Please check General Death videos and if necessary apply the info for medieval preferences to your ss config.

You mean to copy medieval2.cfg to ss.cfg??

**bɑne** · May 24, 2011, 04:14 PM

Apply the same changes to the ss cfg IF the changes to medieval2 preferences cfg dont work

Possible that UAC reverts your changes OR the changes aren't saved in the first place.

I have windows XP no vista or win7 and probably they aren't saved at first place because i tried before a minute at vanilla and death movies aren't showing.Do you know were are saved the prefences?

C:\.................\Medieval II Total War\medieval2.preference.cfg
C:\.................\Medieval II Total War\\mods\SS6.4\default.cfg

Those are the two files that have the setting you need to change. If editing them doesnt work just delete them, the game will recreate a standard version. If that fails then I've run out of ideas.

Hmm.. Today when i started my game a message from windows appeared and it said that the game have to recreate the .cfg archieve i press ok and the game started,but when i go to play battle and general died there was no dead movie.I went to file and saw that my pc made a file same such as the deafult.cfg but it was renamed to ss6.3.cfg i deleted it with medieval.cfg as you proposed but when i start the ss it's says that it have to recreate cfg file and again renamed to ss6.3.cfg and no default.cfg.Now i reinstall it.

edit:medieval.cfg i working right the only problem is the ss6.3.cfg file

[video]
no_background_fmv=true
unit_detail=high
movies=false
windowed=true
borderless_window=true
stencil_shadows=true

[game]
unlimited_men_on_battlefield=1
label_settlements=1
event_cutscenes=false
allusers=1
micromanage_all_settlements=1
advisor_verbosity=0
label_characters=false

Let's try this once more, change the bold entries in ss6.3.cfg or default.cfg (really doesnt matter which one you have...) to true.
