Better on CD by a long way, there are many issues that relate to the Steam installation.Originally Posted by lionhard

Medieval 2 gold edition has just arrived, so ill install the game tonight! Looking forward to it now actualy.

Can you not install it entirely separately from Steam? You want no interaction with Steam whatsoever, it messes with things it doesn't have to. Disable/shutdown Steam before you install, and make sure you do not install it in Program Files. The shorter the path - eg d:\M2TW\mods\EBII\ - the better.
Also make sure you upgrade Kingdoms to v1.05 before installing and running EB2.01 (following the instructions on getting a working game). Then finally you can install 2.04j (just overwrite the 2.01 files).

Ok cheers! So much messing around lol!
Iv just deleted steam and tried installing fresh off the disc, for some reason steam seems to come up as soon as i put the disc in, the options involving the disc have steam all over it! its only allowing me to install the game through steam ..... WTF? i cant get away from steam i deleted it and its trying to reinstall it
Edit: As i said i bought the game the other day and it seems like creative assembly have gave the running of the game solely to steam now, you can play online through steam bla bla, when i start the CD steam just operates everything.... So what is EB2 going to do when its finished and people are buying this game and its all been operated by steam which is causing EB2 issues to run?

It works with steam, just not as good as without. The main issue(as far as I know*) remains the Path length. I'm running it with Steam and my problems are minimal, when you're installing Steam I'd advise to install it with a short Path(eg: d:\S).
Yeah steam is quite clingy with it's games, It sees a game that's on steam it tries to devour it :/
