Certain mods, like DarthMod, are not modfoldered and I still didn't figure it out how to make them work with this latest patch (they were made for the Vanilla version of the game)
These mod may not be compatible

Intro and Method 1
Here's how you play with mods with the latest version from steam (it works with any version)

  1. Go into your M2 folder and create a shortcut of your Medieval2.exe

    [/previewimg]


  2. Now right click your shortcut and add

    --features.mod=mods/MODNAME

    At the end of the target section AFTER the "

    [/previewimg]


  3. You can find your MODNAME inside the mods folder

    Let's take for example EBII

    [/previewimg]

    [/previewimg]

    Click on OK


  4. Double click on your newly created shortcut and enjoy

    [/previewimg]


  5. Repeat it with all the mods that you have, rename the shortcut if you like

    [/previewimg]
Method 2
Paste the command line in the set launch option

then launch Medieval 2 (do not select any expansion, just double click on it)
IT DOESN'T WORK!
If you installed the mod before the steam patch, then you need to reinstall the whole mod again.
Remember to backup your savegames.
Windows 8/8.1 users ONLY (maybe 10 too)
If you're using windows 8 you (may) need to set the compatibility mode to Windows 7

Note for installer based mods (like Third Age)
Some mods are packed with an installer, make sure that you're redirecting the installer to the correct location and not the mod folder

@RaisinOatmeal I would personally recommend using the --fetures.mod=mods/(name of mod) method from the steam launch management. BTW that's two dashes before features. Let me know if you have any issues, just send me a Friend Request and I will help you. I'm terrible at checking these posts so it may be awhile if you don't . Cheers and ENJOY!

I have windows and a 3600Ti NVidia MSI I use the --features.mod=mods/method when launching anything other than Third Age DAC. I go from the manage page in steam personally and never had an issue. Only once when ME2 didn't want to launch at all and a simple CPU restart fixed that. Oh and I currently have 8 different OVERHAUL mods installed for ME2

"Medieval II suffered a fatal error and will now exit" this window pops up when i did the second method and tried to launch the game.

I'm trying to do this but all it says is that it isn't valid and won't let me create the shortcut
