    I downloaded the Beta, and extracted all files except for the Data. When I extract, my comp restarts.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    okay the installer is done, this is bigger (circa 275MB) - but it includes:

    -stuff to make it compliant with whatever vanilla you have installed (and probaby some mods) thats 1.0 , 1.2 , 1.3 , (1.4? - not sure if this is RTW or BI) and 1.5:

    - Blue Lotus Open Beta
    - Blue Lotus Patch
    - Blue Lotus Music Pack

    So if someone could volouteer to test this installer on an unmodded RTW (any version wiil do, then please pm me and ill tell you how to get it!

    You think there will be any problems created with those with the new Alexander add on? Not that I mind... I'm willing to uninstall everything but vanilla to play this. :\

    hi im having a shitload of trouble with WinAce, trying to extract data folder in the 1.0 beta download, however it keeps bloody locking up. i give up after 25min of waiting each time
    other .rar files work fine, but this one just keeps locking up, its pissed me off to tears, i seriously cried over the 4 hours lost to trying to make this stupid program unpack the beta-data folder.
    can you please tell me where i can get a winzip file or someshit to make the pain go away?

    Hey everybody, new here, so sorry if i sounds naive, but ive followed the instructions(i think) and correct me if im wrong, please, but arent you supposed to delete all the other files that RTW had in vanilla? And then replace them with the BL files? If ive done it correct up to here, I have a slight problem, when i try to run the game, instead of a CTD i get an error that says "Failed to initialise 3D audio!" i have installed the music if that has anything to do with it? Help is greatly appreciated.

    No, don't delete anything. Try again without deleting and see if there is still a problem. Hopefully not.

    Is 1.3 necessary ? For some reason I get a strange error message whenever I try to run the setup for it, it says delete your temp folder (which i've done) check your internet connection (it's working) and close all programs (which I have also done) i've never received this error message before, it's very strange.

    Is there any way of bypassing 1.3 ? I've been following this mod's progress for over a year
    and this is a real bummer for me.

    Im not sure if this will help but for 1.3 i always had to repair instead of modify.. maybe that will help..

    Hello people,
    I'm new here. :)
    I really like this mod. The unit models are very nice and I like the feel of playing total war with an oriental feel. Thank you modders.
    I downloaded the beta and installed it accordingly after 1.3 and 1.5 patch.
    patch up data with the Blue lotus, music addons, patch to latest fix.
    I get a CTD whenever I play the Akagi clan and Zhuanshi kingdom after 2 to 3 turns. Sometimes after the first turn, CTD! Especially when AI rebels turn, it CTD. Anyone can help? I can never play the game for more than 5 mins and then CTD. It is getting frustrating I must say having to restart over again and then when I make another different move, I get a CTD again.
    Did I miss anything in the install??
    Appreciate if anyone can help. thanks advance.
    Oh, I'm not complaining, I know it's a beta and the modders who did this are really great people. It's the best Mod for RTW besides RTR 6 gold.
    I would just like to try out this beta.

    I've had an identical error: game loads to 80% and then stops. I deinstalled Nero, but that didn't work. Any idea what is causing this?

    I have Nero installed and I can load my BL w/o problem. I think it's not with Nero.
    However in the beginning, I did have BL load at 80%+ and nothing happened.
    Later I realised that it was the music that BL was looking for.
    I suggest do not install the music addons and use the default and see if it load alright. Hope this help. :)
    After I got the BL to load and run, I then added the whole folder "music" into the sound folder and renamed the music.dat,
    done! new music added.
    best

    sadly my beta game still CTD on me every 4 to 5 turns and I have to restart and make a different approach. :(

    Hi, thanks for the reminder, but I'm actually aware of the warning on BL beta.
    yes they did say Ai crashes on turns.
    I thought I didn't installed it properly therefore post here to ask. I did patch to 1.2, then 1.3 and finally 1.5. Took the time to re-install a clean version 1.0, this time only patch 1.3 then 1.5. well the results are the same. Try playing the Khan, on the first turn it crashes.
    No complaints, I'll be waiting for the final release. Thanks though.
