Haha, no problem, good you found it and please post here how it looks

So after the clean install nothing change, the problem still exist. So it run perfectly on vanilla but on kingdoms i get infinite loading screens and the campaign map is totally unplayable but instead of that when i create a custom battle it run normally..don't understand really :/

Did you download latest version GEMv3.1.5?

[|Thracian|]

Yes i try all version and all work on vanilla but not kingdoms.

I'm runing this on W7 64bit with Directx 11 and the game is installed into program files (x86).

Here both directories without GEM installed



Also i notice that when i try to launch Kingdoms from the .exe, i get the medieval logo screen intro and then i got a ctd with this >



I actually don't remember if this issue is normal or not ? So to lauch kingdoms i have to use the launcher.exe and choose the appropriate mod. So i suspect that maybe the trouble with GEM come from somewhere there. The strange thing is that this ctd happend before my clean install too.

I dont see you installed GEM in your M2:TW folder. Get Kingdoms running first without GEM. If it does the only thing you have to do is choose one folder (like GEMv3_1_5_Evolution) and copy all its content to your Medieval II Total War folder. Then run the ENBInjector.exe and start Kingdoms just as you did before. There should be no problem.
Make sure you downloaded GEMv3.1.5

Note: if you dont own SS6.3 just dont copy the mods folder from GEMv3_1_5_Evolution into yourMedieval II Total War folder.

For all the TATW fans I recommend to use the GEMv2_1realistic which was included in the latest release:



Please note in the current release you cant make propper screens but I know whats the issue and will fix it with the next release.

Vanilla is patched to 1.3 and kingdoms was to 1.5 when i tried. I notice that on the DBM thread mod they say that kingdoms doesnt need to be patched to 1.5. Now i uninstall kingdoms and reinstall it unpatched to see if i can launch it directly from the .exe without getting a ctd.

please PM me if you keep having troubes I will be willing to help but posts explode here due to an issue that might not be related to GEM

If you notice on my quotes you'll see that i said already that GEM wasn't installed. It just to show you the directories clean to see eventually if something is missing or wrong.

I did all the step u describe but it doesnt work still infinite loading and lag issue.

When u start kingdoms from your "kingdoms.exe" do you get also the black screen with that popup as i get or the game lauch normally ?

Also for DBM mod you launch it from the .bat file right ?

I am a STEAM-User. The launcher is started and I made DBM to Britannia Kingdoms mod. I had little lags too in campaign map but after changes in GEM3.1.5 and all its Settings the lag was gone and the loading time increased to vanilla.
You might need to patch your game first.

Thats all my files in the main folder:

Dont mind the few *.jpg and cine-ed files.
Few of the files are dead.

Hey what are all those d3d9 dll files that u have ? I don't have those :/

Steam gives me when I install. I will check on my version but please PM me.

Is the ENB version for M2TW able to do SSAO, DOF, and other more advanced graphical options like the newer versions of the Skyrim version? If not, is it possible for the Skyrim ENB versions to work with TW or are there some issues?

As far as I tried no .dll file for later games works for M2:TW

If you installed it right its very bright. Dont forget to turn off antialiasing and run the ENBinjector.exe

And btw yes, after testings the GEM 2.1 realistic version look better than any other version in my opinion.

It is all a question of taste, thats why those are options. DBM has pretty low texture quality so GEM 3.1.5 helps to forget that a little.

[|Thracian|]

Indeed but i think 2.1 look more "well-rounded" and the fonts still look like pleasant to read. in the 3.1.5 there is too much blur in it so after many hours of campaign play it can be kinda tiring for the eyes.
