Cant start new campaign...

[snipa30]

Ugh I need help guys. Trying to make stainless steel work all day already. I uninstaled and instaled it already couple times and still having issues. This time I installed it, launched game, choose early period campaign and when I choose some faction and press start, it kicks me out back to single player menu.
I am running window vista home edition x 32, my medieval is installed in program files(dont tell me I have to reinstall it again).

If that issue was resolved already before, can you provide me with a link to the solution?
After 7 hours of resolving issues by myself I am out of it.

[snipa30]

Oh yeah...First, I install ss6.3 full, then I patch it with 6.4.

[Nosjack]

Turn off UAC (user account control) then try and start the game.

[Birk]

Same problem here, UAC have never been enabled on my comp...

[Nosjack]

Did you run the setup.exe before starting the game?

[Birk]

Did you run the setup.exe before starting the game?

Yes it appeared after i installed 6.4. I tried to restart the computer and I still i got CTM. But it works now when i have setup.exe window up and starting a new campaign.

[Nosjack]

So problem solved? For you at least?

Yeah ty.

[S-te-Fan]

Still having this problem, tryed a lot.

[Nosjack]

Meaning you can't start a campaign?

If that's the case then:
1. turn off UAC
2. see if vanilla kingdoms works
3. re-install 6.4
4. (after uninstalling SS) re-install 6.3+6.4
5. uninstall everything related to M2, defrag, and install M2 to something other than Program files.

I kinda did everything. I reinstalled my computer today (Win7 x64), still not working.

[Nosjack]

Well if you re-installed the OS and not M2 then you could still get problems.

I would suggest a complete re-install.

I re-installed my entire system, I installed M2TW this afternoon. Kingdom works fine, copying my M2TW folder as we speak, to another map.

EDIT: Oh and now when I boot SS6.4 the game CTD's after displaying the knight with the sword.

Game works again (Installed in C:/Games) but now when I start a campaign I get a CTM with this error:

[Nosjack]

Assuming you have run the setup.exe after installing here is my Descr_strat and descr_regions, replace the ones that you have with these.

If this doesn't work than I have no idea what the problem is.

[DedBludUK]

Are those .txt files original 6.4 or have you made any alterations? Thanks for the help btw

[Nosjack]

IIRC the only thing I've altered is the rebel spawn value.
