Do any of you have mods installed?

[Agueybana__II]

I'm having the same problem and the thing is that I used to be able to play this game normally. What I did recently was install The Last Kingdom and Stainless Steel but then I uninstalled the mods and the game and reinstalled it. I also verified the game content and one file failed to validate but I'm still getting this error. I'm not sure what to do.

I found a solution that worked for me and it might work for you guys. Right click on Medieval II on Steam and click on properties and head over to local files and click on browse local files. Right click on the "medieval2.exe" and click on properties. Now, click on compatiblility and check the box that says "Run in 640 x 480" and click "apply" and close the window. Now, run the game and head over to options and make your own resolution options. After you're done with that, quit the game and head over to "medieval2.exe" and click on properties and uncheck the "Run in 640 x 480" box and click apply.

I searched the web for hours and all that would run it, was using compatibility mode in shortcut properties. Yet that only played game in left hand corner window mode. So I read about lowering settings in the CFG file in steam/steamapps/common/Medievil II Total War. That did not help either, BUT raising them to 1920 1080 did!. Open the CFG file with notepad and look for campaign_resolution and change it to 1920 1080 and save. Clicked my exe and viola!. I was borderline ready to ask steam for a refund until I figured it out. Hope this helps guys, because I feel you pain.

Edit:This must also be done for battle_resolution. So to recap right click Steam and choose open file location. Once there go to steamapps/common/Medievil Total War II and look for a file medieval2.preference and open this with notepad. Look down the line until you see battle_resolution and change that to 1920 1080 or whatever your screen resolution is set at on your screen. Then under that look for campaign_resolution change that as well. My game has run flawlessly since (3hrs tested). Good Luck

LeedleMcgee, I think he is talking about the Medieval2.preference file.

[Корнет Дуткин]

at startup you have to press ALT+TAB

[B r u h]

cant find that file lol

[Nukecell]

you may have to start the game 1st in low graphics in compatibility mode. after the game has started, it will creat the file you need to edit. read all of my post on this and you can find out how

Mind doesn't create a new file when I try to run the game.

[Inardesco]

You need the medieval.preference file.

Open it in notepad

Change settings to what you want

Save changes

Open game.

that file doesn't exist for me.
