Re: Troubling starting EB
Welcome to the forum!
Be sure to read the EB-FAQ and the (unofficial) tips for new players!
Concerning your problem:
If you are launching EB with a shortcut (EB-Play) please edit the target line:
Quote:
My EB shortcut doesn't work!
Sorry about that. A product of lacking experience with creating installers, I made a mistake when creating the shortcuts that start EB 1.2.
Modify the shortcut target. Move the end quote from the end of the line to directly after RomeTW.exe and it should work (goes for both the new shortcuts in 1.2). For instance, instead of "C:\My games\RomeEB\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -show_err -ne" it should be "C:\My games\RomeEB\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -ne.
If that did not help, report back here!

Re: Troubling starting EB
I don't know what's EB-Play.
I just clicked inside the folder on "EB Single Player" to launch the game, and then nothing happend.
I did wen't to the FAQ but i found nothing usefull there.
Re: Troubling starting EB
With the premise that you installed EB right that should be an error inside Trivial Script.
Create a new shortcut to Rome-TW.exe and edit the target line by adding: -mod:eb -show_err -ne, use this to load up EB.

Re: Troubling starting EB
I fixed it! It was because I installed RTW on program files. So i created a new folder and put it there and it worked. But i tried updating it to 1.2 and in game it says 1.1 . Is it suppose to be like this or did I messed up something?
EDIT: Nevermind! I fixed it. xD
Re: Troubling starting EB
I just have the same problem, but I do have Windows XP, I've tried everything:
1.I checked that everything is installed on C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War
2.I updated correctly to 1.3 (after having a wrong patch) and to 1.5
3.I changed target directory of shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -ne instead of "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -show_err -ne"
I still just get the loading screen of the RTW with the red background and the Phalanx silouettes
What else can I do, what have I been missing?
Re: Troubling starting EB
Welcome to the forum!
It is complete normal that you get the RTW loading screen on your desktop after launching EB, only after it switches to fullscreen you should see the EB background.
If that is not your problem try to create a new shortcut to Rome-TW.exe and add
Quote:
-mod:eb -show_err -ne
to the end of the target line.
If this also fails your installation is wrong and you should read this guide and install new: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=80270
