A bad install?

[Dom Pedro II]

Hey.

How to make sure i have a good install of the game? My game version is gold collection from Gamersgate. I'm wondering it since my system.log is giving me lots of data missing etc although the game seems to be working.

[irishron]

The usual log logs many files in the packs, not broken out as separate files. 99% can be ignored.

When the game quits working is time to worry.

[Dom Pedro II]

Thanks for fast replying, irishron.

If you don't mind i'll post my system.log just to be sure:

EDIT: Strange fact i noticed after downloading the game from GG. The medieval 2 tw gold installer appears to me but only medieval 2 tw vanila is installed, ignoring the Kingdoms expansion, so i had to install the kingdoms expansions separately located on disk files. During the download and installation, i had turned off my antivirus, UAC and firewall.

[irishron]

Yes, nothing in there to cause a crash.

[Dom Pedro II]

Do you think i have a good copy of the game installed, free of bugs, no missing files etc?

I installed the game manually on disk files, initially running the med2 exe, then the kingdoms expansions and finally the patch 1.05 provided by GG at their site.

My windows version is win7 64 bits.

[Swagger]

yeah it's all normal

[Dom Pedro II]

Saudações.

I'm just waiting for EB2 release and trying to make sure everything is ok.
