    I believe you may have installed EB incorrectly.

    I downloaded directly from steam. If that doesn't work, you should need a re-install of EB.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Did you leave the game in the default folder where steam puts it (somewhere in "program files/steam/..."? Or did you copy it out into a separate folder outside "program files" (as EB team suggests)? I did the latter. Maybe that's my problem.

    Well, you have to put it in the default folder, otherwise steam doesn't recognize the game at all. Put it back, and try to play.

    Will try later. It was my understanding that EB has difficulties running from "C:\program files\.." directories. So, I just copied the whole RTW directory from the steam folder to "C:\EB12\" and tried running the mod through a modified shortcut. Obviously it did not work (was working on my old machine; with the regular CD install though).

    It should be fine. I have a bunch of mods for a bunch of games, all of which are recommended to be installed out of program files, working fine with steam.

    Not a fanboy in the slightest, but it isn't as bad as you all make it out to be.

    I have to thank you :)
    I did what you said (installed the mod in the designated steam directory rather than 'outside' as suggested by the EB installer) and everything works like a charm now :) on the 'highest' graphics settings, mind you...

    The only itch I have is a flickering radar mini-screen (in battles). Maybe crossfire has something to do with this. after all: this is not a new game.

    You're welcome :D

    I don't know about the mini-map. I do remember at least a few threads about it, so you should do some searching around. Probably something conflicting or another.
