RTW Gold Edition

[Alexander IV Aegus]

I recently bought the gold edition as my previous disc, plain old RTW, had a little mishap
Anyway I wanted to know if EB is compatible with the gold edition, i.e., RTW and Barbarian Invasion.
Thanks

Yes, it is. Just install EB on top of the unpatched Gold Edition and everything will be fine (hopefully). You don't need to patch it, because Gold edition is already RTW 1.5 and BI 1.6.

Hopefully? I'm positively swelling with confidence.
Thanks for the quick reply

It happens that any saved games you have from RTW will not load on Gold Edition resulting in a CTD. People I know have had to begin a new campaign.

Cheers.

Well, no worries there. I had wanted to download EB with my original RTW but didn't get the chance. As long as EB now works on gold I'll happily start a new campaign. Btw, if I have Vista should I encounter any problems? I just got gold today and I had previously installed RTW on XP.

P.S. What does CTD mean?

[Quirinus Kuhlmann]

CTD means Crash to Desktop.
I think there are problems with vista, if your RTW folder is installed inside the program files folder, so you should direct or move it to somewhere else. But I'm not really shure, because I don't have vista.
