Cant launch TATW due to Gamefly app

**tgree** · June 27, 2013, 07:29 AM

I wonder if anyone can help me? I bought Medieval 2 and Kingdoms originally through D2D. They have since sold out to Gamefly. When both are installed I cannot find Kingdoms.exe. Third age will not start do to this issue. Gamefly has an application launcher for kingdoms that when opened allows me to choose which kingdoms mod I want to play. I believe that is why third age wont start. BTW third age is obviously not one of the options when opening the Gamefly app. Anyone have any ideas? I tried opening the app with notepad to see if I could add Third age to it somehow but couldn't figure out how. I am definately not a programmer in the least but do know my way around somewhat and can follow directions without issue. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

"Gamefly has an application launcher for kingdoms that when opened allows me to choose which kingdoms mod I want to play"

I don't think it is related to Gamefly (I have the same and mine is a plain gold version bought on GS), and anyway you can lunch the game directly from the mods folder

I was convinced there was a way to upload also submods launchers on the standard lanchuer, but I couldn't find the original tread.

If you have Windows Vista, 7 or 8 installed, did you also edited security of your main M2TW folder BEFORE installing TATW?

Can you first verify that regular M2TW and Kingdoms work without any problem?

Yes both regular and Kingdoms work.

I dual boot Win 7 and XP. I am trying to run this on XP because I figured I would have less issues.

You haven't answered my question in a post above regarding editing security for your main M2TW folder before installing TATW..

Also, you won't have less issues on Win XP but more, and, you will have a laggy performance and more CTDs due to TATW being a high demanding game.
