Help please - Having problems

Hi Guys,

I havent played this for over a year and re-installed my copy of rome which is the gold version so it automatically has the corret patch from cd for this. I downloaded EB.. and for the life of me I just cant get EB to load.

Now Im not a noobe at this I did it a lot when I played heavily in 2008 and obviously I am mixing something on my installation that is preventing me from doing this correctly. When I install the EB game I then load up the game using EB icon on my desk top and it just loads up Rome instead ..sigh.. what is it im doing wrong??

I have followed the online process where it explains how and it just wont work, I really wanna play again but I have installed like 12 times already lol and it still wont work ? please save me from my hell I NEEEEED to play EB WAAAHH I cant take it much longer!!!!

Thanks in advance!

Try adding "-mod:eb" to the target line of the EB icon (properties).

edit: without the " " of course.

And do not forget to install EB 1.1. first and than 1.2 over it. Installing EB 1.2 right over vanilla RTW wil not work.

Have a good luck!

Hi Guys,

Maybe if I explain then I can get some help with this, Ive installed Rome Gold so its already patched to 1.5 ok.. Now I have download both 1.1 and 1.2. I know I need to install 1.1 over my rome game before patching to 1.2. How to install 1.1 ? Maybe I am stupid I dunno but I dont know which folder to extract it to? Can you tell me please which folder I am supposed to extract 1.1 to? Once I have done that how do I install 1.2?

Many thanks in advance

In the folder where you have installed RTW. After installing 1.1 there, 1.2 should be installed in that same folder.

Take a look at the important informations thread. There is a thread there about how to install EB, it's for EB 1.0 but the crucial steps stay the same.

Should I install them to this C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War? This has the executable for rome and barbarian invasion?? Ive tried this a million times and it just doesnt work for 1.1.

I have Rome Gold does that make a difference? The game is patched to 1.5 im going insane some clarification or a miracle?
