    Default Medieval II has encountered an unexpected error and will now exit

    So I'm running Medieval 2 for the first time in ages off of Steam and get a CTD every time I try and run a custom battle with the Unexpected Error message. Here's what my error log says.

    Vanilla? Mod?

    Hey Irish, I got also the same message, but never got to play the game first time in this HP Mini 1000 netbook. I was hoping for M2TW to play the game.

    The OS installed currently is Win XP SP3, but planning to rechange it to Win 7 Ultimate.

    I tried to remedy the preferences folder problem in the main M2TW folder and still got an error:

    Best attach your dxdiag to your next post. I pulled up the netbook and HP does not tell me what I really need to know.

    Okay, here's my DX Diag attached in my post.

    Default Re: Medieval II has encountered an unexpected error and will now exit

    I would say don't bother trying it on a netbook. http://www.intel.com/support/graphic.../CS-021400.htm medieval2 is not listed.

    I would not try to upgrade to Win 7. Others with HP products have had to roll back because of Vista or Win 7 drivers.

    Default Re: Medieval II has encountered an unexpected error and will now exit

    Roll back, you mean, use lower versions of the driver? Also, if I am to try M2TW in a netbook like the HP Mini 1000, what should I expect? I'm also going to install 3DAnalyze for this netbook, thinking it will help the graphic performance.

    Also, I checked the compatibility of this netbook in systemrequirementslab.com and it said that the CPU only is not matched to play the game, tho I have a dual core 1.6 Ghz processor in this netbook.

    The 945GM is part of the processor and part of the problem. If Canyourunit is using the same specs CA gave them before the game's release, their analysis is wrong. The 1.2 patch made the benchmarks for 1.0 totally out of date.

    The game only uses one core even though my present processor has 6.

    Maybe #D Analyzer can help but I do doubt it.

    Sorry to enter this in, but can Rome 1 afford to be played in my netbook with these specs?

    - Also, where was the error of the game coming from? From my CPU or the game install itself?
    - Can copy-pasting the game files from a computer successfully installed and played M2TW will work?

    Check the link I posted to see if Rome1 is listed.

    I'd say your notebook. I have played this game on some pretty minimum specs but not this low.

    - Can copy-pasting the game files from a computer successfully installed and played M2TW will work?
    No. The registry keys won't be installed. It's not like the old DOS days where this was common practice.

    Default Re: Medieval II has encountered an unexpected error and will now exit

    Follow up for the third question, what if I deleted all the files of the previously installed M2TW (not uninstalling, just deleting the directory files), and copy pasted the directory files of the M2TW that works (plays and never crashes, almost perfect condition) from another netbook/laptop, will it work? Take note that the registry keys were not yet removed in this case.

    I can't afford to buy a new laptop right now, so I must compromise myself in this netbook, but looking for the best one.

    Try it. There is always that chance it may work.

    Thanks. +rep

    I'll inquire you if things won't work. I got a copy of Win7 Ultimate SP1 now downloaded, and might fix this with my fellow TW player who shares files with me.
