End turn CTD

Hello.

The mod is very very good. Congratulation for the modder's team.

But I have some problem of CTD. So, nearly each two or three turns, when I end turn or when it's the turn of other faction, I have a CTD.

There is a message box where is write nearly : Medieval II total war have encountered an unspecified error and will now exist.

Sorry for my bad english, but I am french.

Play in "windowed" mode, or set your computer monitor display to 1024x768. Let us know if either solves the problem.

I have change my screen resolution in 1024x768. After four more turns, there is no CTD.

But I have to change each time that I play EBII my resolution screen.

Thank you for the solution. If the problem comes back, I will post for it.

The alternative to changing your display every time, is to play in Windowed mode. M2TW is an 8-year old game and doesn't handle all the new display resolutions. Glad we solved the immediate problem for you!

But, Ichange to windowed mode a the mod still crashing, any idea?

The problem has come back after ten turns.

So, I have enable windowed mod. But ten turns later I have a new CTD. But this time something is writing :

Script: D:\TW\Medieval II Total War -EB II\Medieval II Total War\documentation\tools\demo_launcher\launcher.wsf
Ligne: 1114
Caract.: 4
Erreur: Permission refusée
Code: 800A0046
Source: Erreur d'exécution MicrosoftJScript

Are you by any chance running the game using the non-Steam shortcut on a Steam install? Several people have reported having lots of crashes which miraculously go away when they use the Steam shortcut (launcher).

No, I have the disc

Hi everyone,

I've been having this very same CTD since the first moment I started playing a campaign on EB II. I have a Steam version of both M2TW and Kingdoms and I think I found a solution for this. So, here's what I've done: I've deleted the .cfg file in the EBII directory and I've added all its data in the .cfg file in M2TW directory and, since then, I've had no other "end-turn CTD". I think the new medieval2.exe is simply ignoring the .cfg file in the EBII directory.

I hope it helps!

Btw, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant mod. Seriously, amazing job!

Oh, I just forgot, you have to make the medieval2.preference.cfg file a "read only" file after the customization or it will be overwritten the next time EBII is launched.

Oh!

I think I spoke too soon as I just had another "end-turn CTD"... it seems the solution is not here. Maybe someone will fix it some day!

try this:

Start in: "[your directory]"

Obviously you have to swap the [your directory] with your actual path to your kingdoms.exe (or launcher.exe for steam). Do make sure the quotation marks are there as I put them. This should work.

Try the file found under "When I run the non-Steam shortcut on my non-Steam M2TW, it fails to run and I get an error saying M2TW has encountered an error and needs to close." here.

This ought to help you too.

Thank you. I have just to try this and it works, but I have again CTD. Less than before (the CTD occurs nearly 20 turns later).

I have try to start a new campaign (with Koinon Hellenon), but nearly the 30th turn, I have a end turn CTD.

In my roman campaign, I have see some problems :
- the arevaki faction has a roman symbol for her armies and her towns.

- in Messana, there are two cities states to build.

How do you set the game to windowed mode? I chaged the cgf file in the EB mod folder so that windowed = true and put it to read only, and it did nothing. I then added the same thing to the M2 preferences file in the main M2 folder. The game started in a window, but when I tried to enlarge it (it started at less then half my screen size) the game crashed and it doesnt start windowed anymore.

It should be windowed = 1.
