NOTE -
Tt seems that the dungeon faction somehow apparently keeps taking longer and longer to do its turn (eventhough its completely inactive), and in later turns (for example 70th turn) it may reach 10 mins :/ So I have to find the root and fix this.
If in your current campaign you are facing this issue, you can use console command "kill_faction papal_states", that will destroy the dungeon faction, to be able to finish your campaign, while I hopefully find a solution to this. Once I find it, you will have to start a new game for the changes to take effects anyways
Install instructions:
1. Download and install The Elder Scrolls 2.0 (Full Version) + The Elder Scrolls 2.0.1.
Of course, you need to apply 4GB patch or LAA patch as well. LINK
2. Go into your The_Elder_Scrolls/data and delete the whole "world" folder"!
3. Download and install TES Unofficial Patch 2.0 (this "TOOL INCLUDED" download, not the other one), and extract it into your Medieval II Total War/mods folder, so that it merges with your previously installed TES 2.0.1 (you will know that you are doing it correctly if it asks you to overwrite, hit yes). Your TES folder must be called "The_Elder_Scrolls"
4. You must use "TES UP" launcher to play the mod, other launchers will not work. Once the launcher opens, disable "full loging" , then "apply changes" and choose "Start Mod". Rather double check whether yuor setting is the same as in the picture below in case you have issues.
Dont change anything in the launcher unless you know what you are doing!
5. Install the hotfix (see the instructions in the hotfix thread)
6. You are ready to play!
This version is packed with new features so I highly recommend for you check the release article - moddb LINK, TWC LINK
In case the launcher settings change for some reason, I show below the setting you ought to have (left upper doesnt matter, left bottom matters significantly, and the one the right side should also matter)
![setting]()
If you crash upon launching the game, you probably failed to follow install instructions so try again. (4GP patch is a must)
If you crash upon loading saves, try running a quick/custom battle first.
If you have low FPS, try to turn off shadows, decrease unit size, or decrease your graphics in general and give high priority to Medieval II in Task Manager. If you have lags/lows FPS, you can try this TOOL.
If you have steam overlay enabled, it should help with performance greatly, if you disable it.
I didnt have time to figure out how to fix voices, they are incorrectly assigned to some factions. However, you can fix it yourself by deleting "events.idx" and "events.dat" in The_Elder_Scrolls/sounds, but unfortunately it makes other sounds not work (like the ones in menu or when you hit end turn), while the music still works fine. So up to you if you want to do this trade before I provide a proper working fix to this.
As its packed with new content, its also naturally expectable that there will be lot of bugs and and stuff to fix. Thus, a hotfix fixing various issues and adding the content that I havent managed to finish in time will be up pretty soon. In case there is some serious issue, it will be up asap.
In case you encounter any bugs please report it, so we can fix it for the hotfix. Also, if you have crashes, you can send the crashing save or or log.txt file from The_Elder_Scrolls/logs
Apologies, it appears that loading saves from Black Drake and The Three Banners War cause a crash, trying to figure out why and fix it.
EDIT
Another big issue, it seems that the dungeon faction somehow apparently keeps taking longer and longer to do its turn (eventhough its completely inactive), and in later turns (for example 70th turn) it may reach 10 mins :/ So I have to find the root and fix this.

Good luck
Install guide! Youtu.be
It crashes right after I press 'start mod'. "Medieval 2 encountered an unspecified error and will now exit."
Same I have tried multiple times to install it.
I really dont know...the issue must be on your end. .. If you have all the base things you are supposed to have - Med Kingdom, 4Gb patch and TES 2.0.1 and then you followed instructions to the letter , it must work ;/
So no full screen ?
You can enable it, up to you
very cool mod, but pleeeease give back vanila models of imperial units, this skyrim style is very specific
Well, you can recruit all units, separate recruit trees in castles and barracks, so you just need to upgrade your barracks :)
the style of cyrodil kingdom units is very awesome, but in my opinion more suitable for Cyrodil Empire
Yes, but I meant, arent there still some of the old style units availible later in recruitment trees? :)
I have checked it out, and there is only this old style units in mod
I9.pixs.ru
Your work is awesome, but i think skyrim stile, not suitable to the cyrodil, but on the other hand it will be better to give "cyrodil kingdom style" to the Tamriel Empire
2020 was a terrible year but this mod's release made the wait all worth it.
Yea, spent most of 2020 working on this, so Im glad I managed to somewhat finish it before its end :D
But I need to release a patch to fix the all the arising issues
I keep getting an error that says "The code execution cannot proceed because XINPUT1_3.dll was not found." whenever I try to run the TES UP launcher
Try redownload and reinstall... as you are apparently missing a file :)
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
I just reinstalled everything -- Medieval2, Kingdoms, TES 2.0, the 2.0.1 patch, the 4GB patch, UP2.0, and followed the instructions like someone disarming a bomb. And still had the exact same "code execution cannot proceed" error
Yay, have you checked with the install video guide to see if you do it correctly?
Yes, several times. I'm pretty flummoxed.
Well, im going to reupload with all he fixes today/tomorrow, so hopefully that sorts it for you
