I purchased medieval total war (the first 1), it installs fine, the tutorial plays fine, but when trying to play the game, 1 of 2 things happen, either the game shuts down or the screen flickers on the menu, having done research, loads of people seem to be having the same problem, apparently the company is well aware of the problem but have done nothing to proactively fix it, they seem to have basically abandoned all the gamers who purchased the game, that's very bad business practice in my opinion, the only "fix" that I found didn't make any difference.
