Also good for those who play multiple mods or even like to have a clean EB build alongside the one they are tweaking. But if you only play EB, and don't do much to it, and it's already very clean, then go ahead and overwrite your basic RTW build.

Thanks, harddrive space is at a premium on my system since I only have 40 gig drive.

I don't know how much it would help, but try Rarring or Zipping it instead of copying. It compresses it somewhat.

I installed the hotfix 3 times over a clean rtw 1.5 + eb 0.81(full), all 3 times it removed almost completly eb0.81 (from 3,65 gb to 2,42 gb).
Install of the hotfix took approx. 25 min. and it was removing files for about 15 min. Maybe the guy's who installed the hotfix (via the installer ) and it worked right were doing this over a rtw 1.5 + eb 0.80 + eb 0.81 patch or rtw + bi.

I don't know if this is helping , but you never know ( it's strange that the same hotfix is working for one and notfor the other) I followed all instructions by the book and couldnt get it to work.

The full install 0.81a is working fine.

Thanks eb-members for your quick replies and for doing such a great job with this mod, it's fantastic.

hmm..i have even install the (zip) patch and it works fine atm...i have now year 193 roman campaigne, my save game works and no crash...patch is working since i have now in the other 5 Italian City´s Principes that were not recruitable before (polybian reforms atm) so i think its working even with savegames that were made before.

I have just finished installing (on a fresh RTW1.5/BI1.6) the EB0.81 + Patch0.81a. Running the patch took a long time, most of which it was "removing files". Now I look into my EB/Data folder and see that there are only the following files:

descr_model_battle.txt
descr_rebel_factions.txt
descr_settlement_plant.txt
export_descr_buildings.txt
export_descr_unit.txt

And only the following sub-folders:

loading_screen
menu
scripts
text
UI
world

Which is obviously missing a whole load of important stuff. The music files for example.

Good morning EBers

just some additional info

I found that post the 0.81a hotfix - if I reinstalled 0.81 over the top - the game strats working again fine - v0.81 of coarse - so I would agree the 0.81a installer appears to be removing certain 0.81 files, files added as part of the 0.81 install it would seem.

just doing what I can to fill in the blanks

keep up the good work

I used the zip-file. 0.81a works wonderful!

Just a little note - to be absolutely sure the hotfix itself worked, I checked a battle in-game, and my KH general is now with a unit of spartans (which I definitely did not have in the build earlier), so I'm 100% sure that it worked fine with me.
