ok so I downloaded the medieval 2 gold edition from steam which gave me both the orignal game and the expansion.
First i used steam to install medieval 2, then the kingdoms expansion. After that i installed the Third age part 1, part 2, hotfix, patch 1,1 and last 1,2.
So basicly I got 2 problems:
1: I followed the instructions on how to play TA when you use steam, but my Third Age folder is not in the steam mod folder so am not completly sure what to do.
2: Second i can't seem to even open the kingdoms game from steam, every time i get this error: Microsoft .NET Framework An unhandled exeption has occurred in your application..... Details:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.
and then i click continue and i get to the medieval 2 menu. I get no options to choose what campaign to play on( teutonic, crusades)
Please help, and thanks!
P.S. Sorry if there already is a similar problem that has been solved, if so please redirect me.
About third age! Did you chose custom instalation pass? Because it automatic try to install game in SEGA folder, but you have to choose Steam! I hope you undderstand what I mean!
But I am not realy sure if that is the problem!
i installed the game to this folder C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\medieval ii total war...But it wasnt in there after i sent it .did i do anything wrong ?
