Issues starting TATW

[Jonlion]

I have Kingdoms installed via disk many years ago and installed Vanilla TATW which has been working well before.

Whenever I hit the Icon i get the following message: Can not find script file C/program Files/ (x86) SEGA/Medieval 2 Total war /mods / third age 3 /G5BAISwitcher.vbs"

It then opens up into TATW loading page, fails and shows me that message again? Any ideas what has gone wrong and how to fix?

Been a while since I played but was reading AAR today and was inspired to have a crack at it with OOTMM as never played as them before but completed it as many of the other factions.

Help appreciated

This message usually appears when you have MOS installed, a submod for TATW.. There could be an issue with the Windows Updates which occurred between the last time you played TATW and now, or, the folder where you installed TATW +MOS is named differently than Third_Age_3.

This message usually gets fixed by opening your Third Age.BAT (batch) file with Notepad++ (a free text editor needed for MOS) and changing a line "Third_Age_3" with the "name_of_your_folder".

That means if your TATW+MOS is installed in a folder named TATW_MOS, then just put this name instead of Third_Age_3 line.

cd mods\TATW_MOS\
wscript G5BAISwitcher.vbs

Save and Exit.

If you do not have MOS installed, then you might be using an old shortcut to start TATW.. then go to your M2TW/mods/ Third_Age_3 folder, and start the game by double clicking on Third Age.BAT (batch) file.

Doesn't seem to like that and I have definetly not installed MOS. Oh well, is it probably best I reinstall it?

Many thanks
