Why on the Late Campaign of Stainless Steel 6.4 Constantinople and Thessalonica are not part of the "Crusader States" faction ? The Latin Empire of Constantinople was a crusader state , and they weren't Greek Rebels.

Yes, they were "Crusader states", but they weren't the same political entity.
The king of Jerusalem was not the Emperor of the Latin Empire.
I would welcome you to the forum, but it seems that you were already here for years and just kept quiet

Re: Constantinople Late Campaign
I modded the game to make the Latin Empire territories part of France. That produced a much more interesting campaign! Playing as the Byzantines, the Latin Empire is now actually a serious threat.
I borrowed the idea from the original Medieval: Total War (2002), in which the Crusader states were part of France.

While you are at it, would it not be more appropriate to give the Latin Empire to the Crusader states?

Did you remove fow to see how france managed in western europe? I gave most of germany to sicily in my game to play as austria, but they neglected their italian lands. It might be because they moved their capital to innsbruk. Did france move their capital?

I seem to remember France was fine, I don't think they suffered any adverse effects. They didn't get destroyed by Germany or England.
I may have tweaked their King's purse slightly to allow them a bit more income, if I remember rightly. It wasn't a huge change, but I realised that the Latin Empire stacks would be quite expensive for them. So I made those armies slightly smaller to reduce the cost a bit, then added kings purse income so that on balance, the new provinces would neither add nor subtract from France's income.
Re: Constantinople Late Campaign
Was that a thing? It's been so long since I played MTW1 that I barely remember any of it.I borrowed the idea from the original Medieval: Total War (2002), in which the Crusader states were part of France.
Side question: Is it possible to get MTW1 running on Windows 8 or 10?
