Crashing on startup Thread - The Italian Wars mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

Can anyone please help me when i downloaded the 5.0 beta i started it up and it just crashed i tried deleting map.rwm but it still crashed

When exactly does it crash? If you are preparing the campaign button or even at the splash screen?

no no no it does not crashes at campaign button it crashes when i see the italian wars picture

I see you mean the splash screen

Well, as I recall you have installed version 5.0, haven't you?

None of the previous ones?

Do you use steam?

Which directory did you install the mod?

I did not install the previus ones and i installed it in d:/medieval 2 total war/mods

And no i do not use steam

So have you deleted all previous versions before you have installed 5.0?

No i did not even download any previus versions

Sorry must have missed it!

Did you also install the language patch?

yup i installed the language patch

And which path did you use?

Well i installed the language patch in d:/medieval 2 total war/mods/the italian wars

Sorry for asking you all these questions, since these are the most common problems

All right, please send me the log file, which can be found inside your medieval total war installation in a folder named log. Be sure you have tried to start the game before sending me the file! Otherwise it might be the log from another mod.

i think this is the one if not well i don't know becouse it says system.log now to the log:13: 42:44.647 [system.rpt] [always] CPU: SSE2

i this is not the one well then i don't have any more log files

any fixes?

Edited by: TEK0033

All right, that looks like something is complete wrong with your installation...
Please delete the complete italian_wars folder and install it once more

ok i hope it works

in case not let me know!

still crashing

any ideas?

Okay, then follow these steps here please: Twcenter.net

not working the first and third solution does not work the second one i can't perform because it does not appear in the virtual store

Edited by: TEK0033

Hmm.. your virtual store is completely empty?

Well apart from some paradox interactive games its empty

I see..
This is really a hard nut to crack

Well, what version of MTW II Kingdoms do you have?

Did you already try to install version 4.1?
Maybe this one works for you?

BTW, did you really installed the mod in this path: mods/the italian wars
Since it should be named that way /mods/italian_wars

Edited by: Neadal

I think i installed the mod in the rigth place and if you mean 4.1 the mod version i tried it not working and i made the kingdoms.exe from the medieval2.exe so i think i don't have the good version

Oh and the folder its mods/italian_wars

Would you mind to upload me the complete log.txt file, for example here: File-upload.net
I really need to have a look at the complete file

Hm... you mean you don't actually have installed MED II Kingdoms?
I mean you don't have the DLC campaigns like Britannia or Crusades, have you?

no i don't have the dlc's and i start the mod now it doesn't give any log files just when i start the normal game so yeah i don't know why so i don't know
