Make a copy of your medieval2.exe and then rename the copy to kingdoms.exe

sorry if its a stupid question, but where do i locate the medieval2.exe folder, because i looked through steamapps/common/M2TW and i cannot find it
p.s. thank you for replying

It's not a folder - it's a file which should exist in your Medieval II Total War folder. You may not see the exe extension and instead it will be classified as application.

ok i found it and made a copy of it called kingdoms, but im still getting the error, what should i do now ?

If you still get the 'kingdoms.exe not found' then you have installed SS into the wrong folder. The path is ...\medieval ii total war\mods\stainless_steel (not sure about the exact folder name for stainless steel but that is not the issue)

Glad someone got it to work but I can asure you I have not.

this is my launch option same as the name of the file in my mod folder --features.mod=mods/SS6.3

It starts launching the mod says Stainless steel 6.4 in text across the Picture of a man with a White shield with a red cross and wielding a sword for all of 1-2 secs and then im back in the steam games list

Oh yeah maybe should mention that I have tryed every other way/workaround suggested of 5-10 hours of searching the web... All end up not working with different results. Also im running windows 7 atm so ive taken the steps suggested for that aswell even tho I found no indications of problems caused by it.

Think the process has caused me to grow a few new white hairs in excess of the ones that just turned gray during it all.. What a waste of a day.

I am having excatly the same problem with SS6.4. Please help.

SS6.3 loaded fine and showed menu. SS6.4 CTDs with no errors after few secs after showing SS6.4 loading screen.

EDIT. I have solved problem by reapplying 6.4 patch. There was a checkbox at the end of installation to set scripts and campaign.
