    Default CTD in Kingdoms on loading siege battles (Unspecified Error) - (Solution)

    Hi,

    Had this problem for about 2 weeks, searched alot of the forums but couldn't find the solution until seeing a post in the comments of a youtube video which hinted towards it. After trying it my issue got solved so I thought I'd also share it here.

    When playing M2TW:Kingdoms and starting a siege battle, I experienced the issue that Kingdoms would Crash to Desktop with this error (probably known to you ): "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit".

    The cause was the order in which I installed and updated M2TW and Kingdoms.

    This was the wrong Installation Order:

    -M2TW
    -Kingdoms (because I believed Kingdoms would automatically update M2TW to Version 1.4)
    -1.5 Patch

    After a reinstall, this order solved the problem for me:

    -M2TW
    -1.2 Patch
    -1.3 Patch
    -Kingdoms (1.4)
    -1.5 patch

    Please note that I own the retail(NON-GOLD) version. So this probably doesn't apply to GOLD or STEAM users. Which shouldn't be able to have this issue.

    Still hope it helps.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Non gold versions need to be patched to 1.3 before installing kingdoms (which upgrades to 1.4). If in doubt about your version install only M2TW and then check the version by going into options - the number is at the top right. Please note that it will say (for example) 1.03 instead of 1.3

    I have always been under the impression that the 1.3 patch is an upgrade of 1.2, eg that it includes 1.2 - but it won't hurt to install 1.2 first. NEVER install 1.1 - it's not upgradeable and you will have to re-install.

    You are correct that the problem will not affect Gold or Steam, both are patched already. I can't confirm if Gold's kingdom install is patched to 1.5 but I would assume so.

    I assume (I got one of those disks that still came with a sound track CD) Gold also includes the Kingdoms campaigns? Then it has to be patched to 1.4 at least.

    Bad phrasing, sorry. I was trying to say that I am assuming that "If Gold comes with the Kingdoms campaigns then it will already be (completely) patched to 1.4"
