I uninstalled the old version and installed the new version, and now I just get told that the game has encountered an "unspecified error" before crashing. Great.

(Crashes if you spend too much time on the Faction Select screen)

Ah, I missed M2:TW mods. They seem to all have that crash, it's lovely.

Haha, yeah that is annoying and pretty common. One of the big mods fixed it, but never caught on. Maybe it was Third Age?

 

[Whisky]

Third Age! Yeah, that one never crashed. Granted, it doesn't have like 30 factions like all the others.

If you're still having issues, be sure to get version 2.01, which came out only a few days ago. They released a full new download because of several issues. The torrent downloads fairly quickly.

Doesn't work at all. Just says it has an "unspecified error". Weak.

 

[Makabb]

guise GUISE 2.1 released a week ago.

 

[Agesilaus]

Wonder if it actually works now.

 

[FugueLah]

Last time I played it, the combat was awful, units couldn't maintain formation and cavalry charges were pathetic.

 

[Makabb]

Damn they are still doing this, 2.2c released yesterday

 

[Makabb]

cavalry charges were pathetic.

That's due to creative assembly, the only total war with decent cavalry charges is rome 1
