Campaign won't load.

[Decius Carbo]

Ok, so upon reading some of the FAQs and other questions, most people's problems when they load a new campaign is the game crashing, or they get a CTD or whatever.

Well I just installed EB 1.1 and 1.2 on a clean version of RTW Gold 1.5. I've played this mod before about eight months ago on an older lap top, I bought a new desktop and put it on here and I start up the menu just fine.

I understand it's intensive on the RAM, but I have 4 gigs of ram. It takes roughly a minute or so for the main menu to load, but then I try and start a campaign. I pick Romani then hit start, the cursor freezes in place but the music continues to play. The music will play for a couple minutes then it stops, and the game just sits there with the campaign menu up. I realized it might take some time, but I went to sleep for three hours and woke up and it was still there. I uninstalled and re-installed everything and I still get the same problem.

I don't understand this, because I did a custom battle and the game loaded fine, so I'm quite confused and if anyone could help I'd very much appreciate it.

I've reinstalled three times. I even left 1.2 off there and tried with just 1.1, same problem, and it doesn't matter what faction I try to do this with.

Run a validation, and try to disable movies.

How do I do that?

Ok, I've downloaded and put all the 1.2 fixes and put them in my directory. I re-installed the game and EB outside of the program files folder into a separate one I made in the C drive. Still the same exact problem. I added the -nm to the end of my target line but I think I did that wrong cause the movie still plays. So if you could paste exactly how the target line should look, or at least where exactly I put the -nm I'd appreciate it. But I can't seem to get anything to work and it's driving me crazy. Oh and the validation I ran said validation complete, but the validation result notepad thing had absolutely nothing in it, so I don't know what to do.

Something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err -ne -nm -mod:EB

You probably installed EB under Program Files, didn't you?

Dol Guldur's post should work, just replace the path with wherever you installed RTW and EB.
