So I finally decided to try out some mods for RTW and settled on Europa Barbarorum as it's promoted amount of historical details appeal to me greatly.

However, whenever I try to install the mod, it's always displays a error 123: "The file name, volume name or volume label syntax error" when it gets to the map scripts parts. I just can't get past this part no matter what I try. I used the 1.1 and 1.2 and now 1.3 and it all still failed.

I can confirm that I do have RTW patched to 1.5 and I tried installing it both with and without Barbarian Invasion and both times, the same error comes up. My computer is a Windows 10 laptop (specifically a Lenovo Legion Y520). Please can anyone help me enjoy this great mod?

Thanks in advance.

Hello adventurer8612, welcome to EB and to the .Org ~:wave: .

It appears that there are some problems with installing EB/R:TW on Windows 8/10 computers, although not everyone encounters them. Have you tried following the advice in these threads?
