Ok so i completed removed everything, deleted local content for SWEAW+FOC and deleted the folder manually as well to remove any remenants. I redownloaded the game along with the mod + the 2.1 Stability patch and installed everything again methodically. Entered the Launch option to play the game. Made sure my resolution was set right and didnt alter the settings except for this time disabling V-sync.
I started a GC the Stars Align and managed to play for about 2 hours with no incident, no crash, no problems. So in order to rule it out I decided to start another GC, The Art of war and started with the Empire of the hand, I started constructing and moving fleets about and went for my first target Pestine, As soon as my fleet arrived I had a crash and got the error message to check the log file and except file. I didnt use cheat engine to speed things up this time i just played as i normally would and this still occured, i didnt even have a single battle before this happened.

I havent altered anything about the .exe's, the only box they have checked on the compatability tab is "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". I can set the SWEaW.exe to run as administrator but due to the unique way steam launchs the FoC expansion if i set this checked on the compatability tab the expansion will fail to launch and force closes itself.
Honestly dont know what else to try here as well I'm good with hardware, not so good with software
Edit: As of today 23/10 I was managing to play, some what frustratingly as i did before by saving after every "critical" move and some no critical ones to progress, had about 7 crashes during this time but no big deal for me I always had a save or autosave I could go back too. I was enjoying it until it crashed on the start of a land battle defence and It corrupted not only my save but the autosave before the start of the battle. Resulting in all my progress being wiped, about 2 hours of gameplay. So for now, until I can resolve this I think im done for a short while.
Seems to be the GC the Art of War where I can progress, I hadnt gone up an Era or anything was just building up to it. Thats where I want to play though, thats where all the ships are available and thats the fun part lol and to be honest I dont want to start a different GC and have the resultt end up the same. If you need me to provide anything else let me know as I am really enjoying the mod.
