EB v1.0 Released

[pezhetairoi]

Argh, this installation takes a long time. It's still only halfway through the copying of new files. XD

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Who needs Christmas anyway?

I'll save you some bandwidth and try to finish my current campaign and download 1.0 a few days later. If I can...

[hoom]

I just want to add the following: Congratulations EB team & all who have contributed over the many long years since the EB project was started
You've come a long looooong way from then

[JMRC]

Congratulations on the release.

Thanks! And thank you as well.

[Sakkura]

Aww man. I reinstalled RTW and now I can't seem to get it patched to 1.3.

[Hooahguy]

ITS HERE! ITS HERE! BRING IT ON!!!!!!

[Searry]

Time to shine up my R:TW discs.

[Radier]

Aww man. I reinstalled RTW and now I can't seem to get it patched to 1.3.

I have had these problems before. Ultimately, I had to install Rome on another computer, and there patch it up to 1.3 and then 1.5, and then copy it back to my computer again.

Anyone who got a smoother solution is welcome to help.

[NightStar]

IT'S MINE!!!!! MWUHAHAHAHAH

And EB team, congratulations!!!

[Emperor Burakuku]

Thank you guys and congratulations! Best mod in the history of PC gaming.

[Cataclysm]

Awesome EB 1.0 is here!!

Throw open the gates of Rome, and let the team bask in the glory of their Triumph!

Check the thread about preparing for torrent download. It should run quite fast if things are set up right.

It's OK, I only have dial-up, so I suppose it's expected to take 3 days.

[Hooahguy]

6% done for me..... on DSL

[Empedocles]

Thankfully I didn't have to resort to that. I found the solution in a thread in the general RTW forum: http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=84841

For some reason I had to rename the folder of the installer. So now I can go play EB1

How long is it taking to extract on average? I'm running a 2.8GHz with 1.5GB of RAM to cache and it's been like 10+ minutes still on 30%... I don't know if it's uber-compressed, bad algorithm, or if I broke it :)

edit:
OOOOOO THAT'S WHY! It is still uncompressing to standard C:\ directory. I thought after 0.81 you guys were going to fix this. Crap... now I have to someone manage to free up 2GB on a full partition with nothing but Windows and patches. I can say I love you guys but I really hate the installer :(

[Hooahguy]

40%.....

[Imperator]

Wow. Just wow. Think back to a few years ago: who could have ever guessed a product like EB could ever exist? I want to give a huge thank you to the team for making the BEST computer game I have ever played by far. You guys worked incredibly hard, surmounted near-impossible challenges, and often only to be greeted by a barrage of complaints over animation bugs, stat errors or even CTD's. Well now it's done. EB 1.0 is done, and already EB is many times the game RTW was.

I am soooo grateful to the whole EB team: thank you very much for this incredible game, and I look forward immensely to the next releases!

[Hooahguy]

63%.....

[jht]

Brilliant, thanks guys. I'm glad I woke up a bit early this morning.
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to torrents, to keep seeding do I simply need to keep the file on my PC after it downloads and keep utorrent open?

[Hooahguy]

92%!!!!!!!

[Hooahguy]

99% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hooahguy]

100%- done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EB v1.0 here i come!

[Lysander13]

Sweet!!...After a long rough day this is exactly what i needed. Congratulations to the team on realizing 1.0...it sounds amazing and in about...ohhh, let's call it 20 minutes i'll be finding out exactly how amazing.
Again, a big congrats to the EB team and a glorious day for us the fans of the team's hard work.

[Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom]

Wow I have followed this mod since before the first release! I think therefore, I have been waiting for this for almost two to three years??!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ]

Its gonna take me about 6 hours to download at 10:00 pm but i dont care im staying up all night!!

Thanks EB team i just dont know how to thank yall enough!

[skuzzy]

Despite good efforts I can't free up enough space on C: to install it. Could anyone be cool enough to compress the EB post-installed folder into a ZIP or RAR and stick it somewhere?

[fallen851]

I hate you guys.

You ruined my life.

Now I'm going to lock myself in this room and play EB till I conquer the world, or until I perish...

[pezhetairoi]

well, make sure you're well supplied before you lock yourself in, or you may starve and get demoralised...

[Kurulham]

I love you all.

I also hate you all because it'll be at least another twelve hours before I can even start the download...

Oh well. This weekend is going to ROCK.

[Arzeal]

Congratulations on the release!
I love you ALL for such a wonderful release, EB TEAM !!!
