Mod doesn't launch.

[Mazzi]

- What is your operation system? (WinXP, Vista, Windows 7) If using Vista or 7, did you deactive the User Account Control while installing? 7, edit: Yes, I did now.
- What version of Kingdoms do you have? (1.4, 1.5) 1.5
- What version of Stainless Steel are you using? (6.0, 6.1,...) 6.3
- What submods have you installed with said version (if any)? None

Whenever I try to launch SS it goes on the intro screen then crashes to desktop. I've tried to launch Vanilla and it works.

Do not know if this deserves a thread. :c

This is the last line of the log which I think is the cause:

19:26:15.465 [system.io] [info] exists: missing mods/SS6.3/preferences/player.txt

Upload your full log as a zip and confirm that your ran the submod manager (ss_setup.exe in the SS6.3 folder).

[Mazzi]

I did run the submod manager. And I hope I uploaded the log correctly.

Very strange. Please delete SS6.3 in mods/ and do a complete reinstall of SS6.3 after that. If your M2TW is installed in program files install SS6.3 outside of program files (for example C:\Games\SS6.3)

How did you go with this Mazzi? I have just started getting the same problem.

13:32:31.562 [system.io] [info] exists: missing mods/SS6.3/preferences/player.txt

I've done the reinstall but not outside of Program Files\SEGA\Medieval Total War II, did that work for you?

Task Manager won't let me End Task for kingdoms.exe, I'm also stuck with the little spinning disk mouse pointer that you get when accessing the disk upon loading.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Uninstalled the mod, installed again and tried without the Sub-mod Compilation and it started normally. Then installed the compilation and the patch... same problem, I get the loading screen and then it just goes back to the desktop.

Also having the same lines in the log.

Edit: Hmm, disabled Buildings, Renovation, Innovation and Castles mod and the problem went away...

Disabled? how? Any other way for that than using the setup thingy, I cant get even that running. Other than that I got the same trouble here.

[Slugger78]

I looked in the other mod subfolders and they don't show a player.txt at this location either. I'm really puzzled because I thought I'd give it another go yesterday and it worked then, but today when I tried to play it again it has reverted to not wanting to load. I get to pick between starting an Early Era or Late Era campaign, the little loading bar goes to the end and then it all hangs when looking for the disk. (Yes, the Kingdoms disk is in the drive) I've changed nothing since yesterday so I really don't know why it won't work.

Ok, Mazzi and everyone with this similar problem.

get the files from Bane's signature 1st do the patcher then put in fixes.. the last fix didnt work with me so if there is any troubles, just experiment with them.
I could even install the meneth's sub mod thingy on the fixes (not the last one ofc as it didnt work with me)
