Crash on start-up (v1.4)

Hi, I downloaded the mod and I was ready to play when....DANG the mod crashes on start-up

I tried re-installing 3 times, I have put the sounds without the edu, I put the menu fix but everything crash...I can only see the start-up screen then it gives to me unspecified error

Here's the log attached:

there is no solution for steam users. Not yet anyway.

Yeah if you use Steam you are done for. It just won't work. Don't get too upset though, it's unplayable till THP gets his fantastic Real Warhammer mod out

hmm...it may seem strange but I don't have steam

Which download/torrent did you use?

Hotfile + sharingmatrix (sound)

Hmm... the torrent may be bugged. Try using the Gameupdates torrent. I think that one doesn't crash upon startup (but keep your current folder as well).

My isp is fastweb and I can't download the dorrent cause it downloads extremely slowly like 1kb/s

Can someone please take a look at my log??

1) Use my download, its fast and it works.
2) You MUST install THP's menu fix if your Med 2 is English.

Here, try my text folder. I'm not sure if it'll work, but your log says that you are missing some text files

howsoever it crashes =(

RG I will download your files hoping it will works

Hi CoW was crashing on startup for me with the steam version of Medieval, but all I needed to do was add Call Of Warhammer to the kingdoms launcher.

I tried using the steam tool I've seen mentioned before but that wasnt working for some reason, so I manually added what was needed to the registry.

Now it works just fine, start the mod with the shortcut and select CoW in the launcher.

If anyone is having problems playing with steam i'd be happy to help out.

But remember, after my files try THP's menu fix unless your Med 2 is Russian. Also, is Kingdoms patched to 1.5?

Would you mind telling us how you did it?

Rep and many thanks will be given

Yeah of course, i'll try and keep it as simple as possible.

You can add the stuff to the registry pretty easy by making an empty text file, copying one of the following in, saving, and renaming the extension ".reg". After that you just double click on the file (it'll ask if you're sure you want to edit the registry) and that is that.

I have 64-bit Windows so the contents of the file are:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\Mods\Official\0004Call of Warhammer]
"DisplayName"="Call of Warhammer"
"GameExe"="kingdoms.exe"
"Path"="mods/Call_of_Warhammer"
"language"="english"
"version"="1.05.000"
"FullName"="Call of Warhammer"

I haven't tested 32-bit myself, but it should be:

"Path"="mods/Call_of_Warhammer"
"language"="english"
"version"="1.05.000"
"FullName"="Call of Warhammer"

As i said, I havn't presonally tested the 32-bit but I would be very suprised if that entry is incorrect.

Also this is assuming that the name of your CoW folder is "/mods/Call_of_Warhammer". If it is different then simply edit the "Path" section of what I have posted.

If there are any problems I will do my best to help.
