    Default Unspecified Error

    Hello,
    I'm new to the forums and have been looking everywhere for an answer but cant find any. Every time i try to go into "Quick Battle" or "Custom Battle" and even when i try to start a new campaign the game exits and says * Medieval 2: Medieval 2 has encountered and unspecified error and will now exit* I've followed all the instructions carefully and am almost 99% sure i installed it correctly, whats wrong??

    Thanks

    have you just installed Vanilla ?

    did you change the security to allow full access for med2? (UAC and Virtual store fix let me know if you haven't heard of this i will explain because this will trouble you with submods which you will want later)

    have you tried the usual suspects? i.e

    deleting the map.rwm file located- data\world\maps\base\map.rwm
    deleting all files ending in strings.bin in - data\text
    deleting the two geography_new files located in -data\descr_geography_new.txt and descr_geography_new.db

    I have tried the Usual Suspects and it did not work for me
    But could you tell me about the UAC & Virtual store??

    the essence of virtual store and UAC is that it adds an extra protection for program files as it moves files and a fake file (it's not really there ) is located in it's place but it leaves markers so that games can still find them and run them normally..

    now the problem Med 2 was released before this system was released for Windows 7 and vista therefore the med2 engine doesn't have a clue whats going on ..

    to try and fix in your current installation :

    go here : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...=1#post8287059

    apply step three and the PS then search VirtualStore on your computer and delete any med 2 folders contained there.

    this only apples for windows 7,8 and vista i believe (later OS may also have it)

    i am afraid to say i had to do step three ad then re install carefully following the installation paths this is not the norm though .
