Crash on open screen

[spurs_dan21]

Have spent over 10 hours now across two nights doing my absolute bloody best to play the game. First time, it worked. Played a custom battle as Greeks and started a campaign as them. However after 30 seconds of the campaign upon clicking on my first city it crashed. Havent been past the Europa Barbarorum opening screen since. It just crashes (not to desktop) and stays there totally frozen. I alt+ctrl+delete and it tells me its not responding. Have installed and uninstalled twice. I give up now doing things under my own steam, help. Please.

What version of the mod are you playing and what sort of computer do you have? If it's somewhat ancient, that might be the problem as EB needs a little better system than the minimum RTW requirements suggest to run well. If you've never been able to get one turn on a campaign done, then it might be a bad download (the installer or patch) or maybe the build wasn't a totally clean 1.5 one in the first place. Did you delete map.rwm also after you installed EB? The one inside the EB subdirectory? That might cause problems, but I wouldn't think it would cause this particular one.

its the full o.81a so i thought i wouldnt have to kick out the map.rwm file. computer is fine, and please dont tell me ive gota get a new download :(

so for the 0.81a full install ive still got to delete the map.rwm?

Not on the full 0.81a you shouldn't (I don't think). Was your RTW build a 1.5 one? Without anything else on it or modded?

[spurs_dan21]

yea completely fresh uninstall and wiped clean before being put back on and patched to 1.5

I'm not sure what to advise then. I can't swear by my life that the full 0.81a build is perfectly fine, because I took a clean 1.5 build and put a full 0.81 build on it, then installed the "a" hotfix on after it - a little different than what you are doing. But it really does seem like it is a bad install or download. Let's see what anyone else says or advises.
