Maybe your download jsut got corrupted, try downloading it again.
I will take the guess that you started the game with the Steam version shortcut? That's what you get when you try to start a non-Steam version with the Steak version shortcut, at least I got that too when I experimented.
Hey guys, I didn't know, if I'm in the right thread (and will already say sorry for my bad English ), but I have a big problem with Installing. Everytime I start the installation I get this error Message below starting with the file "loading_screen_5.tga". The options I can choose mean cancel, repeat or ignor. If I repeat it, I will get this message every time again, but it needs about three or four minutes until it comes again. If I ignor this message, it goes on wir "loading_screen_6.tga", but same problem here, if I have clicked ignore, I have to wait about three or four minutes until I get the same error message for this file. I reapeated it about seven times, but even if the "loading_screen" files ended I got the same message for the next file.
I run the installation as an administrator and I already tried to install in to another folder, that I could copy it to the Medieval folder, but same problem also there.
I hope someone of you can help me, waited the hole seven years for this day, but now I'm frustrated, that I can't play this probably brilliant modification.
Ok, first of all, I am grateful for everything you guys have done ! You made me (and I'm guessing many others) really, REALLY happy.
Now, I used to have the shared.txt launch crash, that fixed I still have the strat.txt everywhere on the descriptions of everything (towns, units, traits, unit stats)* and I re-installed the mod and copied both the text fix and the launch fix to their designated folders but this strat.txt everywhere hasn't been resolved by that.. So, can someone post a how to fix this for dummies ? Maybe I did something wrong..
*-I played for a while in spite of this problem but can't stand it anymore (not knowing the units' stats and eveything)
Wait alin, small question.
If i download the launcher fix from the main post, and overwrite my own CFG file, i have to put it on Read Only? Because the year is showing and working after i did that, but every time i launch EB2 it goes back to the previous graphics (which bring my performance quite down). If i take out the Read Only wont it go back to the year not showing? Or the cfg file in its own fixed that?
Thanks!

Getting a fair amount of ctd's at random moments.
In my log file I see a lot these happening:
17:12:48.363 [system.io] [warning] open: G:/Medieval II Total War/mods/EBII/data/terrain/aerial_map/sea/waves.tga.dds is missing
That is just one example there are a lot of missing file warnings in there. Is that a problem with my installation or with the mod? And are these causing CTD's ?
The only solution would be to try this:

I know it's not easy to do but we're puzzled until now with this issue.
No, it doesn't needs to be read only after using that launcher fix.
If it still overwrites the contents then it's something w/ m2tw.
Sorry, me again wit the off topic, but I took off the Read Only in EBII.cfg but the graphics go back to your default always. I manually changed the settings of EBII.cfg with notepad and it worked, but it seems still no changes i make in game stays longer than 1 session. Be it increasing audio, graphics, etc. Just a headsup. Have no idea why though. My M2TW in game options work as usual.

I tried the command prompt solution but it didn't help, still strat.txt everywhere.. Has that solution worked for other people ? Is there anything else I could try ?
strange,after 3 times i manage too get the game working,i have windows 7 64 bits,first i clicked the Europa Barbarorum II (for disc installs),i took me at the loading screen it stayed their for a minute and then it crashed too desktop,the second time i click on the same link but as administrator,i was saying something strange like posted before and crashed,then third time i did the same as administrator and the mod loaded good and now i can play the game,lucky me thanks for this great peace of artwork!
edit;i just say it the wrong way;1 double click the the Europa Barbarorum II (for disc installs),get loading sreen and then 1 minute later game ctd too desktop,the second time i click on the same link(Europa Barbarorum II (for disc installs) but as administrator,but a black windows comes and say it can not find the mtw executable,and ask too continue too click on any button,after i do this a message comes and say like this;error unable to execut shell command.
then i double click again the the Europa Barbarorum II (for disc installs) but not as administrator and then the games works for me.

I'm having an issue where immediately upon launch, the game encounters an "unspecified error" and crashes right back to desktop.
I don't see any log files, I'm using Windows 7, 64 bit, and the retail version. My path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\EBII
Should I just reinstall?

During battles I am continuously CTD'ing when I do anything. All it says is there was an unspecified error. The campaign map seems to be working just fine and everything else is ok but battles are a no go for me. I can't figure out how to post attachments so I don't have my log file but the end of the ing thing says this:

I am assuming this is a bad install?
