    Default Battle Crashes with 2.3 on Vista

    Just downloaded and installed patch 1.2 and LTC 2.3 on Windows Vista, and to my surprise, the CFG files were correct from the get-go and worked smoothly.

    ...Until the battles! In the last 3 months, I've been getting battle crashes on Vanilla 1.2, could be my slightly eroded disk, or old files, but I deleted all my old files and did a fresh re-install.

    Now, in the last week, with Vanilla 1.2, I was getting launch crashes, didn't even reach the Sega/nVidia logo's in the beginning! Typical 'Unexpected Error' message...etc!

    Now, I decided that Patch 1.2 was crap. And after 100 re-installs I decided not to use 1.2, and decided to install LTC 2.3 on Vanilla 1.0...and it worked!

    Until I entered a battle..and immediately after the game loaded, it would black out and send me back to my desktop with the 'error' message!

    I wish there was a way around all of this -- and I didn't unpack ANYTHING, I'm not using ANY patch, just LTC 2.3! Is there any way I can edit files to make battles work? Or do I have to just make do's without battles.


    Any help, thanks!

    Yeah im not offering any support help for 2.3 installed over 1.0 as LTC 2.3 is only designed to work with 1.2.

    Oh, okay. Then should I download 2.1 LTC instead?

    Just a note: I'm using the Vista OS as well, and haven't experienced any crashes with 1.2 or LTC 2.3...

    Same here. A clean install + 1.2 + LTC 2.3 has been working perfectly for me on windows vista.

    So you might need to reinstall it that way. Plus adding MII:TW to your safe list for windows firewall can't hurt.

    2.1 only works with 1.1 i believe
