playing issue

recently on downloading the latest patch for NTW (finally after 2h42min) I strangely cant play any longer, Id activate my 3 mods in the modmanager and it would bring up that little steam window that says "preparing to launch...Napoleon Total War" and i wait for a while and still nothing, i restarted, same damn thing happens. Is the new patch having issues cooperating with the mods?
mods are...
~Napoleon total factions
~Scarlet Dawn2
~Additional maps
PS to thos developers to those 3 mods, THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH, you guys are god sends

The smart money is on 'Yes' (based on past experiences).

Try removing the mods and see what happens.

The answer would be yes. Remove/backup your mods after a patch. I find it hard to believe that this would be news to anyone.

Never mind it, had to move the boot.pack file to the backup folder, oh yer money there meme_engine is lost lol
