Failure to Launch

[Kamakazi]

I wonder if anyone else is having this problem. Every time I try to launch R2 now it wont launch. It goes to the sega/ca/rome 2 screen and then stops working....

any helpful ideas?

Im not having this problem but I read that others are. Try deleting the Rome 2 folder in your roaming folder (its where your saves are held), but make sure you make a backup of your saves as doing so deletes them.

This worked for some. Also, verify game cache and make sure that no mods are enabled.

This happens to me once in a while. Sometimes exiting Steam entirely and then logging back in will correct it, sometimes it won't. If not, then I reboot the computer; that has always worked for me.

I suspect it has something to do with DirectX.

Deleteing the saves did noting but it started when I dumped the mods.... Now how will I play my campaigns that were modded? Should I try to re introduce the mods?

[Hooahguy]

Your mods probably have not updated yet for the new beta patch. I would wait a bit so the authors can update.

[Kamakazi]

So back to vanilla I guess? Well after a bit of tinkering I narrowed it down to the radious mod..... I cant play that campaign (my macedon campaign) so I guess its a break time for me

[Hooahguy]

Yeah, Im pretty sure that the radious mods are having issues.

That's wishful thinking at best. I high doubt that CA will change that now. And considering how easy and seamless it is to add mods with the workshop, your reasoning sounds kinda silly, no offense.

Not a fan of mods myself. I have a hard time not considering them just random buffs some random individual came up with that simply replaces what sometimes appears to be the at least not well thought out and tested settings done by CA. Which is in fact entirely under their control to do something about.

M2 did see some mods I considered worth using.

I never saw anything for Shogun 2 I even considered and so far I can say the same for Rome 2.

[Hooahguy]

I understand where you are coming from, as mods are little more than changes that the creator(s) desire, but I personally feel that if there is a mod that tickles your fancy you should go for it.

I can't launch the game anymore. It just tell me it stopped working even after reinstalling the whole thing and deleting everything relevant to it =X

[Hooahguy]

Did you go here? "C:\Users[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\scripts" and delete user.script.txt and preferences.script.txt. If you don't have user.script.txt, you're okay; that's a file some mods need, and others do not. Also delete the savegame folder within the rome 2 folder in that same area. Also make sure you delete all mods, not just untick them.

[Hooahguy]

That is really strange. I have no clue what is going wrong, its working fine for me. Did you post on the official tech forums about this? They only check the official bug forum for tech problems so try there.

.net install maybe helpful
