Instead of unpacking files, why not grab a preset vanilla mod folder at TWCenter to use as base for your modding which is the work around for newer windows and the right way to mod anyways so you dont break your game.

?????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!


To Hazzards. Verify game files (right click Med 2 in steam -> proerties -> loal files -> check bla-bla). This file should be located under main folder of the game.
like ...SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\msvcp71.dll

yeah HazardHawk,what the F* was all that about!?!?
and if verifying still does not work just get a download of it and manually plop it into your game folder

the msvcp71.dll is the file that is accessed when trying to unpack the pack files. It is also the file that allows the the game to see into the pack files to load them but that does not give that error if that process fails as it leads to a not responding error.

Also, if you try verifying files under any windows since XP, due to recent security updates, it does absolutely nothing even if it finds files needed because it doesnt have permission to actually write them to the hard drive anymore.

To verify files in Steam now for Medieval 2, Steam must be running as administrator to verify them, then quit and started normally to actually play.

it is a microsoft visual studio C++ runtime library that would be used by lots of different apps,it probably has fonts or some such sh.ite in it that the game uses,don't know,never had cause to look
there are lots of reasons why he may not be getting it,but i'm not going into all that

[Halgarius]

wait so I'm confused, ive verified the game files and nothing happened still get this when trying to get the relations and reputations patch.

There is a copy of the file in the root folder, simply copy it into the unpacker directory. For more stuff about unpacking check here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=550619
If you want to do some modding then make use of this set up as well: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=352216

what is it that this guy is saying that makes you guys think he is trying to unpack the files?
is it this "relations and reputations patch" that i have no idea what he is talking about

[Gigantus]

This driver file is only used for unpacking. And it's the standard error message from the unpacker tool, see my link.

i meant him,not you HH
i have a little trouble trying to understand what you are saying to sometimes HH
for starters,i use a nice clean Win7 OP,and suffer NONE of the problems you talk about sometimes
also i don't make mods for this game as i like to still PLAY it,which is something i pretty much never end up wanting to do much after i learn how to make mods for them
so other than a few notepad edits that really bugged me,i know,and want to know little of making mods for TW

[HazardHawk]

Some things you just simply know what people are trying to do by the error they get. lol

I am honestly glad you have not been plagued by errors. You want the truth? That tells me a great deal of how you use your computer and that you head off errors before you get them by the way you use your computer.

For medieval 2, it is only about 15% of vanilla players that have issues right now and 99% of those are on Windows Home Edition. When you get into installing mods, that number jumps to roughly 60% have problems but drops to 90% of them on Home Edition Windows.
