Problems with the Steam Update - TATW with MOS won't start.

[Conlord]

Hello, I recently did a reinstall of my medieval two on steam (Completely wiped the folder and re installed with no preexisting files), however in the latest update they seem to have removed the Launcher.exe as a standard, as such that work around for TATW does not work for me. Running it with MOS, I understand it runs through a launcher, but even when I try and use the launcher it simply comes up with an error message saying "Kingdoms.exe" cannot be found. I am not too apt with resolving these problems so I wanted to ask if anyone knows how I can fix this and get the mod working.

1) Download and install Notepad++, a free text editing program needed for editing TATW+MOS files.

2) Update your M2TW if you haven't.

3) Install TATW 3.0 both parts + 3.2 Patch, Destination Folder is the location of your main Medieval II Total War folder, that means that it HAS TO HAVE this at the end: ..\Medieval II Total War

4) Do not rename Third_Age_3 folder, leave it as it is. Follow these steps to get TATW working ( post #162): http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...date-for/page9

Be sure to make changes/edits with Notepad++ ( right mouse click on file and use Edit with Notepad++ ).

5) Test can you start TATW and a campaign. If you can, I would make a backup of whole Third_Age_3 folder somewhere, just in case you need to reinstall or for another submod.

6) Install MOS 1.6.2+bugfixes. You can use my instructions for 1.6.2 ( unfortunately, they are not for bugfixes as well ): http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post12777403 ( post # 3 )

Edit TATW.cfg file again as instructed in post # 162 ( change the "kingdoms.exe" line with medieval2.exe ) Be sure to use Notepad++ !

Good luck!
