Steam Problems :/

[Jotun]

Hey guys, so I've been trying and trying to get EB on my computer because it's incredibly awesome. However, steam sucks. I have RTW: Gold downloaded from steam. I then installed eb 1.1 and eb 1.2 to a folder containing the RTW files(happens when folder is in program files or not.). When I try to start eb it says "Failed to find steam". Steam does not seem to recognize the game and i therefore cannot find a way to add it to my selection of games opened with steam. I don't understand what steam even has to do with this, but it's frustrating the hell out of me

I can still open vanilla, but that's useless to me. Please help.

EDIT: Im also using Vista 64 as my operating system.

Okay, right click Rome: Total War Gold
Click properties
Set launch options
Copy and paste this


-mod:eb -show_err

Thank you greatly

I even looked through that common problems thread, must have been brain dead while I did it.
Will be more thorough in my searching next time

Unfortunately this only worked on my computer that uses xp. the two that use vista still can't find steam. no clue why.

You have to start the game from steam, not from the folder.

it doesn't appear in the folder of games that are possible to add and when i browse files and go to the folder that contain the game I can only see the executable files for gold and BI
