io_first doesn't work

[Gaius Flavius Constantius]

I type the io_first at the short cut game directary but it doesnt work, changes i made at EDU, EDB dont show up. Pls Advise .

Copy the entire line where you write the io_file, perhaps you did something wrong.
Did you launch the game via the shortcut ?

[Gigantus]

Are you using the medieval2.exe file or the kingdoms.exe file for your shortcut?

The proper spelling for the target entry should be: "C:\program files.....\medieval2.exe --io.file_first"

[Gaius Flavius Constantius]

This is my directory address "C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\Launcher.exe"--io.file_first

[Gigantus]

No surprise there: the "--io.file_first" thing only works with the medieval2.exe file

Replace Launcher.exe with medieval2.exe
I am not sure if the --io.file_first has to be within the quotation marks or behind as you have it.

You will now go straight into the game, no more launcher.

[DaLeGiOnArY]

It has to be out of the quotations, or else the properties won't let you update it since the target path does not exist.

[Gaius Flavius Constantius]

Where ever i input the --io.file_first either at the front or back or in the quotation it jus doesnt work should i put in all the way it jus prompt me cant find target .....

There needs to be a space between the " and - for it to work.

[Gaius Flavius Constantius]

How about the ending ?do i need a space between file_first and "izzit something like tis " --io.file_first "

Yes but without the last "

Regular exe -

"C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\medieval2.exe" --io.file_first

Kingdoms campaigns -

"C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\kingdoms.exe" --io.file_first --features.mod=mods/british_isles

A SPACE before each DASH MARK set.

Search for 'medieval2.exe' in the SEGA folders and adjust your path where necessary.
