    Default How to run with Steam/battle crash fix

    Repost from IB2 Vandalorum

    Hello all,

    Since I, like many Steam users came close to a nervous breakdown trying to get this wonderful mod (and others) to work, I thought I would post the easy fix I found. I initially installed the mod using the kingdoms workaround by renaming the IB2 folder to "americas" or "crusades" then launching it from Steam, but I kept having a crash to desktop every battle. This is an easy fix that worked for me:

    1) Run the installer, install into the normal mod folder --> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods

    2) Open the IB2 folder ---> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\IB2_Britanniae

    3) Right click on Executable.exe.bat then select Edit.

    4) The file will open in notepad and should display the following:
    cd ..\..
    start kingdoms.exe @mods\IB2_Britanniae\configuration.cfg

    5) Change Kingdoms.exe to medieval2.exe so that it looks like this:
    cd ..\..
    start medieval2.exe @mods\IB2_Britanniae\configuration.cfg

    6) Save and exit

    7) Double click Execuatable.exe.bat to launch the game

    8) Enjoy

    This happened to work for me. No battle crashes, no missing menus/maps/unit cards etc.

    This doesn't change anything. The game still freezes whenever I load a campaign or battle. I can't do anything.
