Game Crashes With Crusades

[drone]

Welcome to the Org, white lancer!

I haven't heard this one before. Which patch did you install, the Gold v2.01?

It's just be my speculation, but this might be due to the next/prev button problem, just with the unit buttons which never would get seen except with a crusade that exceeds 16 units.

Edit-> I wonder if this would fix it.

Thanks for the welcome! :)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the patch was 2.01. It almost certainly has something to do with having more units than is normally possible in a single stack--is there a common issue with the next/previous buttons? The Crusade thing freaked me out in the first game I played (as the Italians) as I was forced to spend years with a dying Crusade stuck in the middle of German territory, and I avoided using them for a while until my recent Spanish campaign. I'll see if the fix in that post works.

The speculation is that the way the next and previous buttons are rendered by modern cards/drivers cause CTDs. peter_de123 found (by process of elimination) that the buttons that got replaced by the P&M mod fixed the issue in the campaign map. You get the button files from the first post in that thread I linked to, Shandor used the same buttons for other up/down buttons and got around the issue he was having.

I haven't had the chance to try this fix, as I haven't had any time to play over the past couple of days (real life getting in the way ). When I opened MTW today, though, I noticed that in the upper right corner the version was listed as 2.0. I'm guessing this means I didn't actually installed the patch (I assumed I had, because I downloaded it and immediately afterward my major CTD problems got much better). I am not very PC literate, as this is the first time I've used a Windows operating system in years (I'm running it on a Mac using BootCamp), so installing patches is new to me.

I am running into a problem with the patch. I downloaded it, but whenever I click on the Medieval_TW.exe file, it pops up with an error message:

"The program can't start because BUGSLAYERUTIL.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I tried reinstalling MTWG (using Windows 7's "Repair" option), but it didn't solve the problem. What am I missing?

Which patch did you use? There is a different patch for the Gold version, located here.

That's the exact patch I downloaded. When I try to open the patch, it gives me that error message.
