Game crashes when starting kingdoms

[Friggmus]

Hi,

I've been playing Medieval 2 for a few years, absolutely love it, and picked up the Kingdoms expansion pack a few days ago. But I encounter problems when I try to start after a spotless installation.

Here is the log that shows up in my directory after crash:

I have no idea how to decipher this so I'm turning to you for some help.
Prior to installing Kingdoms, I un-installed Medieval 2, cleaned registry, re-installed, patched to 1.2 then 1.3, then installed Kingdoms, patched to 1.5. Everything went fine during installation and Medieval 2 still runs perfect.
Oh, and I've tried reinstalling everything form scratch, problem still there.
Thankful for any help

Are you trying kingdoms.exe instead of one of the camapigns? You need one of the campaigns or a mod based on them for it to work as it is not a standalone .exe.

[Friggmus]

Lol, that simple huh? Well you were right and now I'm playing like crazy, if I'd have gotten a manual with the package it could have gone alot faster...
Thank you

[irishron]

Mine has the manual but the only way talks about entering the game is the launcher. It does not even address this problem.

And you're welcome.
