Can't start the campaign mode

[cdefreitas96]

So i downloaded the game and everything works perfectly, except that every time i trie to start a campaing, it just takes me back to the main menu.
I have windows 7, everything is perfectly installed and i have more than enough video card to run any type of game
also in my country we dont use the automatically adjust for daylight savings so please dont suggest that.
Please i really want to play this game so bad!!!!

Something isn't installed right. Have you edited any files or installed any submods?

[cdefreitas96]

and no i dont have any submods, and the only file that i changed was the maps.rwm wich i eliminated but it still does nothing

Did you disable UAC BEFORE installing TATW?

If not, you have to reinstall TATW I`m afraid , follow these steps here ( do steps 1,2,3,4,5, and 6.
STEP 7 is optional).

And just to be clear, your M2TW is non steam or STEAM version?
If you have non steam version, follow those steps, if you have steam version, follow these steps.

Then go to Virtual store ( C:\ Users\ [user name or your PC`s name]\ AppData\ Local\ VirtualStore\ Program Files(x86)\ Medieval 2 Total War\ mods folder), delete Third_Age_3 folder found there.

And you have the latest update of Medieval total war Kingdoms right? If you have tried everything said above, I suggest you reinstall it, and remember to remove any old installations of TATW.

Yes, i can play them at max graphic leves without any kind of problems.
the only game i have EVER had any kind of problem is this one

Okay, let's go back to the beginning and start over.

1. Disable UAC using either Method 1 or Method 2.
2. Completely uninstall all TATW related files, including any TATW related files in the virtual store.
3. Install all parts of TATW including TATW 3.0 Part 1, TATW 3.0 Part 2, TATW 3.1, and TATW 3.2. Run each installer and install into the location where you have M2TW and Kingdoms installed. Normally this is: "Programs/SEGA/Medieval II Total War"
