Running EB in Windows 10

Matteo, your EB needs to be installed in the same folder as the Steam version of RTW. Otherwise, you will not be able run this game. However, I believe you may be confusing EB with Barbarian Invasion. BI definitely overwrites some RTW files, but I do not think EB does the same. In fact, RTW seems to work even though I have EB installed.

I would recommend having an extra copy of RTW (as a backup) somewhere else, so that you can reinstall if necessary.

Yes, my bad, EB creates its own folder during installation, so it doesn't overwrite anything from original files.

However, I had to add the following string to EB Play shortcut in order to run EB...

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:EB -show_err

... otherwise RTW would have started.

P.S.: Can you post a picture of the RTW content's folder before installing any mods? I mean, the "fresh" folder with only RTW/BI/Alexander installed.

Hi. I have a non-Steam RTW installation and EB 1.2 on Windows 10. I managed to make it work but it's so laggy on both strategic and tactical maps that it's impossible to play. Any advice?

Hello Boriak,

Unfortunately, the only advice I can give you is already posted in this thread. The Steam version of R:TW appears to work better than the non-Steam one, so deinstalling and then activating in the product in Steam may do the trick.

While I'm not overly fond of buying a game a second time, 8$ is not the end of the world. I just hope it will work. I have a lot of saved games to continue on the new computer.

Thanks for the reply, Ludens.

If you still have your R:TW CD key, it may not be necessary to repurchase. According to the post above, you can just activate it in Steam.

Let us know if it works!
