Crashing

[Septimus]

Okay, let me just first say that I am in no way a computer expert, a MOD expert, nor an EB expert, however I have been tracking its progress for about a year and was quite excited to have 0.8. Unfortunately, after downloading it and installing it on top of (what I think is) a fresh RTW 1.5 file it does not work. I get to where I can select a faction from the Imperial Campaign but when I proceed the program simply shuts down. I can not do any Historical Battles because it gives me the message "Please select an item from the list" the same thing occurs when I try to play the Prologue. Please, can someone help this MOD-noob and relieve his absolute frustration over not being able to play this much anticipated game.

We don't have any historical battles ready for it yet. Prologue doesn't work either for these mods.

So, you have to make sure not only that your 1.5 build *is* actually 1.5, but that no other base files in it have been changed - that it is indeed a clean 1.5 build. If you've done that, there's no way it shouldn't work. We've had about a couple of thousand people download it since the release and this definitely works.

Sounds like the version is right, but map.rwm is either failing to generate properly or there is already a wrong one there. Search your EB installation directory for a file called map.rwm and delete any occurrances of it.

Thanks guys, I'm doing a fresh install just to make sure, then we'll get to the bottom of this problem! I hope to be playing soon.

Sorry to say it but I uninstalled everything, reinstalled everything, patched everything, and then installed EB and still didn't work. Same problem - I just don't know what to do.

Once again, uninstalled, reinstalled, patched, and installed EB over top didn't work. Tried Cheex's instructions for installing and playing it over BI and had the exact same problem. What could the problem possibly be?
