after installing cannot open game

[XSamatan]

You don't have to edit the name, right click on the new created shortcut and select 'properties'. There you'll see a line titled 'Target'. You now add -mod:eb -show_err -ne to the end of this line. Without any " or ' !

I'm having the same error message come up when I try to start the game. I've tried the second fix that you recommended to Westy but it continues to give me the same error message. I was wondering if this is because I've installed EB in the programs files which I've seen a lot of people recommending not to do?

Thanks!

If you edited the target file as seen in this thread, it is quite possible that Windows don't let you change this detail.
You can either create a complete new shortcut to Rome-TW.exe or, better, install again, but this time outside from the Program Files.
