You have to delete the cache folder.

I could really use help, my game was working fine until i installed a certain 'Broken Crescent' mod, even with that the mod and game was working fine until last night when for first time i experience a sudden crash to desktop when i was playing mod. It happened again today when i was playing original game. Is it because i have unlock all factions enabled ? Please help

[Gigantus]

Unlocking all factions will have no negative effect. and the mod crashing should not effect your main game. It may have changed some settings - that can be fixed rather easy by deleting (or renaming) the medieval2.preferences file in the root of the game. Restarting the game will generate a new file with the default settings.

Here's one for the running. Just got started with a setup on linux, and the largest 'wat' I'm experiencing so far is the divide between all saved data and the game directory. Any clean way to keep them in the same place? I have no concern for security on this and I'd just like it to be clean; game data and saves in one directory, not game data in steam and saves deep in the Feral VFS directory. I noticed this in particular trying to find my crusades campaign save.
