    Default Troubleshooting M2TW on Windows 11

    Hi all - I'm looking for some help in getting M2TW to run on a Windows 11 laptop. I've read mixed results about running M2 on W11, and have tried every solution I've come across, so am posting here.

    On the base campaign it only crashes every 15-20 turns during the end turn, but with mods (Insularis Draco and DaC) it crashes every few turns.

    So far I've done the following: -
    - Applied 4GB patch/LAA.
    - Changed resolutions to fit screen in preferences.
    - Checked the logs (which only state 'unspecified error').
    - Fresh install of M2TW and mods.
    - Set kingdoms and medieval2.exe to run as administrator and in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
    - Installed M2TWEOP to avoid DirectX errors requiring manual installation (running in admin).

    My laptop is a Lenovo Yoga 9i with Intel Core i7-1360P CPU and Intel Iris Xe graphics. Running the steam version of M2. Would any of you be able to help me? Either way, thanks for bearing with the wall of text. If necessary I'm open to removing Windows 11 and installing Windows 10 (along with all my other programs.

    Not speaking from experience. It seems problems with M2 on Win11 are not uncommon. Perhaps check this approach?

    Just got this doozy on Steam: apparently starting mods directly form the BAT file doesn't work, needs desktop shortcuts.

    My trials with W11 did not produce that experience at all.

    Thanks, it sounded a bit weird to me - the only time you get this in general is if you set the bat file to 'admin controlled' in compatibility.
