getting mad as hell

**Bresco07** · July 14, 2013, 09:08 PM

Hi all again , after a while i come back to play this amazing mod with my new pc , but the problems continue to follow me :

i see the 3.2 version is recently released and i become fan again of the mod xD

installation i follow the installation phases guided here : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...r-3-2-Released

Requirements:
- TATW 3.2 is a stand-alone version and does not require any previous installation of TATW, such as TATW 1.x or 2.x. (However, you must have installed the base 3.0 before patching to 3.2.)
- If you have installed a previous version of TATW (2.1 or older), it is recommended to delete the old version before installing TATW 3.2.
(Note that TATW doesn't change any registry settings of your system, so you can also delete the old TATW folder "Third_Age" manually.)
- TATW 3.2 requires the 'Medieval 2 - Kingdoms Expansion' and is compatible with the official patch 1.04 and 1.05. (One installed campaign of the 'Kingdoms Expansion' is enough)

Installation:
- Install
TATW_3.0_Part1of2.exe &
TATW_3.0_Part2of2.exe &
TATW_3.1_Patch.exe &
TATW_3.2_Patch.exe
into the default "Medievall II Total War" directory.
(Normally this is: "Programs/SEGA/Medieval II Total War")
If you have installed Medieval II into another folder, please select the folder manually.
- Start the mod with the 'Third Age - Total War' shortcut on your desktop

im a steam user so i follow this part using the amercias one to install the mod

1. Install all parts of the mod as instructed above.
2. Open "Steam/Steamapps/Common/Medieval II Total War/mods". There you
will find all your installed Kingdoms campaigns as well as the
"Third_Age_3" modfolder.
3. Edit the name of one of the Kingdoms folders (americas, britannia,
crusades, teutonic), preferably your least favorite campaign. The new
name doesn't have to be anything specific.
4. Change the name of the "Third_Age_3" folder to the former name of the
Kingdoms folder you just edited. For example, if you edited the
"americas" folder, the "Third_Age_3" folder should be named "americas".
5. Select the appropriate campaign from the steam menu. If you renamed
the "Third_Age_3" folder to "americas", select the americas campaign. If you
named it "crusades", select the crusades campaign and so on.
6. Steam will now launch the mod.

If you have installed 3.0 or 3.1 and renamed your folders before you have installed the 3.2 Patch:
- If you have already renamed the "Third_Age_3" folder to one of your 'Kingdoms' campaigns (for example to "americas") install the patch normally.
- After the installation, move the files of the newly created "Third_Age_3" folder to the renamed folder manually.
(For example cut the content of the "text" folder from the newly created "Third_Age_3" folder and paste it into the "text" folder of your "americas" folder.)
Note : The "models_missile" folder has to be copied to the normal ".../Medieval II Total War/data" folder!
- The "Third_Age" folder can now be deleted.

Alternatively you can use the Kingdoms Launcher App.

and i cant play ... after reading reading and more reading cases suffer by other ussers the problem still
i check the unexpedted problem and the med II have to close etc etc .... after 3 full reinstalls no way jose

the problem in short words is that the game open the launcher menu , i click on americas , strat run and the loading screen of the mod with a v3.2 in the side appear , adter 5 or 6 seconds the game go out and send to deskotp and from there dont move , i try to run it in compatible mode with w 7 , and also a post asking for the uac ( but only focus in permisions of that fodder to avoid virtualizing data files ) and im getting really sick with this . and help will be welcome

so i really dont know what to do ... i leave here my pc data and little below the system log
