Question about SS and vanilla.

[Henry X]

This is less of a bug or troubleshoot than just a question to the community in general.

Since my game crashed recently, I took a look at the error log and it would appear that a lot of things are missing.

Like a lot.

A ton of things.

So, I was just wondering if anyone would know if this is just a bad vanilla install or a corrupted version.

And mods, could you leave this up for a day at the most, just to see if its a vanilla problem what with textures and models missing among other things?

I recommend posting this in the bugs forum... the log you posted is the default installation log and does not show the crash... to remedy this, you have to change a couple of lines in the log tracing script (which, unfortunately, I have no clue to how to do)... do a search in the bugs forum and see if you can find it...

good luck!

The lines about things missing dont mean anything and wont cause crashes.

Ah okay. I'll change the log settings and see what happens. I know how to get it display the data, I must have just done it wrong at first.

So I started up a siege battle (Lithuanians attacked me at hamburg; I was in a castle).

The loading bar didn't load up much (or any) and then it said that Medieval II: Total War has encountered a problem and is checking for a solution.

If it helps, here's a better error log.

hhmmm.. it doesn't say when it goes CTD, usually the last line does that... so I can't determine if the last lines are responsible...

BUT it does seem that some of the animations for northern european siege battles are missing... Have you tried a siege on a middle eastern map instead? that way we can determine if it is only the NE animations that are missing or not....

although, you could try to uninstall the mod (with the UAC disabled if you haven't done that though I suspect you now that already ) and delete the SS 6.3 folder and then reinstall it... that way, any missing animations from the install can be reinstalled again..

Do you run the game in Widescreen? If so try it without widescreen as i think when looking around for help with my problem i came across something similar and it mentioned widescreen.

When it closes the message reads:

Medieval II: Total War has stopped working.

When I loaded up the game this last time, I used a custom battle and the culture set to Middle Eastern (though the map itself wasn't, but I believe that to be a non factor).

I then loaded up a custom battle (open field) and couldn't play that. So I've started up a Crusader States campaign to see it will work then.

What's the money cheat (I'm strapped for cash in that campaign).

[Henry X]

Aye, no luck.

I'm going to reinstall tonight.

Everything.

money cheat

open console. write add_money XXXX where the X's is the amount of money... the max number is 50000 I think so you have to repeat it if you want more...

so what happened after reinstalling?

[Henry X]

I've installed vanilla M2TW and had success.

Patched and it still worked.

Installed Kingdoms and it still works.

Patched and need to try, though i think it should work.

Downloading SS while testing it. I'll get back to you. But I think it was just a bad install last time.

Patch 1.05 works perfectly.
