missing files?

[ra2z]

I keep installing the mod but for some reason files such as the launcher will not appear and the game will not launch, giving me no error at all. I am using windows 8

Ive fixed the missing file problem but the game will still not launch i am getting no errors or any signs of a launch, nothing happens. Ive tryed running steam as admistrator as well as the launcher and still nothing is working.

Did you check UAC and Virtual Store?

[ra2z]

Yup.

I just re installed the game but for some odd reason when i selected a normal campaign it launches but it quits, launches again and does this none stop, cant find a solution on google

Go here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...h-pictures-!-) :

1. apply first step explained in first post ( Edit Security for your main M2TW folder)

2. Remove currently failed TATW Installed files from your M2TW/ mods folder. Just do not delete one of your Kingdoms original folders!

3. Follow Steam installation steps for TATW 3.2.

Good luck!

[ra2z]

Did that already.

1. You have downloaded all four
TATW Parts+Patches all up to 3.2
version, and installed them in your
M2TW/ mods folder, or, in one of your
Kingdoms folders?

2. Have you renamed one of your Kingdoms campaign folders to something else( teutonic to teutonic_original ), and named Third_Age_3 folder as teutonic?

3. Do you launch it through Steam Launcher, or you launch it using some other Launcher?

[ra2z]

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Steam launcer.

You haven't answered my first question, did you install TATW 3.2 into one of your Kingdoms campaign folders? If you had, then you shouldn't have done that.

TATW 3.2 needs to be in its own folder inside of your M2TW/ mods folder, and then you can rename it.

If I were you, I would verify Steam game cache, and, in my Installation thread, there is a link to Kingdoms Launcher App which should help you with launching the game.

Sry if you missunder stood me, i did place it inside a new folder inside the m2tw mod folder eariler and renamed it to americas and i also verifyed my game cache but that did not work, going to try the launcher and see if this will work

[ra2z]

No luck, also when i try the other kingdom campagns instead of third age, i keep getting the same issue and also when i clilck play for the main campagin it just reopens the launcher and forces me to do it again and tells me that another game is opened?

[ElvenKind]

Well, then you screwed up somehow even the original M2TW, if this is the case, then unfortunately, you have to reinstall whole M2TW+ Kingdoms game.

If you are going to reinstall it, I would suggest to install M2TW+Kingdoms anywhere else, just NOT in your Program Files or Program Files (x86) folder.

[ra2z]

I reinstalled M2TW 3 times already.....

[ElvenKind]

You need to download Kingdoms replacement launcher, apparently original one is screwing you over:

[ra2z]

Same thing is happening even with the new launcher....

[ra2z]

The launcher just launches the game disapears and reapears even with this new one.... i tryed renaming medival2.exe with launcher but it keeps launching the game it closes and steam closes it again and does this none stop. So i apparently cant launch the game since it just closes it self out and re launch's the game repeatly?

Try it like this:

1. Install all parts of TATW (3.0 Part 1, 3.0 Part 2, 3.1, and 3.2) to the desktop.
2. Then move the Third Age folder to the Steam/Steamapps/Common/Medieval II Total War/mods folder.
3. Then rename one of the Kingdoms campaigns to something else, like change americas to americas2.
4. Then rename the Third Age folder to americas. Finally, select the americas campaign from the Steam menu and the mod should launch.

[ra2z]

Stealthfox, the issue now is that i cant even launch the game itself now, not just TATW. When i launch the none kingdom verison from the launcher it just exist's out and the launcher repears for no apparent reason and when i press play again it does the exact same thing, and when i try to launch any of the kingdom campagins as well as TATW, it does not start, the launcher closes without any errors or a sign of a launch at all?

[StealthFox]

Hmm, and you've already tried reinstalling M2TW and Kingdoms, right? That's the only thing I can think of to do.

Try asking for help in the main M2TW Tech help section:
