Problems with the demo

**tzinacan** · 10-24-2006, 19:27

I installed, and when ready to play I just get the "medieval2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close"

it seems that other guys got it too
I run RTW so nicely to think that I should run M2TW at least ok

plz! I cannot wait to play!!

i read this:

"I heard that the demo needs SSE2 to run and simply won't run without it" plz tell me its not true

It is the case though.

Fortunately the game itself seems not to require SSE2... but you can better forget about MP if you happen to have an Athlon XP processor, untill this problem is patched. (If ever)

Gents,

I'm in the same boat too...
D
espite having all the requirements in terms of Radedon 9550 graphics card, a 939 socket AMD processor (according to Wiki), enough RAM, correct drivers, and multiple downloads and re-installations of the demo, I still get a

"medieval2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." reply...

I'm more patient than technical, so understand the cause to be either;
1, the phase of the moon
2, high voltage power lines
3, Microsoft

Could someone with a little more computer literacy help?

Astonkiller, I'm a noob too... Only recently found out what a USB port was!

To answer...
SSE2 is a mark that the Government puts on you a few hours after your born.
It can be found by pulling down your lower left eyelid whilst looking in the mirror.

You can enter the code you find on the link below...

Hope this helps?
