move what out of program files? the steam installation?
where do i move it too? my external hdd (where my mods & mtw2 installation is)?
how do i do that? do i have to uninstall and reinstall it there?
will this mess up any of the installation process i've done so far?
As per the instructions in the 2.2b thread, you need to move your M2TW installation out of Program Files. It probably won't work properly there, and you definitely won't be able to patch it while it's in there.
Doesn't matter where to, though the shorter the path the better; make a C:\M2TW\ as the root folder to move to.
my mtw2 installation is out of program files.
its located here: D:\SteamLibrary_External_HDD\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War which is on an external hdd.
my steam installation is here: C:\Program Files\Steam
do you mean in need to move the steam installation out of program files to elsewhere on my C: drive for it to work?
water texture is kinda weird on 2.3
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
graphics is everything on max. And got it on campaign but also on custom battles.
Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

Crash every time I try and load my only save, then tried to start a new campaign and crashing every time too.

Nope, I didn't do anything other than exit, start the game and try to load the save (faction is Romani). I did do a clean install of med II before installing 2.3. It was working (had to reload the save a couple times from battle crashes), then all of the sudden stopped. I also tried starting a campaign with another faction (Makedonia), also crashes.
Can you go into your config, under [log] and move the # from the line ending error to the line ending trace, then run the game to get a new log?
eb.system.log.rar
Here it is.

Ok did that and here it is.
That's still the small log; are you accidentally uploading the wrong file?
Could it be because I have to use task manager to actually close the game every time it crashes? Because the log file won't update it seems.
Edit: Nevermind about the task manager, closed it with the X and didn't have to use task manager. I'm not sure why the file isn't updating, I tried deleting it as well and a new one isn't being generated. It should be popping up in this path right; steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\ebii\logs

That looks like the usual place, yeah. Sometimes it just gets super weird, and I know this sounds very IT Crowd-y, but I've rebooted after having a lot of crashes and things like 'why aren't you writing this file?!' get resolved, because whatever ghost of a program was still holding on to that file and preventing it from writing are cleared out.
