Saving your 'Vanilla' Files It is very important to copy all of your files in the game. I make copies of every ETW files on an external hard drive. If you have a desktop, you will probably have more than enough room to save a copy on desktop as well. <br>
Many Mods do provide a means to uninstall. Unfortunately, they don't always remove all of the files. By keeping a copy you can use it as a means to delete anything that was left in files. If you experience CTDs it is most likely because you still have Mod files left in your folder. <br>
If after reinstalling the game, you are still experiencing CTDs, then you should contact Sega Support immediately. They generally take at least three days to respond, so don't expect them to contact you right away.
Step 1:Download the installer
NOTE: The installer should do two things: Create a folder called 'IS" in the main data folder AND create a folder in the campaign folder called "imperial_splendour"
Step 2: Download and Install the PATCH (Patch 1.0)
Step 3: British Tech Tree Bug Fix Patch (Patch 2.0)
If you do not want to use the IS launcher...

You need to move the files from the IS folder to the main Data Folder
Copy and paste the files. You do not need to delete the folder. The game will run normally regardless.
In addition, you need to move the user.empire_script.
Code:
E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\data\ISToC:\document and setting\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts
user.empire.scripts file should look like this
