i have trouble installing BC.

[Toho]

well the problem is i installed it outside of the TW folder as suggested because i have windows 7. and when i run the Exe file the black window pops up for 3 seconds some messages pop up in there then it closes just as fast then i stand there waiting for the game which it doesn't

what did i do wrong and how do i fix this?
btw can i get a screen shot of the campaign map?

thanks a lot

You need to reinstale DX ... just go to the Microsoft website or google it after that BC will work

[Toho]

can you tell me which file i should download? should i start with 2.2? or should i download 1.0 then 1.1 and etc...?

[wudang_clown]

It was suggested that one shouldn't install the game and the mod in Program Files. But one has to install Broken Crescent into M2TW directory, obviously.

i installed it on my desktop and still have the same problem and i also did install DX. anything else that i should do?

i get "MT2 has encountered a unidentified error"
i dragged my game folder from program files on the desktop and i installed BC also on the desktop then i dragged everything in the BC folder in to the MT2 folder on the desktop.
what am i doing wrong? its outside of program files and i run the BC exe file.

[Toho]

anybody? is the issue so complicated?

You shouldn't drag the folder, but when you install M2TW you choose the desktop or C:/Sega

[Toho]

il try that thank you

[Toho]

tried it this morning and here is what i did:
step 1 uninstall everything
step 2 install it in C/SEGA/MT2
step 3 install BC in C/SEGA/MT2
step 4 crack game(my steam game does not work for some reason)
step 5 use BC exe file and same problem "MT2 has encountered unidentified error)

what could be the problem?

[wudang_clown]

What version did you install - Steam one or DVD one?

[Toho]

DVD for now. i don't want to deal with steam's modding complications.

[wudang_clown]

In that case, install the game accordingly to instructions in that thread.

i know your trying to be helpful but i already know about that page...

the problem is i DID this i did install it OUTSIDE of the program files and i did install BC into the MT2 and i am STILL getting this stupid "unidentified error"
the DVD MT2 was downloaded and cracked because i have no CDs now can you tell me what patch should the game be in and give me all the details because i don't see a good tutorial on how to install this like EB has for Rome TW.

EDIT: the steam way looks WAY more complicated and i don't want to make it any more complicated then this already is.

Installation instructions are simple:

• Install Medieval II Total War ver 1.0
• Install Medieval II Total War patch 1.2
• Install Medieval II Total War patch 1.3

or

• Install Medieval II Total War ver. 1.0 and Kingdoms expansion (that process will upgrade Medieval II to ver. 1.4 )
• Optionally - upgrade that installation to ver. 1.5
• Install Broken Crescent ver 2.02

All should be done outside Program Files. While installing of any program, you should use right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" - this will grant you all needed rights to dig about in directories.

Installation must be absolutely clean.

That's all, I can't help any further.
