Idiot List

[Sylon]

1) Install EBII 2.01
2) Without installing anything else, run EBII 2.01. Loading might take some time on the first startup, but will be smoother after that.
3) Begin a campaign in EBII 2.01. You do not need to play it, just start it up.
4) Quit EBII 2.01.
5) Install EBII 2.04x, where x is the current patch version.
6) Enjoy!

Note that upon installing a new patch, the game will load slowly the first time you start a new campaign. This is due to the game generating a new map.rwm file. If the hourglass icon keeps spinning, it means the map.rwm is still generating- It has not crashed.

Once the map.rwm is generated, any subsequent campaigns and loaded games will start up a lot faster.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Enjoy your campaign!
