CTDs

Quick question, when using the mod through Steam, the patch, goes into the Steam folder or into the Sega folder in Program Files?

Think that's explained in the OP's install instructions?

Well I have Med II and Kingdoms, on Steam, and the mods I have (Bello mundi, Westeros total war) are dumped in the Steam folder, so I put Third Age there as well, which worked initially, but now I´m having CTD´s due to "unespecified error" which led me to see that I had not patched the game to 3.2, that´s the issue I have, I will go ahead and direct the patches to the Steam/Steam App/Common..../mods/Third Age and see what happens.

It is, but I think it´s not very clear, first it does says to put in Programs/SEGA etc, but then in the Steam options, it says "do all of the above" and then go to SteamApps/ Common etc and do the renaming stuff. That got me confused, perhaps I´m a bit dull regarding mods, but I think the instructions are kinda blurry in that aspect.

Not having M2 as a Steam game I've never looked into those installation instructions so you may be right.
I read this however

2. Open "Steam/Steamapps/Common/Medieval II Total War/mods". There you
will find all your installed Kingdoms campaigns as well as the
"Third_Age_3" modfolder.

as it's supposed to be the Steam folder

However, if I misunderstand, if you do not have M2 trough steam, it should be your Program Files/Sega/...

In campaign battles, which is weird because I have been playing the mod for 3 days now and until now I have ctd´s, I tried erasing the map. rmw it didnt work....

When do the CTD's occur?

Test this; back up and delete the two descr_geography_new-files in Third_Age_3/data

No joy, still doesn´t work, five minutes into the battle...then CTD.

I patched up to 3.1 (haven´t been able to download 3.2 properly), the splash screen comes up all right, and then it closes after like 5 seconds, and back to desktop

EDIT: I have deleted all string files as well, still nothing.
