Re: Crash when loading
I believe you have installed in the wrong directory, or installed a botched submod. Try the following.
1. Have you fixed the shortcut? It's detailed in the frequent issues.
2. Try the quick solutions listed in the validation post which you haven't already.
3. Run a validation and post the results here so we can interpret them. If you get no output, download the updated validation and run that.

Re: Crash when loading
Fixed the shortcut with no effect. Nothing shows when i run a valedation check although i downloaded the new one and its not installed in program files but on my desktop. I just get a blank notepad. I've tried all other fixes i think.
Worth uninstalling and just playing the older version un patched you think?

Re: Crash when loading
The new one should definitely be able to show results. Are you sure there is no error message in the DOS window (the black one with text when you run it)?
I would not use the older version. If you install it correctly, there should be no problem looking anything like what you describe, so I believe you've done something wrong.

Re: Crash when loading
Well i dont see how i could have installed it wrong as i followed the guide to the letter not once not twice but 3 times and re downloaded the patch from a different mirror incase it was corrupted.
Ok i think there is an error (in the validation check in the black and white bit). says (access is denied) at one point. Is this still the old one and the new version of validation check didnt install properly? Anyway i can check this?
Re: Crash when loading
When you get the new one, you need to place it in your RTW folder. Then you run the validateInstall.bat file (you may not have the .bat part showing).

Re: Crash when loading
ok well that def doesnt work. oh well thanks for trying. ill just play it unpatched
Re: Crash when loading
OK i reinstalled 4th time lucky and it worked. What i had done before was install the patch in C:\Users\Rob\Desktop\Rome not C:\Users\Rob\Desktop\Rome\EB
I didn't think that was very clear in the guide which said "Make sure you install it into the very same location as 1.1!" but at least it works now. Thank you for your help and time.
