Problem loading Medieval 2 Total War

i have the same problem as Zap123 and thesutton24.
Please help all of us

Hi, I bought Medieval 2 a few months ago, and initially it ran fine. However, now whenever I click "Play Medieval 2: Total War" the loading screen comes up for about a second and then I get an error message saying "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit." Anybody know what might be the problem?

My Friend had this very same problem after he bought the game. What we did was create a disk image of the disk and save them on his hard drive. To do this we used a program like magic iso to create the image. Then a program like Daemon tools to mount the images and install. This worked for us I hope that it might help some of you. Also don;t do anything illegal with the images Creative Assembly worked very hard on this game and deserves to be compensated for all their great work.

p.s. Also if it is asking for the dvd to be in the drive. You can get a cracked exe file. Just google it. Again do not do this unless you actually bought the game.

Mouse problem

all my disks work perfectly atm. Graphics & sound r fine. works exactly the same as my rome did, wich was with nothing wrong EXEPT the mouse.

Whenever it is still the cursor is completely invisiblem occasionaly flickering into sight. When i move it it flicks fast like its there then it isnt. And there is a block of black surrounding the mouse. This makes it incredibly hard to see if archers r in range or not, get unit info and see wether or not units can move anywere or attack.

My mouse is a

Disc 2 read error workaround

this fix applies to the downloaded version of mtw2. I couldnt get the game to install because It wouldnt read from disk 2. So what i did was use power iso to extract all the disk images into one directory. this is the only way to get it to read the files off of disk 2. If done right It will never ask you for disk two. This is def not a hardware issue. seems more like some sort of copy protection because i had this issue on more than one pc.
ps. does anyone know the difference in proformance with x86 and x64 machines? Im willing to go back to x86 for improved proformance in mtw2. Diehard

Godgives

how much do the LG Drives cost?

Problem installing medieval 2 'gold edition'

Hey peeps....

Im attempting to install my copy of medieval 2 gold edition, however im having problem due to the destination file.

On my older copy of medieval 2 i can select my second hard disk drive 'J:' drive, however gold edition does not give me this option and will instantly attempt to install on my 'C:' drive....which doesnt have the required memory.

As i have had it installed before it is very frustrating.

Is there a way to bypass this and go straight for my J drive or should it instantly read the two as one and its a problem on my part??

Any help suggestions would be much appreciated, however try to remember i am almost computer retarded and may need things spelled out.


Thanks in advance.

Use Windows Explorer to access the files on the first Medieval 2: Total War disk. Go to the directory m2tw/disk1. There is a setup.exe file there. Double click on it. That file runs an older version of the installer that allows you to install to whatever drive you wish without running the check on the system drive.

I had the same issue as you, but when I ran that installer, I was able to install the game to a different drive. I have run the game and it works fine.

Worked a treat....cheers.
