Launcher & String and CTD issues(post here)

[Campylobacter jejuni]

Like I said you didn't apply the fix I did, it should have been:
cd ..\..
kingdoms.exe @mods\EBII\EBII.cfg

That is interesting. Apparently unpacking the files directly into the folder with Peazip didn't actually override trhem. I had to extract them elsewhere and manually copy them into the folder. Good that that's settled now! Many thanks!

Guys, i'm really sorry. While downloading I had problems, when running through the factions I had problems, when starting the campaign I had problems, Text was all messed up after I turned off the graphics enhancement mod (strat, and then I clicked a random unit on the map and had a CTD. Only tried Taksashila.

I'm really sorry, and I hope you guys figured this out since I have reported every problem, but right now I don't feel like reporting bugs anymore before the most obvious ones are fixed. All bugs happened within 1 minute of starting the game, which is frustrating.

Have to say though: it looks fabulous, and I hope the people who don't experience any troubles are enjoying your wonderful (but still shakey) creation right now.

Ouh, some bad luck you had there then, for me everything ran fine so far :p

@ Alin, i use not the Steam Version.

I have us the Cretean archers in a costum battle. They can not use Burning Arrows?

Well, lucky you then. I honestly don't know what's the problem. Installed retail version from I don't know... 2006? When it first came out on dvd. Maybe that's the problem, but I honestly don't know anything about computers or modding so I would be lying if I said my input would be very helpful.

You need to google and install the 1.5 patch. Then install EB2 itself.

[Dumbkauf]

f those didn't solve the problem then we'll need you to post the following:
-log file, located in: M2TW\mods\EBII\logs
-the Windows version you are using(32 or 64bit and version: 7, 8, XP )
-steam or retail version
-install path

I am running WIN7 (64)

You seem to be using a medieval2 only(without Kingdoms patched to 1.5) install, EB2 requires a retail kindgoms or the steam version.

The same seems to be the case with the others, can't be sure w/o them posting these details.

This is how the first log should look like using a valid retail kingdoms install:
22:24:42.181 [system.rpt] [always] ==== system log start, build date: Feb 25 2008 version development ===

Or steam:

I'm getting the Text error as well... Tried all fixes to no Avail.

Post the whole log as the previous. Looks the same issue as I posted above(using a wrong medieval version).

I figured it out... I am installing from the Disc now as I found out that the Gamergate version does not install kingdoms like it says it does.

i had the shared.txt GER_generic whatever and i did all the steps from post #1 and then copied the text-fix from post #23 AGAIN and now it seems to be working!

sory for double post couldn't find how to edit my post. I wanted to mention that I didn't know which method of launching the game I should use since sory but it is downloaded(haven't got the means to buy it now) so first I run the non-steam shortcut and it opened medievaltw with just the EB music and I couldn't enter the grand campaign.

Then I tried the launcher (chose EBII) and the shared.txt error occurred.

After I did all the #1 post steps and copying the text file again one more time the game would work but with the non-steam shortcut only and if I tried the steam one that sends me to the launcher where I have to choose PLAY -> EBII the shared.txt GERR_GENERIC error occurs again.. hope this cleared things a bit..

I Keep getting CTDs when custom battle is loading and i try to fight a battle on the campaign map and the same thing happened, it is the medieval has encountered a problem and will exit now CTD.

Are you using steam or CD version? Are you using the appropriate and compatible shortcut of the two?

I'm using the CD version, i used the one for disc install, when i tried the one for steam it won't even load the game,then i tried the using the 3 launchers in the EB folder and they gave me the ''Shared.txt.'' CTD and after trying Alin's fix when custom battle is loading the same window will appear but the loading screen still behind and when it click on ok then it will go to desktop.

Closed while I was clicking around the campaign map, but it didn't crash.

Text Issue:

On first run of the game, did not have the text issue.

On second run of the game, tried to mess around in options a bit (nothing was there except the basic defaults to choose from). Didn't pick anything, but...
Started up a new single player grand campaign and had the text issue.

Tried Alin's fix. Worked fine, well, it did when I got around to unzipping it in the actual folder it belonged in. Unzipping that file to .../mod/EB2/ doesn't do any good, for those of you who like to mess things up like I do. Gotta go all the way to .../mod/EB2/data

I was having the same issue with the shared.txt lockup at launch with my purchased via Gamersgate edition. I tried all the fixes and what-nots, reinstalled everything multiple times, blah blah blah...finally I gave up and was about to purchase MTW2 for the third time, via steam. But I said the heck with it and decided to try and activate my Gamersgate code on Steam...and the coded worked, EB worked, everything worked. Not sure if this helps anyone, but heck give it a go and try to activate your non-steam gold edition on Steam.
