Re: Does not even start the game!
Ideally only applications should be in that directory. Games, media, all those kinds of things should be well away, if possible on another drive altogether. That way when you regularly format the O/S drive (formatting will of course require the reinstallation of all your apps anyway), you don't have to find somewhere to store/backup your stuff.

Flickering? Add -nm to the shortcut. It's all in the two links Foot provided.
Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

Re: Does not even start the game!
I don't agree with that. When you format your O/S drive you have to reinstall your games anyway so what point is there in putting them on another drive? You can just copy over the save game folders and save a load of space on your backup drive.
Also my game doesn't even start either. Fresh install of everything, nothing happens when I run, not even in the task manager. A waste of my time and life I will never recover.
Re: Does not even start the game!
The point is I don't need to muck about much with my O/S and apps drive, whereas I'll be chopping and changing media and games all the time. Leaves me a nice, simple, unfragmented O/S drive that's rarely touched, and one for games and such that I can play around with all I like.

Re: Does not even start the game!
when EB doesnt start like this its usually because its installed in wrong directory. If you have RTW Gold it installs to a diffenrent directory than what EB defaults to, IIRC

Re: Does not even start the game!
I have RTW gold, but I simply install it to C:\Rome, and EB straight on top of that. Never had any problems and I've installed it dozens of times on various systems, both Vista and XP.
Re: Does not even start the game!
Okay, I did say sorry for my language and I wasn't blaming it on the mods here or the game but my computer.
Also, when you usually say sorry about something I don't expect snobbish edits or replys from it. It's language. Get over it.
Anyway, Back to the annoying thing ever.
I know how to use a computer thank you very much. However, If this is a mod. It should go on top of the file I have already made with RTW, and work. So why doesn't it?
I am going intsall the patch you have suggested in post 11. (forgotten your name sorry)
then i am going to test it again.
Oh, and do I have to uninstall EB again, then re-install it so the patches take effect?
Becuase they are all in, the RTW files...and also in the directory, does the EB and RTW have to be in different slots? If so, that's gone wrong...
Regards

EDIT: Patch does not work. It goes 'file not found error:404'
