Medieval 2: Total War Kingdoms has encountered an unspecified error and will now close.

[roman117]

So after TWELVE GOD DAMN HOURS OF TRYING TO INSTALL THIS MOD I finally got it to work.

And you know what happened?

I can't even get to the main menu because the game just crashes and it says "unspecified error"

So I reinstalled the game and spent ANOTHER TWELVE HOURS INSTALLING THE MOD and NOTHING WORKED.

Help?

@roman117

We need some more information in order to help you. Are you using Steam or retail disc copy? Are you running Windows 7 or Vista? It shouldn't take twelve hours to install the mod.

i have this same problem, except its when i try to start a custom battle(havnt tried the campaign yet so dont know about it) i have a retail version and windows 7

@LYNCHY: For battle crashes the first thing to check is day light savings time. Try disabling it.

For Windows 7: Click on the clock on the taskbar, click "Change Date and Time Settings," click "Change Time Zone," then finally uncheck the box that says "Automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time."

[LYNCHY]

Hi there and welcome to the TWC Forums!

First of all, when does your problem occur, during battles, after starting the game, during battle with more than two armies(reinforcements)?

Is your M2TW a steam version or some other(GAMESTOP, DVD)?

What Windows do u have?

Have you disabled UAC? Have you followed the Steam specific installation instructions?

[hokiesfan926]

how do you disable UAC
and yeah i watched a tutorial on youtube

[ElvenKind]

how do you disable UAC

Go to this link, and do a Step 3 in How to fix it section.

[hokiesfan926]

i know this is pretty annoying but it still isnt working, this is what it says after it crashes "It was not possible to connect to the update server. Please check that you have an active internet connection and that your proxy settings are configured correctly. Click on the Settings buuton to configure them." But i have an internet connection, i dont know what proxy settings are so maybe that is it but again i dont know what they are.

[hokiesfan926]

oh yeah and it also says to check proxy settings, i dont know what that means can you help me please?

[StealthFox]

That might be a Steam problem. Can you play other games on Steam? Can you confirm that you can play standard M2TW Kingdoms without any problem?

[hokiesfan926]

yeah i can play other games, and yes i can play M2TW Kingdoms without any problems, i just cant play third age total war

[ElvenKind]

Perhapse you should check this for installing mods on steam.

[StealthFox]

Try the Kingdoms launcher that Elvenkind posted.

Hello, I'm having trouble with just one battle. I can't fight in Minas Morgul. I can fight it automatically but when I try to actually fight it the game loads and then a message pops up saying that windows has detected a problem and will close the game. I've tried deleting map.rwm but it doesn't work. Also, when I do this I cannot restart the game as steam claims that it is running already while it is clearly not. Help please!

[StealthFox]

Are there reinforcements in the battle?

Are there reinforcements in the battle?

Yes, as the attacker I have reinforcements but not the computer.
