[quadack]

Hi there, and welcome to TWC Forums

1) Do you have Steam M2TW or non Steam M2TW version? If it is Steam, is it updated to the latest version?

2) What Windows version do you have?

3) Have you downloaded and installed TATW 3.0 Part 1 and part 2, and TATW 3.2 Patch ( plus fixes)?

[quadack]

yes to all and I have the steam version with windows 7/8

ps sorry for delayed response I had to do work and stuff

1) Remove/delete your Third_Age_3 folder from your M2TW/ mods folder ( Third_Age_3 = or, the folder where your Third Age files are currently located).

2) Verify your Steam game cache, to make sure you are up to date. Take Ownership of your main Medieval II TW folder (go here, and apply Step 1. explained in pictures).

3) Run and install TATW 3.0 both parts + TATW 3.2 patch .exe Installers ( Destination folder for all three .exe Installers is your main Medieval II Total War folder, so, it is not Medieval II Total War/ mods nor anything else, destination folder MUST have Medieval II Total War at the end).

4) Rename one of your Kingdoms campaign folders ( americas to original_americas ) and, rename Third_Age_3 folder as americas. Go to your Steam, and run americas, in this case, Third Age 3.2 mod.

5) To avoid battle crashes, turn off/ disable daylight saving setting. Google for: how to turn off/disable daylight saving setting in Windows *insert your version here*

Google for: How to turn off/disable daylight saving setting in Windows *enter your version*. After doing that, restart your PC.
If that doesn't work, delete two descr_geography_new files in your M2TW/mods/ Third_Age_3/ data folder.
