Switching from Total Realism to Europa Barborum

[PHTrojan08]

To do this, can I just DL and install EB, is there something I have to delete, or will I have to completely Uninstall and Reinstall Rome: Total War

Any is appreciated.

In order to have EB work properly, you must install it a a 1.2 patched game. You cannot install it over other mods, it has to be on a clean install of RTW and on the 1.2 patch. If you have trouble finding the patch, it is on the EB website. Hope this helps.

Yeah, that's good. It took some creative help from the guys at the RTR forum to even get RTR on my computer...my game was 1.5 out of the box...had to D-Patch to 1.2 using the ZIP. Well, I'm home sick from school, so, I'll make this my project for the day.

I'm just glad I don't have History or Philosophy this semester. Oh how I hate missing those.

TY, you've been most helpful.

If your computer has the space, I would recommend THREE copies of RTW. Install one and patch (d-patch in your case) to 1.2. Then copy one for RTR and one for EB. Upgrade the original to 1.5. That's what I've done. I use the original for BI. I switch between RTR and EB according to mood.

When I try to run EB it says

Generic Error:

Cannot read: data/descr_battle_map_lighting_and_foc_control.txt

Thats sounds like the result of a corrupt install. Sorry, I know its a pain but you will probably have to try download/install it again. If you do reinstall try to resist from running other programs or applications while it installs/downloads (Actually, I'm not sure if the install is the thing thats corrupted or if its the download. Could someone else verify which it is?).

Ok, I re-installed and downloaded everything. Now, when I click on the Europa Barbarorum shortcut, the RTW title screen shows, and the computer kicks up acting like it will open the program, but then, nothing happens.

GAH!

The De-Patch from 1.5 to 1.2 was done correctly, and it said Euorpa Barbarorum installed, but now it doesn't go anywhere.
