1.2 bug Just my friggin' luck!

**Derfasciti** · 04-10-2007, 19:30

Ok, so I got the leaked patch. The first thing I tried was a custom battle to try out the 2h bug which seemed to have been fixed.

Then, I start a new campaign as the French, I attack Bordeaux within a quarter of the loading screen, the screen goes black when a high pitched chime (the error sound) goes off. I can't see anything except a white cursor.

I turn off the computer manually, I try it again. Same thing.

I then load an English campaign, go to battle almost 100% through the load screen it does it again!

Someone please help.

Did you install the patch over a v1.1 patched game? The news as I understand it says you should do a completely fresh install of the game and install the v1.2 patch over 1.0.

Ah, indeed I did.

So should I uninstall the game and then JUST install 1.2?

Ohh man.... I'm sorry I said you could install over 1.1.
I have'nt installed it, like I said many times, so I really should have STFU.

I apologise.

hehe it's ok. I'm just hopeing I can fix it.

It's ok Sinan, you were still a great help.

**Shahed** · 04-10-2007, 19:45

Thanks. :)

It's ok Dest. I blame Sinan for a lot of stuff.

He just looks guilty!

The best thing you can/should do is completely uninstall the game. If you can do it also, AFTER you've uninstalled, I'd go in and delete the remaining files, because there's probably going to be some residual stuff left over.

Say you installed the game to C:\Medieval II Total War\. Uninstall the game, then after that is done, odds are that directory is going to remain with some stuff in it. Just delete it.

Then, do a fresh install, and install the v1.2 patch over that fresh install. FAIR WARNING! It's going to take you probably an hour or two to install, patch, and then extract all the files using the unpacker (last step optional).

not cool at all!

Still not working.

At this point I'm just about to say screw it. :(

Just a thought: Does it have to be COMPLETELY unmodded in any way? If so, I had it modded from 1 turn =2 years to 1 = 1 before I added 1.2. Would that matter?
