Not sure if anyone can answer this, but here goes :

I have my MTW (+VI) - Gold Edition ( Sega DVD ) patched to 2.01 , and the date of the MTW .exe is 30 / 1 / 2006.

I have today downloaded a MTW Gold Edition ( Sega ) 2.01 patch for the above ( to use as a back up - if necessary )
and I note that the MTW .exe is dated 5 / 7 / 2006 !!

I presume that the latter .exe is the same as the first .exe ( as both are version 2.01 ), but why the difference in the dates ?

A later production version ( perhaps ) comes to mind , but why would one be made / done ? ]]> Medieval: Total War DEB8 http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?144074-MTW-%28-Gold-Edition-%29-Patch-2-01-Sega http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?144005-MTW-in-virtual-machines&goto=newpost Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:01:06 GMT Hello everybody.

My first question on this fine forum would be, is it at all possible to launch MTW in any kind of virtual machine, like VirtualPC, VMWare Player or VirtualBox?

On my current physical PC, the game works more or less okay (well actually more like less okay, with lots of CTDs and about a 15-second delay before loading any kind of screen). But I'm afraid on another configuration I won't be so lucky (on my previous PC the loading time was about 3 minutes, totally unplayable).

In VirtualBox I have managed to successfully pass the Direct3D check, but then the game CTDs immediately at startup. Did anybody have more luck?

In VMWare Player 5.1 the game starts and even loads very fast (no more stupid no-reason delays!) but then returns into the pause menu automatically each time strategic map is loaded. (Battle maps load just great, by the way.) ]]> Medieval: Total War Eraser http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?144005-MTW-in-virtual-machines
