Does not work on bootcamp.

I just installed third age and loaded it. I saw the loading page, but then it crashed. No report came up. I am on bootcamp and on steam. Please help

Hi there, and welcome to TWC forums

bootcamp enables you to use one of Windows OS versions, right?

And, you downloaded and installed Third Age 3.0 both parts, and Third Age 3.2 patch?

Oh wait. I see now. I am installing part 1 and 2 right now. Also, I have a mac and used bootcamp to get windows. Now I have windows and mac.

OK, If you have installed Windows, and have installed Medieval II Total War+Kingdoms expansion ( all with the latest patches), then, do the following:

1) First, take the Ownership of your main Medieval II Total War folder. This will allow you to make changes in your Medieval II TW folder, such as installing mods.

If you have Windows 8, use this method. If you have Windows Vista or 7, use this one.


2) Second, open your main Medieval II Total War folder, right mouse click in the Address Bar and press: Copy address as text.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

3) Run Third Age 3_0_Part_1.exe file which you just downloaded, and, in the Destination folder window, replace the Default Installation path with this one you have just copied ( Copy address as text ):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Repeat the same process with Third Age 3_0_Part_2.exe, and Third Age 3_2_Patch.exe file.

4) Make a copy of medieval2.exe file located in your main .\steam\steamapps\common\ Medieval 2 Total War folder

- now, rename the copy to kingdoms.exe

Start Third Age through regular BAT file ( the one present on your desktop as a Shortcut named Third Age, or, the one present in your Third_Age_ 3 folder, named Third Age.BAT ( BATCH ) file)

Good luck!

1) Open your main Medieval II Total War folder, find a file called medieval2.exe( Application).

2) Now, right mouse click on it, press Copy, and, in that same main Medieval II Total War folder, right mouse click and press Paste.

3) You will notice that you got a new file called medieval2-Copy.exe (Application). Right mouse click on this Copy, press Rename, and, name it kingdoms .

4) Go to your Medieval II Total War/mods/ Third_Age_3 folder, and start TATW with double mouse click on a file called Third Age.BAT ( BATCH )
