Does not start up correctly when launched

[HorusCrowlix]

Downloaded and installed according to intructions. All downloaded and installed correctly. However, when I launch, it only loads up the original m2tw game and not the mod. Any ideas?

Could be in the wrong directory. Right click the desktop shortcut and choose 'properties'. Then copy the entry from the 'Target' section here.

There are two short cuts, which one are you using?

If you use the steam version, you could try to open steam before starting launching the mod.

[Gigantus]

The Steam App gets activated when you start a mod or the main game. In case you are offline it does start as well but does not connect to the net (not required in single player mode).

Every time I start the mod without having launched steam first, the vanilla Medieval 2 starts.

Which mod are you trying to start?

I just exited from steam and then started a mod directly from the desktop shortcut. First time I got a CA_LIBS error, maybe because Steam wasn't fully launched, the second time it logged onto steam and started.

I launched the mod via the 'Rise of three Kingdoms Steam' shortcut. Then steam and vanilla Medieval 2 started. After closing medieval 2 the mod worked fine via the same shortcut.

Glad to hear it worked.
