MOS 5.2 won't work

**Keyser_Soze** · May 30, 2011, 05:18 AM

Hi. I'm probably writing this in the wrong place, but I'm having issues getting 5.2 to work.
5.0 works perfectly. No problems at all.
However, whenever I try and update it to 5.2, I get CTDs on the splash screen. This is regardless of if I use cleaner or not.
Additionally, Cleaner will not work. It says that access is denied. I've set all files to not be read-only, and this doesn't change it. I've manually deleted files, and this does not help the issue at all. The CTD remains.

I'm getting frustrated. 5.0 is all well, but there are little bugs and errors which are frustrating, for example, not being able to build the house of Kings, even if you have the requirements. As a result, I would like to get 5.2 very much.

Does anyone have any advice of what to do, or how to solve this problem, if possible?
Thank you.

I'm on Vista, by the way.

Nothing conclusive.
Just the general "run cleaner, delete map.rwm" stuff, which doesn't help.
I'm relatively certain it's just a case of dropping and dragging 5.2 into the Third_age_sp folder, but this just results in CTDs...

yes i know thats exactly what i thought..i'm so lucky to have it work for my PC, cause i sure cant get it to work on my gf's..i tried removing and installing third age from scratch and still cant get 5.2 to work.

Sounds like it's my computer, then. Should I upload a log, and how would I? the document is massive?

Problem solved.
For anyone suffering this problem, delete your Medieval II total war folder in C/Users/*name*/Appdata/Local/Virtualstore/program files/SEGA (think that's the path).
Installed it again, and that's all I did differently.
