That is funny.
After 50 turns the family tree appeared again! EEverything is normal and the sicilian couple disappeared as it should.
Very strange bug!

Give all the rep you possibly can to EXAS for figuring out the solution, which was really obvious, since I hadn't palyed m2tw I even forgot the aprt of thsi workaorund, chaning the command line you put in the steam settings /facepalm, seriously even if it kills you, give tons of rep to MEXAS, so here it is, my original fix with Mexas' amazing work that somehow I didn't realsie I had to do:

Try...

In the m2tw folder you should see 3 exes. "m2.exe", "kingdoms.exe" and "launcher.exe"
Create a folder called "backup" and place the "launcher.exe" in that
Rename the "kingdoms.exe" to "launcher.exe"
Now go to your "Steam Games" list and right click kingdoms, select "properties" and then "set launch options"
In the box that appears paste the bit you copied(in SS 6.3 case it will be @mods\SS6.3\default.cfg)
As long as you always launch from kingdoms in steam and not the SS 6.3 shortcut it should work.

To play vanilla kingdoms again take away the launch line and rename "launcher.exe" back to "kingdoms.exe" and put the "launcher.exe" back in the main folder.

+rep to norsca for original fix.

+2x more rep gain to MEXAS for being so amazingly awesome =P

EDIT: News just in, apparently you don't get the full 6.3 experience by bypassing the ss6.3 exe, but untill I get it installed and tinekr with it the above will ahve to be a temporary workaround.
EDIT 2: Gord says because the cfg file references the BAI swapper, its fine, but need someone who knows this stuff to confirm

Kind Regards
Will

Most probably because you have no Kingdoms expansion installed.

Thank you for this but there is a new issue with the steam version. Kingdoms is in the same folder as vanilla now and there is no kingdoms.exe. Infact as far as I can tell there is only one .exe and it is for vanilla and Britannia and Crusades and Teutonic and Americas and any other mods installed. every time I try to launch SS it does not find the kingdoms.exe and quits. I could really use some help here as I'm not even sure I have SS set up correctly in the mod folder.

Hello,

Yesterday I downloaded Stainless Steel 6.3 for the first time. I am a huge fan of Medival Total War 2 but this mod was against all my expectations! After playing 5min I was suprised by so many things!
I really want to thank the designers of the mod for giving me a hell of a time!!! Thanks!!!

**chals** · September 01, 2014, 02:52 PM

So I am trying to install this once more.. I failed horrible a few years ago.. and now I am giving it another go. I have done this
Followed the youtube guide!

Downloaded 6.3 and then added on 6.4 ontop on that.

Tried to start it up, failed.

Tried to use this tiny guide of 101 pages. But I cant do it..

I got kingdoms installed (can play em)
In my ss6.4 folder there is only this -
DATA
save_early
Saves
uninstall
defult
readmeUAC
ss_launcher(.exe)
ss_setup

nothing else.. and tried a few things - like addidn the launcher to the steam startup as well as starting the game with the lucher on the destup and/or in the file, both failed. "is kingdoms.exe in your MWT2 folder ? "

plz advise

**chals** · September 01, 2014, 03:03 PM

PS got steam

**Melooo182** · September 01, 2014, 03:18 PM

Since i don't see you mention to have disabled UAC anywhere

start by reading that readmeUAC.txt and follow the links in there
