Med2TW encounteres unspecified error.

[The Strategy-Player]

Hi! I've finally got the game, but I have this problem, and I had it quite often with the Med2GoldDemo too.

I will give you a link to my system log. I don't think it should be normal that it is reporting about so many missing files...

I give you another link too in case the first one wont work.

I'll appreciate all help I can get!

What are your system specs? Did you install it in the default directory?

[The Strategy-Player]

Yes. I installed it in the default directory, it seems btw that I am not the only one: Look here: http://p223.ezboard.com/fshoguntotal...icID=156.topic (I am the user Luximinus on that forum)


Here is something I wrote there:

Hmm, I am only getting a blue bluescreen, no text on it. But I often get bluescreen but it depends a lot of what game Im playing, but when I get a bluescreen with text it is often the ati2.dvag or something it mentions. But not everytime, It doesnt get better when I ended the game once on the correct way, the only thing it helped for was saving the settings and I got a file named keys.dat in the preferences =/

So we gotta find out what we have in common, to find out why.

Im pretty sure that I wrote the CD-key correctly.

But here is my DxDiag:

I shall try to campare with the others that have posted here and findt out what we have in common.

i changed the directory for mine, is that the possible cause for my ctd/restart's?

i get the same error message "M2 encounters unspecified error"

[AlfonsoVIII]

Well your blue screen as I understand it is not M2TW specific and applies to other games. Now I would update your ATI drivers and see if that helps. Make sure you uninstall the old drivers, restart and then install the new drivers.

I get the same thing, and with marriage videos (cut scenes).

I get the same error in the vanilla M2TW but it starts up Kingdoms campaigns just fine, only I can't do battles. Upgrading to the latest ATI drivers is what broke it but now when i downgrade back again it still doesnt work right. I can play kingdoms campaigns and just autoresolve every battle but I really wanna FIGHT!!

Edit: Here is my system.log when i try to start up vanilla M2TW.
