Game crashes after the 1st turn or sometimes after the 2nd turn.

[mordheim]

Win 10, 64 bit, Steam version with Kingdoms. Reinstalled the game, scrubbed the folder, reinstalled again, same issue each time. Farthest I've gotten was turn 5 once. Usually just crashes after the first turn. I'm baffled. No one else seems to have this issue. The installation instructions aren't that complicated. I'm hoping I missed something silly someplace.

Despite the log being huge, there's nothing innocuous in it. It seems to think there's something going on with your lighting files, before the crash:

You're not doing yourself any favours with this long path: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War

I'd suggest moving your M2TW installation within Steam to a much shorter one, for example D:\M2TW

[madmatg]

I'm wondering if this is still possible? On the tutorial to move the game to a new directory it says there should be a button that says "move this game" but my steam install doesn't have that button? Any idea what to do?

[Kull]

Gigantus has a tutorial describing how to move Steam installations

[madmatg]

I did follow those instructions but moving it just means it's on a different drive with the same tree "steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War" It doesn't get any smaller than that through steam?

[Kull]

I don't use Steam myself, but googled a number of variations on "steam folders" and got a rat's nest of unhelpful results. Hopefully somebody else here has had experience with this.
