EB crash at startup.

The problem is simply this... I install Europa Barbarorum, have the icon on my desktop, I click it, It goes to the europa barbarorum screen (very well made by the way, this mod is aw ork of art) then a window posts up saying "file doesnt existÉÓ" or something, and then closes.

Im currently going to do a fresh installation of rome total war, then install the 1.2 patch to see if this problem persists.

If it does persist, I'm going to need help :rtwno:

Help me obiwan kenobarbarorum , youre my only hope =(

I get the same problem, tell me if fresh install helps.

There have been some CTDs on startup that have been caused by a bad install, a fresh install should help.

Also, please test your vanilla 1.2 installation by loading it and playing a campaign and battle, prior to installing EB. Many of these errors at startup have not been EB related and so you should see them before even installing EB.

This will also help us determine if there is an actual bug at startup with EB, which we have not seen internally.

I had a hell of a time trying to install EB...it kept CTDing at the first start screen...

I realized that a file in the 1.2 version was corrupted (BARB.something kept showing up saying it couldn't be copied when I was preparing for the Beta last night)

Then I unistalled, and had the problem of not being able to install 1.2 as it was already installed...

Finally, I got a zip file of 1.2 and that worked, but now I have messed up my entire 1.5/1.6 BI install :embarassedg:...

This happened to me to.

I installed RTW and then patched it up to 1.2, installed EB correctly and then your startscreen of a map comes up for a second before this window comes up saying that some code is wrong. Weird...

Well i reinstalled the 1.2 patch and then reinstalled EB and now i have a new error message.

Script Error in data/descr_sm_settlements.txt, at line 304, column 1.

Expected culture type, found nomad.

I went into the descr_sm_settlements.txt and chaged the word 'nomad' to 'eastern' and it runs fine now.

Lemme find the link I used...

EDIT: Here it is:

http://www.mizus.com/Files/k0rgs8gVt...hes/RTW1.2.zip

Get a fresh install of 1.0 and replace the files with these.

The link leads me to mizus.com and nothing more. I can't find the download on the site. :questiong:

I didnt need a fresh install to fix the error, just instlled 1.2 on the already EBified folder then reinstalled EB.

just soemthign that might help:

if you ahd RTR (or something) before this. then uninstall completly. and delete teh remainders in de activision folder!, then instal, patch, and EB-it..

Well thats a given.

I can imagine some poor sap trying to install eb over another mod tho, heh heh.

Ok, problem fixed, sorry to have wasted everyones time.

Just uninstall rome total war, and reisntall it then install the patch then install Europa barbarorum.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I got carried away playing battle editor on Europa Barbarorum... understandably.

Gah you're right :questiong:.

This is where I got the link from:

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=43962

Perhaps it works there (worked for me)

Well, I'm an idiot. Apparently, my Rome Vanilla install somehow became patched to 1.3! I just make copies of it every time I install a new mod, but I must have patched it to 1.3...This is going to be a major problem I see.

On the contrary you dont need to uninstalle then reinstalled (the time consuming nussance that it is) you simply need to reapply the patch then reinstall eb!

Apparently it worked. I can now play EB. Can't play vanilla, but I can play EB. It's pretty sweet so far.

Be aware that you're running on a bad install, and errors may occur eventually. You didn't remove all traces of 1.3/4/5/6 before installing.

I dont have 1.3/4/5/6

Just to save time on probably CTD regarding bad files. I just downloaded the mod from filefront and it contains 135 MB. Is this correct ?

It was probably an incomplete download. I dunno the exact size but it's way bigger than that I'm pretty sure.

Well, the file size of the release installer was around 140MB, due to some Vercingetorix magic. I don't know the exact size because I never downloaded it, I only put it together (sans installer). Perhaps one of the people who have had no issues can tell you the exact size, or one of the download mirrors would have that info.

Good heavens! How'd he do that?!

I think he sacrificed a bull and bathed in its blood.

If your download was corrupted, the installer won't run, so don't worry about that. It uses CRC hashes to ensure data integrity (a cookie to anyone who understood that without wikiing it).

Efficient compression algorithms. ~D

Well it works and have testing the Romani campaign. After 3 turns I quit in disgust. Ehehe.. Get kicked badly by the rebels in VH/VH battle.

Will test again this weekend after new year hangover finish. Great mod. Very great. So base on 3 turns can't report any bugs yet. None encountered.

Never mind my previous post I figured it out i didn't extract files to RTW dirctory :laugh4: But i have a new problum :furious3: I click on the desktop item i go into the one screen after beeing there for a while it goes black and a error message that reads

Script Error in data/descr_event_images.txt,at line 623,column 1.

unknown event string faction_defeated_by_player

It was it worked, on my third re-installation hmm...

i had the exact same problem as EPA i think it was with Line 623 colom 1 or some shit, i keep getting it, i reinstalled like 4 times now and its still not working correctly, i got it to run fine once but then i tried to play as KH n everything went white from then on ive been getting that error and cant get rid of it, reinstalling isnt helping, any ideas?

i'm also getting this error on startup

Script Error in data/descr_event_images.txt,at line 623,column 1.

unknown event string faction_defeated_by_player

im gonna try reloading 1.2 and EB

uninstalled and reinstalled 7 times. still getting same error

Have a look at my post https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...57&postcount=1

reinstalling didn't work for me either but that is exactly the same error I was getting

I'm having the same problem. After loading the game it closes and gives the same error message as posted above. Earlier someone mentioned a similar problem in which they changed the script and fixed the problem; do we need to do something similar to this and if so what?

I can't attach files so try this link

http://domino.automation.rockwell.co...256E4C005C5471

you may be asked to sign in before you can view it, just register with some name its only for website admin purposes.

detach the two files MSICUU.EXE and MSIZAP.EXE to your PC then run msicuu

good luck

thanks for the link, i picked it up. this TW/EB error has led to me finding so many neat little utilities for my computer. out of all bad comes good and vice versa. i finally fixed the problem (i wont even get into how many times i uninstalled/reinstalled/downloaded/etc.) by using registry mechanic from download.com which works like msicuu.exe. then i installed a fresh RTW, then Patch 1.1, yes, i had to do 1.1 THEN 1.2. ran RTW made sure it worked, then installed EB. it finally ran.

so much work has gone into EB and it is something else. thank you to all the EB team members. i've done some modding myself and i know it must have been a bitch. great work :2thumbsup:

I have a problem in the same way, I think:

I have the Gold Edition of RTW, who install RTW plus BI without letting the choice...so everithing is at patch 1.5 , cause of the addon.

I create a copy of the repertory.
Install EB.
Crash.

Okay, now I manually wipe out BI, reinstall EB.
The game start ! Yes !!! Oh...no...the loading screen is the only thing I can have, the game doesn't load at all ( I've waited 25 minutes... )

I assume the core of the problem is that I have the Gold Edition, who's not a "virgin" RTW ?

Anyone can help ?

Yeah, Mithra, you must devolute your rtw 1.5 to rtw 1.2 :)
Must download the 1.2 patch in zip format, that is somewhere here around :)
Then can run rtw with EB.
That all you need.
I dont remember the link, but I am sure you can find it in some post here around, i d/l it myself some time ago.
Bye

I've already done this...don't solve the problem :/

Perhaps I have to suppress BI in my copy ?
But I don't know how to do this.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, my english is bad.

So I train to re-explain.

The Gold Version automatically install RTW and BI, there's no choice at all at the installation.
So it's also 1.5 patched.
I don't know how to go back to 1.2, because even with a zip file EB doesn't work, getting a " file doesn't exist " message now.
