Minor installation question

**QuintusSertorius** · 07-19-2008, 15:33

I've got RTW patched up to 1.5 in the proper manner, but I've also got BI installed (White Label edition, which is at 1.6) to play another mod.

Question here is, to play EB under 1.5 as usual, am I safe enough installing it as is, or would I be much safer uninstalling BI and RTW and starting clean? Will installing BI have put any 1.6 stuff into my 1.5 install?

This is curious, I just ran RTW, and it says it's version 1.3. Did installing BI remove the 1.5 patch?

AFAIK 1.6 only applies to the BI-exe, so if you want to play with RTW-exe, only the 1.5 changes should apply. I play on RTW-exe and have BI patched to 1.6 and I don't seem to have any problems.

Try installing a separate 1.5 patch for the rome.exe, i'm sure it will work
rtw patch 1.5

From what I've read, that's not necessary. The way it was explained to me is that installing BI patches the RTW-exe to 1.5, and the BI patch (1.6) doesn't affect RTW-exe at all.

not sure if i understood what you meant but
that patch is for rtw-exe not bi.exe

I've already installed it. That's the point of the last bit, I installed the 1.5 patch prior to installing BI, yet when I ran RTW, it said it was 1.3.

The rtw you're using.....is it original?

The discs I installed it from (three of them) are 1.0. I installed the 1.3 and 1.5 patches prior to installing BI (which is already at 1.6).

When I ran RTW just to check, it said it was "ver 1.3". I just ran the 1.5 patch again, which didn't bounce me as though it was already in place.

Could installing BI have removed the 1.5 patch?

I dont think installing BI would have removed the 1.5 patch, i've seen similar issues with pirates rtw.....i can pm you with the solution if you're using a pirate one
