A few questions:
The .exe on my desktop would not open EBII properly, so I deleted it and launched the game from Steam instead. Everything seemed to work fine, but then I found out I could not see the season because I did not launch using a shortcut. I found the .bat and used that, and can now see the seasons. First, did I mess up the in-game script by launching from steam similar to playing EB1 without activating the script, or am I okay to play as normal? Should I restart? Also, is the .bat file a correct way to launch the game, or should I really use the launcher with the icon?
My framerate grinds to a near-halt when fighting a siege battle in a barbarian settlement. If I am zoomed out, it runs okay, but when I try to zoom in on the gate area, I get maybe 1-2 FPS. However, in any other battle I don't run into this issue. Is this a know problem?
