Battle Replays: Can't find Dumplog

Hello Folks!

Just as the title says, I've been attempting to save my battles so that I can narrate over them and create a more cinematic viewing experience on my youtube channel. Threads like this one - https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...battle+replays
indicate that this is possible.

I've created the .exe shortcuts named "record" and "replay". I've changed the title's in properties to "destination" ER and "destination" mEP. I've opened up a game and played a battle under the "record" shortcut...but there's no "dumplog" subfolder in my STW folder... There's a "logfile" subfolder which is all text. There is a "savegame" subfolder which is empty. My Medieval Total War folder has a "dumplog"....so what gives?

I've tried this with custom battles and campaign battles. I've searched the forum to see if anyone else had had this problem and nothing. That's not a good sign because that indicates that this may be a rather niche issue relating to just my game files. So this is a desperation post, just throwing this out here just in case someone has an answer or has had a similar experience.
