Help - Can't start a new campaign

[Charlie A]

Problem. The thing is, I've happily played away with Medieval Total War before on this same computer. A while back, I uninstalled and yesterday, I got the urge to reinstall. All went fine. I can have a quick battle and I can have a custom battle but I wanted to start a new campaign, something I'd done beforehand. Only, once it loads it take me to in-game menu. I click resume and it loads again but only goes on to load the in-game menu, meaning I can't actually play. I then went on to download the patch but that hasn't fixed the problem.

I wonder if this is a common problem and there is some easy way to resolve it or am I plain screwed and'll have to buy myself a new copy?

Do you mean that you can't start a new campaign, or that you can't resume a campaign you saved long ago, and loading the old save file doesn't work?

If it's the first case, that's really weird. In the second case, maybe that your file is corrupt or something?

I mean I can't start a new campaign. Sometimes it'll just take me to get desk top too which, after research, is told as a similar problem that can be fixed by changing settings on your graphics card. Not quite sure what I'm supposed to do and how I could do it though.

Uuuh, but you said you had the same computer?

Did your graphic card changed since?

It hasn't. That's why I'm even more confused.

Might have to see if a reinstall does the trick.

I am sorry I can't help you. But you really should post this in the Apothecary, that's where the technical experts are.

Maybe not a new graphics card, but how about a newer video driver? There are known problems with newer nVidia drivers, one of the symptoms is exactly what you have described.
