EB v0.81a Hotfix released

[bovi]

Seems I'm the only full seeder at the moment, it's a pity. My computer was off during the night so my GF could sleep... I see people are at about 20%, and it sucks that I can't get mine to upload faster. I'll try another client.

Edit: Running three clients now, uTorrent, Azureus and BitComet. All of them are slow, but Azureus seems to give the best upload (a poor 10-15 kb/s).

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I'm helping to seed too, but my connection sucks and it isn't doing anything.

If there is anyone out there that wanted to help and downloaded directly. You can download the torrent, tell it to install to where you did your direct download. The BitTorrent client should be able to identify it, check it, and then you can go straight to seeding.

thanks to everyone who helped seed! it means a lot to me and shows the comradeship of the eb community. i will keep seeding for the next few days in case anyone else wants to download it. once again, thank you very much!

Note: The hotfix file ("EB FTP Patch") has been removed until such time as we can get it working properly (in many cases it seems to delete the entire EB file set instead of upgrading it). So as an interim step, here is the link to the zip file we used for the last internal build. It has all the same files (except the Readme), and it should work for anybody who hasn't already used the previous Hotfix installer. The zip file is designed to be installed into the RTW Root directory (i.e the one above "EB") and will automatically place all files in the correct folders.

YEAH!!! I wish you would release all patches in this form. I understand why you don't. But, they are just so much faster to DL and so much easier.

Anyhoo, thanks EB Team! Kudos!

I used the zip file, and it worked like a charm, i saved it here:
C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War and then i extracted the files there. It even made the shortcut.

[Alkiviadis]

So...it seems that the zip works...
I have downloaded the patch,the full and the zip,but i wonder wich of all this can work...
I think that with zip No one face a problem...Is that right?

They have different purposes:

1) The "full" is designed to go on top of a clean v1.5 RTW install (but it can update a previous EB installation, too).

2) The Patch is no longer available - if you downloaded it, don't use it.

3) The zip is designed to go on top of a working EB v.81 build.

Sorry, bit of a side question but it refers back to something posted earlier. A dutch guy asked about how finished EB was overall, and I understand the huge scope of this project means EB is a work in progress. I was just wondering if the EB team felt they would reach a final version or if because of the way things change over time this would always be a constant Mod?

[Arbaces]

Mişto! I should prepare myself for a new campaign then, eh... I can feel it that this time I will win (last time Macedonians kicked my ass).

I would expect we release a final version, but 1.0 won't be it. We won't require all 500 units be done to give it the 1.0 tag, and so we will still be working on some things after that designation.

[Alkiviadis]

Thanks Kull...
I will install the zip version...
I don't need to delete the map file...Is that correct?

[Kull]

That is correct.

[Alkiviadis]

Thanks again...

Small question here, I got 81a full from the website, and also a patch.

The file of the patch is 81a3.zip

It is oki to use that .Zip or its not required? I am guessing its version 3 of the Hotfix right?

[Suraknar]

Oki never mind, all went well.

Made a separate folder and installed full + patch..and works fine.

Thanks

v.81a has the entire patch, including the Hotfix. The zip file contains the 3rd internal version of the hotfix, which is the same as the released hotfix, which is already part of the v.81a full install.

So no, you don't need to add the zip file to the full install, although you won't break anything if you do.

[Suraknar]

Ahh :) Thank you for the clarification!

[kambiz]

THE DOWNLOAD LINKS DO NOT WORK Can you please take a look at them?

Thanks

[bovi]

Looked at them. They work.

[kambiz]

Looked at them. They work.

Hmmm ,Maybe it's just me
It seems the file is 7MB ,Is it possible to provide me a "www.megaupload.com" link? (Don't bother you if the filesize is more than 7mb)

Thanks for the quick response

[bovi]

I forget where, but someone once said that our website was blacklisted on some shady filtering application as a "peer-to-peer poisoner" or some such nonsense. Perhaps you have got one of those installed? We like to track the number of downloads, so we prefer if you get the links to work rather than post an alternate file.

[kambiz]

Thanks bovi :) Yes it was my firewall that blocked your site and prevent me downloading the Hotfix.

Thank you for the help

It is meant to be this way. Check the FAQ about Roman reforms for more information.

[jhagon14]

So you're supposed to wait for the next reform?

What is EB2?

The EB Mod designed for M2TW (similar in many respects to this, the EB1 mod, but taking advantage of the new features in M2TW).

[Alien of Germania]

I installed the 0.81a over my clean 1.05 but im trying to run the game it only runs the original rome total war... what am I doing wrong?

[bovi]

Note that you should use 0.81a V2 now. Please refer to the installation guide.

Remember to use the EB desktop icon. Normal methods of playing RTW will get you vanilla RTW.
