Thread: game doesnt work when modding
artavazd 21:30 04-27-2005
i have modded the faction characteristics (ex. trader henry, sailor napoleon) when i try to start an imperial campain the game just shuts off on its own and my screen returns to my screensaver. I have vanilla rtw and i was wondering if the game is malfunctioning becasue of the changes i made and if so how do i go back cuz i dont remeber what some of the faciton charactristics were originialy thanks.

Start the game with RTW shortcut on your desktop with this line in the target "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err
When your RTW crashes you should see window telling you cause of that

On your desktop icon right click on it and click properties and in the target line add -show_err

i added (-show_err) in the target box and it stated that this is not valid


it looked like this in the target box: ("C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe"-show_err)

Should look like this:

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


Put a space before -show_err
