thanks !

Patch 5.1.4 is still the newest version. Did you Uninstall "The great war mod" and "Campaigns" files in the "data" If not try it and that do EXACTLY as he does in the video (except launching the mod before installing the 5.1.4 patch) than in the launcher do not launch but use "Alternate launch" (or something like that) and click on Install mod it schould say that the mod is installed and you click on "done" and THAN launch it.

[@lieutenantsupascoop2126]

People that are saying “when I launch the game , it says It can’t find path to the file” it’s because you pulled the launcher out of the file. It happened with me. You need to leave the launcher in the file with the Great War and data ect and use the launcher there. Bit of a pain finding the file to play it but it solved the issue for me.

[@m.m6990]
