Third Age w/ Reforged?

[Peng]

Hey all, just submodded Reforged into my Third Age Total War (which I launch via Americas) and when I went to multiplayer battles to try it out, the two other people on Third Age Reforged were still marked with "incompatible". They could have other mods enabled that I did not know about, but just in case they didn't, does this happen to anyone else?

You're not launching the game the same way they are.
MP mods require:
- same OS (often a hiccup)
- same version of M2 (very rarely a problem)
- same method of acquiring M2 (never a problem as they just won't show up in the server list)
- same mod (not too much of a biggie)
- same method of launching it. If you use a custom shortcut, they must too. If they use Americas to launch, you must too. If they use Teutonic, etc etc etc.

I didn't know that part, thanks!

Also make sure you have the latest patch as well. I believe there's already 2 patches for the mod.

Do it this way : In your medieval 2 folder make a copy of medieval 2 exe and rename it to kingdoms. Then go into your reforged folder and double click the third age reforged batch file. It should launch up the third age reforged and you should be able to play with other people. You do not have to rename any folder.

If you still have problems check the 'error solving' section in this guide:

You seem knowledgeable on this game, do you have an idea what could be causing me problems hosting online custom battles?(i can host lan but not online it keeps saying kingdoms.exe not responding.)

[Inardesco]

If it's not responding it has stopped working and thus there's a crash.

[Gigantus]

Yup, not RESPONDING is the precursor for a crash.

If memory serves there are some custom battle maps in TATW that are prone to crashes - for details check their TWC forum. Something about culture and settlement level settings I think.

Any of you guys looking for an extra player in your custom battles?

TA Reforged doesn't have a TWC thread as far as I know. I've done a quick search with no avail.

Then you will check where ever you got the download from. It's a sub mod for TATW so I am not sure if they have their own custom battle components or if they simply recycle TATW's components in a different set up.
