LTC and the german game version?

[kleitos]

Hi,

at first thanks for the great mod

I have the german version of the game and want to play the english faction with LTC. Strange thing is that i can play the french, the danish or the green italian faction (milano) without any problems.

But if i try to play the english or scottish faction, i get a CTD after some turns. I already did a clean reinstall but the CTD is still there, but only with the the british factions. Is it a LTC, a M:TW or a german-version problem?

I have the leaked patch and LTC 2.2 installed.

Thanks in advance for any hints.

P.S.: I also deleted the money script and the modified unit stats for testing

The first patch (english) did not work with the german version. I assume the 1.2 patch is english. So, have you tried to run the vanilla unmodded version, updated with 1.2? Are there perhaps the same problems?

Hi - thanks for the quick reply :-)

as far as i remember the 1.1 patch is region specific :-(

on my first try i installed MTW, than 1.1 for german and than the leaked 1.2 with LTC 2.2 and i experienced the CTD.

The second try i installed a clean MTW, tried to patch it with the english 1.1 patch without any success and than i installed the leaked patch. Whle installing the leaked one i noticed the gametold me it is updating form 1.0 to 1.2 - so the english patch didn't work.

I can play vanilla without any probs and LTC with some factions.

As far as i remember there was a tool ro Rome TW, EB that allowed to check the turns of the AI- Is there something like that for M:TW, too?

In one LTC 2.2 game i treid i got a CTD whaen clicking on my own english army and if i clicked on an enemy scottish army. In other games i got the CTD while the AIs turn.

I think i will do a claen reinstall when i got back from the dentist this afternoon and give it a new try - i will install M:TW and just use the leaked patch fpr pimping and than i 'll add LTC - i hope that'll help.
I'll give feedback when i tested that.

Are there any other players with a german or non-english version experiencing problems like me - with the game i mean ;-)

Kleitos,

I had the same probleme with the french version. In your Medieval II Total War directory, try replacing the events.dat and events.idx in landstoconquer\data\sounds with the vanilla files (from data\sounds). Works fine for me.

Hi Saint-Denis,

thanks for the hint. I have had no succes with the reinstall - the CTD still showed up. I'LL give your solution a try - i hope it works for me, too.

Thanks again - i'll give feedback as soon as my wife let me sit at my PC again ;-)

it worked for me without a problem, escept that some text passages are english now (like traits and unit descriptions)
