I can confirm what Grimmy is saying here. I have just returned to EB myself after a long lay off. initially I was suffering from lots of crashes and the solution was to move the M2TW to a path less stressful for the CPU. My path is currently D:/M2TW/mods/ebii. When the game had to go through the steam path I was getting quite a few CTDs, its much more stable now. And yes the game is great now. The only non bug issue I had was the Embezzler trait when your money goes over 100000. I had to nerf the penalties as it got a bit too much having 4 family members per turn causing city rebellions when I had worked so hard to get them to good character.
