Graphics Too High?

[Mythical Ry]

I recently updated my drivers and now the game won't open. I get a message saying that there was a fatal graphics error because my graphic settings are too high. Anyone know how to fix this?

Find your medieval2.preferece and lower graphics there. That should get you back ingame, then simply change graphics in the options.

[Mythical Ry]

I looked and I can't find that file, doesn't come up when I search it or in steam. Not sure what to do

[Mythical Ry]

Alright never mind I dug around and found it, but I'm clueless on how to use that file to lower the graphics

[Inardesco]

You simply change the things that are on high/highers to low

[Inardesco]

Just find this section;

[video]
anisotropic_level = 16
anti_alias_mode = off
antialiasing = 8
assassination_movies = 1
autodetect = 0
battle_resolution = 1920 1080
bloom = 1
building_detail = high
campaign_resolution = 1920 1080
depth_shadows = 2
depth_shadows_resolution = 3
effect_quality = highest
event_movies = 1
gamma = 128
grass_distance = 75
ground_buffers_per_node = 4
ground_cover_buffers_per_node = 4
infiltration_movies = 1
model_buffers_per_node = 4
no_background_fmv = 1
reflection = 1
sabotage_movies = 1
shader = 2
show_banners = 1
show_package_litter = 1
skip_mip_levels = 0
splashes = 1
sprite_buffers_per_node = 4
stencil_shadows = 1
subtitles = 0
terrain_quality = custom
texture_filtering = 2
unit_detail = highest
vegetation = 1
vegetation_quality = high
vsync = 1
water_buffers_per_node = 4
widescreen = 1

And simply lower whatever is on high.

Simply reducing battle and campaign resolution to 1024 768 should do the trick.

[Inardesco]

It'd depend on his native resolution?

Have you tried running the game on compatibility and admin rights?

[Mythical Ry]

How do I set it to that? Sorry I'm really tech stupid
