Help: Game Crashes

[Vyndorn]

I decided to come here for my error since Sega's customer support sucks, and they keep telling me to update my BIOS.

Anyhow, I use to play this game all the time on Windows XP, and now when I try playing my original version (not gold version) on my Windows 7, I get this error: "medieval 2 total war encountered an unspecified error and will now exit"

How do I fix it? Multiple people told me to try using the capability mode under properties, but I don't have a Windows 7 option. I also tried using the Windows XP option under that menu and it also failed.

Anyhow, all help would be appreciated. Seeing similar threads like this, they always request DXDIAG reports, so here is mine.

Please keep your posting about this in this thread.

Is your game DVD, Gold DVD, Steam, or other, and if other, what?

[Vyndorn]

The game is the original DVD, non-gold version. I bought Kingdoms at a later date (which btw is not installed atm)

[irishron]

Did you install it in its default folder?
Did you install it with the UAC enabled or disabled?

[Vyndorn]

It is installed to the default folder of "C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\"

And I was not prompted on UAC, I have it disabled from the PC control panel.

[PoleCat]

It is installed to the default folder of "C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\"

And I was not prompted on UAC, I have it disabled from the PC control panel.

One of the old tricks with installing this old game with discs on newer OS's was to install it to the C:\ root path or to install to the older [C:\Program Files] path instead of the newer [C:\Program Files (x86)\...] path.

As I remember there was a problem with the installer not fully writing out the Reg paths correctly if installed through discs on Vista and Win7. I think Steam installs were fine but I'd have to go back and check.

Here are the essential instructions. Uninstall M2 and Kingdoms. Scrub your Registry (If necessary Manually Remove M2). Reinstall both programs to [C:\Games].

Hopefully that will fix your problem. Good luck!

If you are logged in as Administrator, in the Emedieval2 icon > properties, it can be set "Run as Administrator".
Have you tried installing any of the patches?
Have you tried installing any mods?

[Vyndorn]

Administrator does not solve the issue and no mods are installed. I just installed it so the game was version 1.0, but I upgraded to 1.2 (via patch) and it loads up perfectly now. Time to start playing some campaigns!

[Vyndorn]

I ran into another error. When I go to select a campaign, and pick my team, no matter what I pick for the term length (short or long) it is blank, and when I click start, it goes back to the previous page. Ill upload a video to show you.

[irishron]

Back to menu is descr_strat problems, it sounds like.

Post the system.log.txt.

[Vyndorn]

Where can I locate this system log and put it here while the video updates?

[Vyndorn]

Believe I found it.

is the culprit.

In my 1.2 vanilla copy that line is blank. what is in yours?

[Vyndorn]

Is that in the system log? If so I copy/pasted the entire thing in my previous post.

[StealthFox]

No, he means what is in the actual descr_strat file. It can be found here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

[irishron]

Yes, it is in your system log.

[MiaMaedra]

I'm kind of hijacking this thread, because I've got the same problem. Every time I want to finish the ~ 51 turn, I get the message "medieval 2 total war encountered an unspecified error and will now exit" and the game crashes back to deskop.

I bought the game (Medieval II + Kingdoms) on Steam and currently only have Stainless Steal installed.
I read that it might help to turn on capability mode (I've got win 7, so I thought of using the win XP option), but I can't seem to find the option for that, even though it's fine with other games ... so I figured maybe it's because of Steam. So - where exactly can I find that option now?

[irishron]

Which are we discussing, Stainless Steel, vanilla, a different mod?

[MiaMaedra]

Well, I get the error while playing Stainless Steal, but I read that it happens in Vanilla, too, so I figured it should be an error of the original game ...

Settle it with the Stainless Steel forums first since you are playing their mod.
