I've only just heard of this mod

Im a massive TW fan (except for Rome 2 of course) and used to love playing Warhammer as a kid. im running windows 7 and I have M2TW gold on disc and I live in the uk. Is there a quicker way to download 1.5? its saying it will take 11 hours to download

surely there a faster way...

excellent! thank you cicero I now have it up and running. Just out of interest is there a way to improve the graphics? my computer can defiantly handle the graphics but the game appears to be heavily pixilated (more than tw2) evan though all graphic setting are on max. its to the point that it hurts the eyes

Yes make sure you are on "Shader Version 1" in the video options, and you can tweak the other settings to improve performance.

What you could do is use the console command "~" and type "auto_win attacker" (without quotes) and auto resolve. That command will make sure you will win with minimum loses.

It's a common bug I'm afraid. Custom settlements, or maybe it's the model for the Border Prince leader/heir, that can be glitchy sometimes.
Retreat, or auto-resolve. It's a pretty small glitch considering how massive the mod is.

It will not bug every time you fight a siege, just might be this one particular time, unless you don't have the patch correctly installed. I havnt had a bug in forever, but I don't play as dwarves.

**chris.k** · March 16, 2015, 09:46 AM

also if I attack a besieging army the game crashes

**chris.k** · March 16, 2015, 09:44 AM

grrrr so it isn't one siege its all of them. if I attack anyone's castle the game crashes

this cant be just a bug can it?

**keldor** · March 16, 2015, 12:31 PM

You may of missed a step in the installation. Or it may be, your computer not having enough memory. Now you say game is "heavily pixalated", can you provide a screenshot? I don't think its suppose to be that bad as you say.
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?500958-SIEGE-ENGINES-CTD-s-with-solution Check that thread, it could be that a certain siege equipment that makes it crash. If so then you probably missed a part in the installation.

**GreatSword** · March 16, 2015, 12:53 PM

Also check your resolution, you may need to bring it down

**chris.k** · March 17, 2015, 01:29 PM

right I've downloaded everything again (including M2TW and kingdoms) and the sieges still are not working. I've more than enough space spare with 430GB for the game. now I've a feeling the fault might be me and not the game as I download the torrent http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...e-Installation but im not sure I've put the patch's in right. if you scroll down the page slightly there's mention of my problem (post starts with 001 in red). does that help anyone see where I have gone wrong? ive checked med2 and kingdoms and they are working fine

Yeah, ive never had the problem you're describing after years of playing this mod. You probably have a faulty installation or a corrupted download. So try reinstalling or re downloading.
