Which is to say: if they need a file with a long address (for example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold\Europa Barbarorum\data\models\unit_argranian_infantry_heavy_late"), they may crash. For EB2 (for M2:TW), there is fix called "Large address aware", which you find in this thread. A more straightforward solution would be to deinstall the game, and change the STEAM settings so it will reinstall base R:TW in a folder with a shorter path length ("C:\Steamapps").

I hope this helps.
So I need to uninstall both EB and RTW?
How can I change the STEAM settings so it will reinstall Vanilla in a folder with a shorter path lenght?
