    Default First time user and CTD

    I just bought the Medieval 2 Collection through Steam and installed it. I then installed EB2 2.0.1 and then 2.0.3 and the graphical enhancement mod. When I tried to start a campaign the game crashed to desktop. I'm not sure where to find the crash log. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.

    Edit: The game also crashed when I was browsing through the factions on the grand campaign screen.

    Crash log is in [your M2TW directory]\logs\

    The crash on browsing factions is a known issue, same goes clicking around too much between Campaign and Custom Battle screens.

    For some reason there isn't anything in the logs folder.

    What does your EBII.cfg say at the top? It should as a minimum have:

    [log]
    to = logs/M2TW.system.log.txt
    level = * trace

    I don't have a Medieval Total War 2 folder at that location.
