Reporting Issues:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
When reporting issues, please remember, informantion is everything!
Just saying, "it crashes" really doesn't help much in tracking down where the problem lies.
So the more details you provide, the better.
What options did you change?
What campaign where you playing?
At what point exactly did it crash?
And any other details that you can provide will help us fix it quicker.
Common Issue: How to set user permissions on a game folder:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Note: The following examples were done with empire total war but it is done the same way for other TW games.
Also in the example below, 'hip63' is the user name, and 'BEAST' is the computer's name. These names will, of course, be different on your PC.
And if, at anytime, windows asks for permission to do the following steps, tell it allow the changes.
Step 1:
To begin, browse to \Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\ then find the empire total war folder and right click it. Now click "Properties" and then the "Security" tab.
You should see something like this:
If you already see your user name (the name you log onto your computer with) listed here, you can skip to Step 3
If not procced with Step 2
Step 2:
Click the "Edit" button. You should see something like this:
Now click the "Add" button. You should see something like this:
In the area labeled "Enter the object names to select" enter your user name (the name you log onto your computer with) like so:
Then click the "Check Names" button and you should see something like this:
Now click the "OK" button and you should see something like this:
Step 3:
Now we need to edit your permissions to the folder to give your user name full control of the empire total war folder. Make sure that option is checked for your user name.
You should see something like this:
Now click the "Apply" button and the "OK" button.
You should see something like this:
Click the "OK" button.
A REBOOT OF YOUR COMPUTER IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AT THIS POINT!
Try reintalling and playing the mod with these changes.
If you are still having issue, please take at look at this tutorial for further troubleshooting steps for permission related issues:

While it focuses on Medieval 2, it is applicable to all TW games.
A Special Note for Game Booster Users by karaislam:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
i found the fix for gamebooster with this mod.
u must not tick steam.exe.normally i tick that one too but with this mod i cant.its not a big deal.even i close to enter empire steam again working.just u must not tick steam.exe before make shut down the unnecassary programs with gamebooster.
Legal Disclaimer:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Lastly, EOD will NOT work well with 'illict' copies of the game. Please don't tell me it's a "boxed copy". All legal copies of ETW come with steam, period. No exceptions! The retail discs sold in stores come with steam too. (I know because that's how I purchased ETW) So again, don't tell me that you have a "boxed" copy that came without steam, that's utter nonsense!
