    Default Crash

    I've installed this mod properly and tried reinstalling several times but to no avail.
    It just does not want me to play the campaign, the battles work fine though. It always crashes to desktop when I click begin campaign.
    I installed this on a seperate file patched to 1.5 without expansions and updated the mod to 1.2. I don't know what makes it do this please help!

    Your first sentence is contradictory to the rest of what you're saying. Please run a validation (post the results here) and verify that you have installed RTW and EB outside of Program Files.

    Contradictorary to what I was saying?
    I have installed a clean fresh version of Rome Total War using patches 1.3 and 1.5 to update it instead of installing Barbarian Invasion, made a copy of the file to My Documents and installed the mod and it's update correctly to that folder.

    So please tell me how that isn't installed properly.

    I also tried that validation program.
    Doesn't work, just shows a blank notepad, even when IT IS NOT installed to program files but to a Rome Total War copy in My Documents. I'm using Windows Vista and my Java is up to date.

    Really why couldn't a mod just be made that people can actually play without so much fuss, say like Rome Total Realism which may not reach the grand of this one but atleast people could play it by just installing it and it's done.

    What I mean is, if you've installed it properly, it should work. It not working is contradictory to you having installed it correctly.

    You may have installed RTW and EB in another protected location that Vista screws up. Please try this validation, I've tweaked it to write the results directly on the C: drive instead of wherever EB is installed. It should be able to write there. You still need to unpack it in your RTW folder where you have EB installed.

    Please do try to disable movies though. How is detailed in the validation post. Try the other solutions posted in the validation thread too, which you have no doubt read before posting.
