Re: Sishui Pass (Fortified Pass) siege battle CTD
You might be having a problem with folder path length:
C:\Users\domin\Desktop\New folder\Medieval 2 Total War\Medieval II Total War
That's already 77 characters to just go to the root of M2TW, now go to one of the attachment files (they are the trouble makers) and you end up with this (151 chars):
C:\Users\domin\Desktop\New folder\Medieval 2 Total War\Medieval II Total War\mods\rotk\data\unit_models\attachmentsets\final asian_mongols_norm.texture
It's a problem we came across in EBII and that's why went to the trouble of changing the default 'attachmentsets' folder to 'att' and kept the file names as short as possible.
This doesn't appear to be steam so test this by simply creating a c:\games folder and move the root of your M2TW installation (Medieval II Total War) there and rename it M2TW.
Should then look like this: C:\games\m2tw\mods\rotk - which brings the length to get to that texture down to 88, just over half.
Now start rotk via the bat file (your desktop shortcut will need correction).
If that solves the problem then reversing the above, uninstalling M2TW and re-installing is advised. You might run into this problem with other mods as well if left unchanged.
You can move the rotk folder somewhere else before uninstalling - that way you only have to fix the shortcut after re-installing and moving it back.
