Factions not showing up

**mcracken1984** · July 19, 2011, 01:06 PM

The only 2 factions I can play in the mod are Antioch and Jerusalem. None of the other factions from Kingdoms even show up. I only have cd 2 of kingdoms could this be the reason?

Welcome to the TWC forums!

A little information first if you don't mind. Is this a boxed or Steam version of M2TW? What OS are you running? Does your 'vanilla' Kingdoms (crusades, americas etc.) play correctly?

Did you follow these instructions carefully?
KGCM v4.2 install instructions

This is the boxed version and I have windows vista 32 bit. And all kingdoms games work fine. But i only have 3.0

Ok I installed 4.2 into the main m2tw directory and I extracted the menu crash fix like the website said and now I have all of the factions for the grand campaign. But now some of the factions have blank symbols and the game crashes when I try to start the grand campaign or run a custom battle

Did you disable UAC for the M2TW folder?
From the FAQ thread:

Missing faction symbols for Vista users?
The patch does not install properly on Vista. What you need to do is install the patch onto your desktop and then manually copy the files to the KGCM mod folder. Example SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod\data. The new faction symbols should now display correctly.

I have had UAC disabled for a while now from playing total war. I didn't know you could disable it for certain programs i just have uac turned off on the control panel
