Stainless steel runtime error etc.

[nbehnke4688]

I followed a recent set of instructions on how to install SS, I have windows 7 so I fixed daylight savings, UAC, made it compatable with windows 7 through xp and downloaded the fix for direct x 11. Not sure where to go from here. I play a battle all the way through with no problems, but then when I exit by clicking the green check mark and then the game crashes. Typically the error message reads that M2TW encountered an unspecified error and will exit, but this most recent time the error read runtime error, marked the folder medeivalII.exe , R6025 , pure virtual function call.

I know that I have had a lot of trouble with runtime errors after siege battles, but they said that the issue was fixed in the latest version. Does this error occur after every battle? Or just one type of battle in particular?

[nbehnke4688]

Most of the time the error message reads that M2TW encountered an unspecified error and will exit, the runtime error was just the most recent and was the most specific message yet. It happens mostly after siege battles but I have encountered the error in others as well.

Is the game patched to latest Steam version (1.5) before SS v6.3 and V6.4 installs?

Unless you've verified the game cache, you may not have latest patches on Steam downloaded.

If not, save your stainless steel download elsewhere, run 'verify system cache' and then reinstall the mod according to instructions (there is a guide in our Modding sub-forum).

Check that Steam is added as an exception to your AV/firewall to allow it run uninterrupted and ensure you have run a full driver update. A good program to use is IOBit Driver Booster 2 which is freeware that will check all system drivers for you without having to do individually and no junk download/spam either.

Good computer hygiene may help identify and solve the problem.

If you've used other mods like TATW that edit core game files, you can't fix by verifying, you will need a clean install; but this doesn't sound like your problem here.

It sounds as if the issue is an operating system one and not a game one. You might check out updates for Adobe Flash drive or equivalent display drivers, IOBit should do this for you with a one click evaluation of all drivers.

After many hours of trouble shooting and downloading fixes, I finally recieved an error message I understood lol. Among the many problems, my graphics card wasn't running properly because I had to return to an earlier version because of a problem caused by Rome II. The game is working perfectly now and I truly believe its the best game to come out of TW yet. Thank you for all of your help and for the forums etc.
