    Default medieval2.preference problem

    hey.

    im trying to get rid of those disgusting green arrows, but my preference file only contains these lines. ( i have started the game)

    [video]
    widescreen=1
    [game]
    allusers=1

    ...thats all.

    i have tried to just include the arrowmaker line under [game], it didnt work.
    i should say that im running the game on vista.

    i wont play another second whit the arrows, they really ruin the feel for me.
    anyone have an idea?

    thx

    Try renaming the medieval2preferences.cfg to something else - then run the game and set up your graphics options, play a custombattle and exit the game. You should have a brand-spanking new medieval2preferences.cfg with all the settings you use in it.

    first go to your folder option and make sure that you change settings so you'll be able to see all hidden folders and files.
    now go to 'users' folder, next double click on 'user' folder (the one that contains all documents, downloads etc). you'll see new hidden folder called 'AppData'. go there. there should be 3 subfolders. go to 'Local'. next folder that we're looking for is 'VirtualStore'. next again you'll see 3 folders. this time click on 'Program Files'. and depends where did you install your game you should be able to find folder. inside medieval2 folder there's another cfg file that you had to change. also this folder contains your save game and few other data. in my occasion i install medieval in games folder so my path is looking like this C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\ Games\Medieval2 Total War
    hope that helps you a little
