Hey Vartan i have the same problem as Lukas. windows 7 64 bit, steam-Rome Gold(as you said) i;ve tried what you set up perhaps i should clean everything and try again? After i first installed and and fired up eb it actually went to a eb load screen but that was it. now i think Rome is gonna have to be wiped too. if you have any thoughts thatd be great if you could get back to me. and sorry for the run on sentences
