Instead of wasting the Hours/Days it takes to download this mod i will just return to Thera, or TATW....or any other mod that knows how to package a proper install...lol

The vast majority of people have 0 problems installing and playing, and most problems are caused by users simply not reading the guides properly.

The game does have a one-click installer, which you'd know if you had tried to install it instead of guessing what the process may be.

Issues with UAC are windows 7 security based, not mod-made complications.

The Russian version is flawless, the English user community however did suffer from translation issues as the translations are done by the community, not paid staff/linguists/translators. Thankfully the excellent work done by several community members mean these English translation issues are sorted now.

I did not have any install issues and do not have any CTD issues and I use latest English translation.

The mod team and translators do excellent, detailed work and provide support, fixes and help constantly.

If you want something half-baked and unmoddable try Shogun 2.

If you want something driven by the love of Total War and Warhammer then this mod is definitely for you, even with that very difficult one-click install feature...

i hope you can help me, since im sorta stuck. i am a huge warhammer fan, since its first RTS. I got it off steam, read your post on how i should get it to work, but i have a major problem. Heres some other errors i dont care about, but maybe they could be linked

-If i dont start it with anything other than kingdoms.exe than select mod i get an unexpected error
-Some pictures are missing and theres writing where they should be (Its in russian so i dont know)
-This one is not really an error, but maybe worth noting (this is the least important) turns take forever and lag me (not my computer)
-Heres the major one. if they attack me (not sure if the faction depends since the same one keeps attacking me) my game crashes saying unexpected error.

it probably was an error on my side, i did what the tutorials said that were linked in the post for the mod. but i must of messed something up

You need 25 posts to be able to edit your posts.

General recommendations\tips when installing a mod:

Run the VirtualStore Fix, don't forget to delete the M2TW folder in the VirtualStore folder
Version 1.5 is installed into the same folder as Version 1.4.4, make sure to rename or delete the old version
For use with Steam, check this tutorial: Creating a World - Mod Install for Steam
Steam requires the launcher, you cannot use the regular desktop shortcut

-Thanks for telling me this, was worried that would be a problem, but i guess its natural. either way ive been doing this

note also: ive seen on some screenshots and videos that the welcome message when u start the campaign is in english with the english fix. i used an english fix but its still in russian. not sure what it could mean, but if u have any other suggestions it would greatly be appreciated
